  • What are the advantages of a frameless shower door?

    A frameless shower enclosure is aesthetically superior to any other shower solution, increasing the value of your home. A frameless glass shower door in Chantilly, VA lasts much longer than a framed shower door and eliminates the look of ugly, thick metal framing. Frameless shower doors are the easiest of any shower door to clean. By eliminating the bulky shower door framing, only glass and minimal perimeter support remain, which can be easily cleaned to a “like new” condition using a rubber squeegee.

  • What is the estimated timeline for the installation process?

    We've found that installation of a glass shower enclosure typically takes from one to three weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and any delays. Ask your installer for an estimated timeline on your glass shower door in Chantilly, VA.

  • How should I maintain and clean my glass shower enclosure?

    Maintaining the pristine look of your enclosure is easy with the right care. Ask your installer for cleaning tips and recommended products to keep your glass shower door in Chantilly, VA looking sparkly and new.

  • How will you ensure a watertight and secure installation to prevent leaks?

    Preventing leaks is crucial to protecting your bathroom from water damage. According to Family Handyman, shower doors were invented in Ohio in the 1960s, but they've come a long way since then! A skilled installer will use high-quality seals, gaskets, and precision installation techniques to ensure a watertight fit.

  • Does a frameless shower enclosure leak?

    All frameless glass shower doors in Chantilly, VA are designed to deflect water, not retain it. Simply put, a frameless shower door has no frame. High water pressure, body sprays, incorrect placement of shower heads, and improperly pitched curbs or sills can cause leaking near the door but not near stationary glass panels which are sealed and watertight.

  • How thick is the glass used in a frameless shower door and/or enclosure?

    The thinnest glass we use for a glass shower door in Chantilly, VA is 3/8” thick. Some of the textured glass we offer only comes in this size, but we also use 1/2” thick glass. We sometimes recommend this heavier glass on larger enclosures or for certain configurations for the mere reasons of rigidity and safety.

  • How soon can you install my door?

    Our stock doors can be installed as quickly as one week from receiving an order, while we've found that custom enclosures generally take three to five weeks. In some cases, lead times can be increased due to custom finishes or the complexity of the enclosure. Call us today to get started on your glass shower door in Chantilly, VA!

  • How much time does the shower door installation itself actually take?

    We've found that a frameless glass shower door in Chantilly, VA takes only an hour or two to install. Larger, full-size frameless shower enclosures and/or steam enclosures usually take no more than a day to install, in our experience.
