Custom shower glass for homes across Northern Virginia — measured, fabricated and installed by our own crews.
Custom Shower Glass for Northern Virginia Homes
Northern Virginia bathrooms range from older homes in Arlington, Alexandria and the inner Fairfax County suburbs to newer construction across Loudoun and western Fairfax County. Older baths often have walls that are out of square, so a stock door will not seal; newer primary baths tend to have taller openings, where panel weight and hinge selection decide what is possible. Either way, a shower enclosure is built as one assembly around a single opening, so we measure every opening on site and fabricate the glass to fit it.

Frameless Shower Doors
Heavy tempered glass carried on hinges and clamps instead of a metal frame, in 3/8″ and 1/2″ glass — straight inline, corner, neo-angle and door-with-return-panel layouts, plus curbless and wet-room configurations.
Sliding and Barn-Style Shower Doors
Where a swinging door would hit a vanity, a toilet or a narrow walkway, a top-rolling barn-style slider or a bypass system keeps the frameless look, in the same glass and hardware finishes as our swing doors.
Steam Shower Enclosures
Steam enclosures take glass to the ceiling or close it off with a fixed transom, on a steam-rated door with the right seals and sweep, plus a vent or operable transom. Bring us in while the framing is still open — header support and ceiling condition are far easier to solve 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 you see on the edge of standard glass. Acid-etched and rain glass add privacy where a shower faces a window.
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 supplies.

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 to 10 business days from the date we measure to the date we install. Unusual configurations, specialty glass and custom hardware finishes can add time, and we will tell you at the measure if your job is one of them.
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.
