Q: How long does it take to receive my items after I place the order?

Once deposit is received, your order will be installed in 10-12 business days.

Q: Should I use 1/4” or 3/8” glass?

The majority of frameless shower doors are made from 3/8" glass and it is the thickness that we recommend you use. However, ¼” is generally used for semi-frameless applications with perimeter metal.

Q: What stops the door in the closed position?

The door hinges are designed to swing the door 180 degrees. If the door is open more than about 20 degrees it stays open. A vinyl strike is applied to prevent the door from swinging into the shower and to seal the gap between the door and the panel.
