Custom Glass Shower Enclosures
You step into a shower that feels like it was designed specifically for your space because it was. The glass is crystal clear, the seals are perfect, and there’s not a single leak in sight.
Your mornings start better when your shower actually works the way it should. No more dealing with water pooling on the floor or doors that stick and rattle.
The difference is in the details. Custom measurements mean everything fits exactly right. Professional installation means it stays that way for years. And when your friends see it, they’ll want to know who did the work.
Long Island Shower Door Specialists
OMG Shower Doors has been handling custom glass installations across Long Island since the early 2000s. We’ve earned Better Business Bureau certification and maintain active memberships with LIBI and the National Kitchen & Bath Association.
Our client list includes some of the Hamptons’ finest homes and the contractors who build them. That’s not luck – it’s the result of transparent communication, precise measurements, and installations that last.
South Hempstead homeowners choose us because we show up when we say we will, provide detailed proposals without hidden costs, and offer meaningful discounts to military personnel, veterans, and first responders.
Shower Door Installation Process
First, we come to your home for precise measurements. Not estimates – actual measurements using professional tools. This is where most problems get prevented.
Next, you receive a detailed proposal that breaks down exactly what you’re getting and what it costs. No fine print, no surprise charges later.
Once you approve the project, we handle the custom glass fabrication in-house. Your shower enclosure gets built specifically for your bathroom’s dimensions. Then our certified installers complete the installation using techniques refined over twenty years of Long Island projects.

Frameless Shower Door Options
Your shower enclosure includes custom-cut tempered safety glass, professional-grade hardware, and precision sealing systems. We work with frameless designs that make small bathrooms feel larger and semi-framed options for specific architectural needs.
South Hempstead homes often feature unique bathroom layouts that require creative solutions. We handle corner installations, curved glass, and custom angles that standard shower doors simply can’t accommodate.
The glass itself resists water spots and soap buildup better than cheaper alternatives. The hardware is designed to handle daily use without loosening or corroding. And the installation process protects your existing tile and fixtures throughout the project.
How long does a custom shower enclosure installation take?
Most installations are completed in one day, typically 4-6 hours depending on the complexity of your design. The timeline starts with an initial consultation and measurement appointment, followed by 7-10 business days for custom glass fabrication.
Simple frameless enclosures with standard angles usually take less time than complex corner installations or designs requiring curved glass. We schedule installation appointments in advance and provide specific time windows rather than vague “sometime this week” commitments.
We protect your bathroom throughout the process and clean up completely before leaving. You can use your shower the same day once the installation is complete and the sealant has cured.
What's the difference between frameless and semi-framed shower doors?
Frameless shower enclosures use thicker tempered glass (typically 3/8″ to 1/2″) with minimal hardware, creating clean sight lines and a more open feel. They’re ideal for showcasing beautiful tile work and making smaller bathrooms appear larger.
Semi-framed options use thinner glass with more substantial metal framing around the perimeter. This approach costs less than frameless but still provides a custom fit and professional appearance.
Your choice depends on your budget, bathroom size, and design preferences. We show you both options during the consultation so you can see how each would look in your specific space before making a decision.
How do you prevent leaks with custom shower enclosures?
Leak prevention starts with precise measurements and proper installation techniques. We use laser levels to ensure perfect alignment and apply commercial-grade sealants designed specifically for glass-to-tile connections.
The key is understanding how water flows in your specific shower configuration. We account for slight variations in your existing tile work and adjust the installation accordingly rather than forcing glass to fit imperfect surfaces.
All sealing work includes a curing period before you can use the shower. We also provide specific maintenance instructions to keep seals effective long-term, including which cleaning products to use and which ones to avoid.
Can you install shower doors if my bathroom has unusual dimensions?
Unusual dimensions are exactly why custom fabrication exists. We regularly handle angled walls, sloped ceilings, and irregular openings that would be impossible with standard shower door kits.
We measure everything during the initial consultation, including walls that aren’t perfectly square or plumb. The custom glass is then fabricated to accommodate these real-world conditions rather than ideal measurements.
Complex installations might require additional hardware or creative design solutions, but that’s part of our expertise. We’ll explain any limitations upfront and propose alternatives if your original vision isn’t structurally feasible.
What type of glass maintenance is required for shower enclosures?
Daily maintenance involves squeegeing or wiping down the glass after each shower to prevent water spots and soap buildup. This takes about 30 seconds and dramatically extends the time between deep cleanings.
For weekly cleaning, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner and soft cloth or paper towels. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or anything containing ammonia, which can damage the glass coating and seals over time.
We provide specific product recommendations based on your glass type and local water conditions. South Hempstead’s water hardness affects how quickly mineral deposits build up, so we adjust our maintenance guidance accordingly.
Do you offer warranties on shower enclosure installations?
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Glass panels are warrantied against manufacturing defects, and installation work is guaranteed against leaks or hardware failures.
Warranty terms vary depending on the specific products and installation complexity, but typical coverage ranges from one to five years. We explain all warranty details during the proposal process so you understand exactly what’s covered.
More importantly, we stand behind our work regardless of warranty periods. If something isn’t right, we fix it. That’s how we’ve built relationships with Long Island contractors and homeowners over two decades.
