Custom Glass Shower Enclosures
You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for the one that won’t leak, won’t need adjusting every few months, and actually makes your bathroom feel like the space you’ve been picturing.
That’s what custom shower enclosures do when they’re measured right and installed by people who know what they’re doing. The glass is cut to fit your walls—even if they’re not perfectly square. The hardware matches your fixtures. The seals actually work.
You get a shower that opens smoothly, closes without catching, and doesn’t drip water onto your floor. More than that, you get a bathroom that feels bigger, brighter, and worth the investment you just made in it.
Frameless Shower Doors Port Washington North
We’ve been installing custom glass shower enclosures across Long Island for over 20 years. That includes plenty of homes right here in Port Washington North—where older construction meets modern renovation, and where precision matters because walls aren’t always level and layouts aren’t always standard.
We work with homeowners, contractors, and designers on everything from straightforward frameless shower doors to full custom enclosures with glass balconies and pool features. We’re certified with the Better Business Bureau, hold active memberships in the Long Island Builders Institute and National Kitchen and Bath Association, and sponsor local community events.
Our client list includes some of the Hamptons’ most notable homes, but the process stays the same regardless of project size: clear proposals, accurate measurements, and installations handled with the kind of attention that comes from doing this work every single day.
Shower Door Installation Process
First, your bathroom needs to be ready. That means tile or wall surfaces finished, shower pan or base in place. The glass can’t be measured until those are done, because even small variations change the dimensions.
Once that’s set, we come out to template your space. This isn’t a quick tape measure job—it’s precise measurements that account for walls being out of square, slight slopes, and any obstructions. Those measurements go to fabrication, where your glass gets custom-cut to fit your exact opening.
Fabrication typically takes two to three weeks. When your glass is ready, we handle installation. Depending on the complexity—whether it’s a single frameless door or a multi-panel enclosure—that takes anywhere from one to five hours. The glass gets set, hardware gets mounted, everything gets sealed properly, and we walk you through how it operates.
You’re not left guessing. You know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and what to expect when the job’s done.

Glass Shower Installation Port Washington North
When you order a custom shower enclosure, you’re getting glass that’s cut specifically for your bathroom. Not adjusted to fit. Not trimmed on-site. Cut to your measurements before it ever arrives.
You choose the glass type—standard clear, low-iron for an ultra-clear look, or textured options if you want privacy without losing light. You pick the hardware finish to match your faucets and towel bars. And you decide on the door style: frameless for that open, modern feel, or framed if you want more structure and water containment.
In Port Washington North, where many homes blend traditional architecture with updated interiors, that flexibility matters. A frameless enclosure can modernize a classic bathroom without clashing. Custom sizing works around quirky layouts that come with older homes. And because the glass is tempered safety glass, it meets code requirements while standing up to daily use.
You also get an installation that’s done by people who do this full-time, not as a side project. That means proper sealing to prevent leaks, correctly mounted hardware that won’t sag over time, and a finished product that works the way it should from day one.
How long does it take to get a custom shower enclosure installed?
The timeline breaks into two parts: fabrication and installation. After your bathroom is finished and measurements are taken, the glass fabrication takes about two to three weeks. That’s when your enclosure is being custom-cut to fit your exact dimensions.
Installation itself happens in one visit and typically takes between one and five hours, depending on how complex your enclosure is. A single frameless door on a standard opening? Closer to one or two hours. A multi-panel corner enclosure with custom hardware? Closer to five.
The key is making sure your tile, walls, and shower base are completely finished before measurements happen. If those aren’t done, the timeline can’t start. Once they are, you’re looking at roughly three weeks from measurement to finished installation.
What's the difference between frameless and framed shower doors?
Frameless shower doors use thicker glass—usually 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch—and minimal hardware. There’s no metal frame surrounding the glass, which gives you that clean, open look. The glass is held in place by hinges or clips mounted directly to the wall and door. Because there’s less metal, there are fewer places for water and soap scum to build up, which makes cleaning easier.
Framed shower doors have a metal frame—typically aluminum—around the edges of the glass. The frame provides structural support, so the glass can be thinner and the overall cost is usually lower. Framed doors tend to contain water better because of the frame’s seal, which can be helpful if you have a shower with strong water pressure or limited space.
Both work. Frameless looks more modern and makes a bathroom feel larger. Framed is more budget-friendly and offers stronger water containment. The choice depends on your style, your budget, and how your bathroom is laid out.
Will a custom shower enclosure fit if my walls aren't perfectly square?
Yes, and that’s exactly why custom matters. Most bathrooms—especially in older Long Island homes—don’t have perfectly square walls or level floors. Standard, off-the-shelf shower doors can’t accommodate those variations, which leads to gaps, leaks, and doors that don’t close properly.
When we template your space, we’re measuring for those imperfections. The glass gets cut to match your actual walls, not some ideal measurement. If one side is slightly out of plumb or your curb has a subtle slope, the glass is fabricated to fit that reality.
That’s the difference between custom and standard. Custom adapts to your space. Standard expects your space to adapt to it. And in real-world bathrooms, custom is what prevents problems down the road.
How do I know if the installation will prevent leaks?
Leaks usually happen for one of three reasons: improper sealing, incorrect measurements, or hardware that’s not mounted securely. Professional installation addresses all three.
First, the glass is measured and cut to fit your space precisely, which minimizes gaps. Second, all seams and edges get sealed with the right materials—silicone designed for wet environments, applied correctly so it creates a watertight bond. Third, the hardware is mounted into solid backing, not just drywall, so it doesn’t shift or sag over time.
We also test the door before we leave. That means checking the swing, making sure seals are tight, and confirming there’s no water escaping during normal use. A good installation isn’t just about making it look right—it’s about making sure it functions right, and that includes keeping water where it belongs.
Can I choose different glass options for privacy?
Absolutely. Clear glass is the most common choice because it makes bathrooms feel open and shows off your tile work, but it’s not your only option. If you want privacy without losing light, you can go with textured glass—options like rain glass, frosted, or reeded glass let light through while obscuring the view.
There’s also low-iron glass, sometimes called Starphire, which eliminates the slight greenish tint you get with standard clear glass. It’s ultra-clear and works well if you have intricate tile or stone you want to showcase.
The glass type doesn’t affect the structural integrity or installation process. It’s purely about what works for your household. If you share a bathroom or just prefer not to have a completely transparent shower, textured glass solves that without compromising the modern look of a frameless enclosure.
Do you offer warranties on shower enclosures and installation?
Yes. The specifics vary depending on the materials and scope of the project, but you should expect coverage on both the glass itself and the installation work. That typically includes protection against defects in the glass, issues with the hardware, and problems stemming from installation errors.
What matters most is understanding what’s covered and for how long before the work starts. We’ll walk you through the warranty terms upfront—what’s included, what’s not, and how to handle any issues if they come up. That transparency is part of our process.
You’re making an investment in your home. A warranty backs that investment and gives you recourse if something doesn’t perform the way it should. It’s not just a piece of paper—it’s accountability.
