Frameless Shower Doors and Glass Enclosures in Sterling, VA

Custom shower glass for homes in Sterling and the surrounding communities — measured, fabricated and installed by our own crews.
Custom Shower Glass for Sterling Homes
Sterling is our home base, and our showroom is here. Homes around Sterling range from townhouses with standard tub and shower openings to single-family homes with larger primary baths. Some openings have walls that are no longer square; others are wide or tall enough that panel weight and hinge choice decide what is possible. If your bathroom still has its original framed door or a curtain over the tub, frameless glass can usually be fitted to the existing opening when the tile and curb are sound. We measure every opening on site and fabricate the glass to fit it, for homeowners, contractors, builders and interior designers, and we tailor each enclosure to your style and the way you use the space.
Our Sterling Showroom and Service Area
Our showroom is at 45915 Maries Rd, Suite 116, Sterling, VA 20166, where you can see glass, hardware and finishes in person. Get directions on Google Maps.
Around Sterling, we measure and install in Potomac Falls, Cascades, Countryside, Sugarland Run and Lowes Island, as well as throughout Sterling itself. The consultation, the measurement and the installation all happen at your home.
We also cover the rest of Loudoun County and Northern Virginia.
Frameless Shower Doors
Heavy 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered glass held by hinges and clamps instead of a metal frame — inline door-and-panel, corner, neo-angle and door-with-return layouts, plus curbless openings. Choose the glass, the hardware style and the finish to match the rest of the bathroom.
Sliding and Barn-Style Shower Doors
A top-rolling barn-style slider or a bypass system saves the swing space a hinged door needs, so it works where a door would hit a vanity or a toilet. Sliders suit bathtubs as well as shower stalls, with the same glass choices and hardware finishes as our swing doors.
Steam Shower Enclosures
Steam enclosures take the glass to the ceiling or close it with a fixed transom, with a steam-rated door, the right seals and sweep, and a vent or operable transom. If you are building or remodeling, bring us in while the framing is still open — header support and ceiling details are easier to plan then.
Shower Screens, Tub Screens and Splash Panels
Not every opening needs a door. A fixed shower screen or splash panel keeps water off the floor in a walk-in shower, and a hinged or fixed tub screen replaces a shower curtain over a tub.
Glass, Hardware and Treatments
Glass Options
Clear tempered glass is the most popular choice. Low-iron (ultra-clear) glass removes the faint green cast of standard glass. Frosted (acid-etched), textured and patterned glass add privacy where a shower faces a window or a shared space.
Hardware Options
Handles, knobs, towel bars, hinges, clamps, channels, headers and sliding track. Finishes include chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, satin brass, polished nickel, bronze, antique brass and polished copper.
Glass Treatments
EnduroShield is a protective coating applied to the glass that makes water spots and soap film easier to clean off, and it carries a 10-year warranty. Optional on every enclosure and worth considering on hard water, including homes on a private well.

Planning a Custom Shower Enclosure?
We start by listening: how you use the shower, the look you want and any limits in the room. Then we work through the details with you.
- Glass — clear, low-iron, frosted, textured or patterned, depending on how open or private you want the shower to feel.
- Hardware — hinges, handles and finishes chosen for the weight of the glass and the rest of the bathroom.
- Details — door swing, clearances, seals and sweeps settled before anything is fabricated.
- Installation — our own crew installs the glass we measured for, typically 7–10 business days after measurement.
Tell us about your opening and we will come measure it. No charge for the consultation or the measurement.

How the Process Works
1. Schedule a consultation
Tell us about the opening. We book a visit that suits you.
2. Field measurement
We measure the actual opening on site and check it for plumb and square.
3. Select glass and hardware
Choose thickness, glass type, hardware style and finish.
4. Fabrication
Your glass is cut, tempered and prepared to your measurements.
5. Professional installation
Our own crew installs and seals the enclosure, typically 7–10 business days after measurement.
For Contractors, Builders and Designers
If you are building or remodeling for a client, we measure once the tile and curb are finished and coordinate the glass, hardware and finishes with your design. Our information for contractors covers installation guidelines, technical details and how to prepare an opening for frameless glass, and our shower design tips cover layout, space-saving and finish ideas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Price depends on the size of the opening, the glass thickness, the configuration and the hardware you choose. A single fixed panel is the least expensive option; a large multi-panel enclosure with heavy hardware and low-iron glass is the most. We quote after measuring, so the number you get is for your actual opening rather than an estimate that changes later. The consultation and the measurement are free.
Typically 7–10 business days after measurement. Unusual configurations, specialty glass and custom hardware finishes can take longer, and we confirm the timing with you when we measure.
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. If your tile is sound and the opening is finished, we can measure and fit new glass to it without touching the tile. We will flag it at the measure if the curb slope, the wall condition or the opening dimensions would cause a problem.
3/8″ and 1/2″ tempered glass for frameless work. Thickness is chosen from the panel size and the configuration — taller and wider panels generally need 1/2″. All shower glass we install is tempered safety glass.
Yes. Available finishes include chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, satin brass, polished nickel, satin nickel, brushed bronze, oil-rubbed bronze, antique brass, antique bronze and polished copper. You can see and compare the finishes in person before you decide.
Yes — top-rolling barn-style sliders on an exposed track, and bypass systems where two panels pass each other. Both are a good answer when a swinging door would hit a vanity or a toilet.
Yes. A steam enclosure needs glass taken to the ceiling or closed with a transom, a steam-rated door with the correct seals, and a way to vent the room. We build them to the opening and coordinate with your steam generator.
Our own employees. We do not subcontract the measure or the installation — the glass is fabricated to the measurements our crew takes on site, and the same company fits it.
