Shower door replacement
A shower enclosure that leaks at the seams, has a fogged or scratched panel, or is framed in dated metal is a small project with a big payoff in a bathroom. Window Inserts measures and installs framed and frameless glass shower doors.
How it works
Framed doors hang in a metal channel fixed to the walls and curb; frameless doors mount with hinges and clips onto the tile and use heavier tempered glass with a dry-glaze or minimal-seal detail. Both are cut and drilled to your enclosure's exact dimensions.
Where it fits well
- Replacing a leaking, corroded or dated framed enclosure
- Updating a bathroom that has otherwise been renovated
- Swapping a shower curtain for a fixed glass panel or door
What to weigh
- Frameless uses thicker glass and a cleaner look at a higher price; framed is more forgiving of walls that are slightly out of plumb
- The tile and curb need to be sound and reasonably true for a frameless install
- Glass is tempered and made to size — measurements are taken after the surround is finished
Questions

Framed or frameless shower door?
Frameless for the look and easy cleaning, if the walls and curb are true and the budget allows. Framed if you want a lower cost or your enclosure is a little out of square. We will measure and advise.
Is shower door work something you do on its own?
Yes, as a standalone project or bundled with other door and window work in the home.
