GLASS: ¼" safety glass (laminated glass) or tempered glass - depending on application. Standard glass is clear, gray or bronze. See samples in our showroom for optional patterns available.

Etched Glass – for a more unique customized appearance (i.e. Monograms, murals, etc.)
Frameless Enclosures can be used with tile, granite, or solid surface (Corian ®and cultured marble)
& are suitable for the following applications:
- Free standing enclosures · Neo-angle – corner units
- Tub enclosure · Customized Bath Enclosure.

INSTALLATION: ALL UNITS ARE CUSTOM MADE. Our technicians will measure the room to obtain precise measurements to assure the enclosure fits and functions properly. The frameless units require very close tolerances and careful installation. Final measurements are made after the walls are installed. Frames less enclosures are only sold installed.
UNIQUE FEATURES OF FRAMELESS ENCLOSURES: No gaskets! Vinyl gaskets detract from the style & beauty of the glass. In addition, vinyl gaskets are a maintenance item prone to prompt discoloring – taking away from the simple, clean appearance of an all glass enclosure. Since no gasket is utilized, minor leakage at the joints may result. The water spray should be directed away from the edges and leakage towel dried.
DELIVERY: Approx. 4 to 6 weeks after receipt of deposit, all measurements & design specifics.
PRICING: Due to the variables involved in a custom enclosure - it is impossible to give an exact estimate until field measurements are completed.
