Q: Are there standard sizes for Frameless Doors?

All of our frameless enclosures are custom made to order. Therefore, there are not any standard sizes. There are only average sizes that are commonly chosen. We can fabricate the order to any size you need, as long as the manufacturer limitations have not been exceeded. There are standard sizes for framed and semi-frameless enclosures. You are able to save money by choosing one of the standard sizes.

Q: Can the shower door glass be trimmed?

No. Once the glass has been tempered, it cannot be altered in any way.

Q: Can your shower doors be installed on Fiberglass shower units?

Yes, but it is best if you back up the fiberglass with some wood support. If that is not possible, then you can use a header across the top and pivots, instead of hinges. This keeps the weight of the door off the walls, or you can use a slider enclosure.

Q: Do I have to drill the holes in the glass myself?

No. The holes and notches all have to be drilled and cut before the glass is tempered. Our manufacturer uses the latest CNC diamond sawing, drilling and edging machines.

Q: Do you have a store or a showroom in my area?

One of the reasons we are able to offer such incredibly low prices is by minimizing our overhead expense of showrooms, and relying on our website. We do have a small showroom at our facility in Matthews, NC.

Q: Do you ship to my area, and what does shipping cost?

No. We install most of our products locally, but you are welcome to call us. We can check the freight costs for you.

Q: How are the enclosures engineered?

We are required to submit all designs to our hardware suppliers’ CAD program. This insures that every enclosure is manufactured to the highest standards.
