Custom Frameless Shower Door Installation
Luxury frameless shower door installation for a master bathroom remodel in Beaverton. Modern glass enclosure with premium hardware.
Project Overview
A homeowner in Beaverton's Cedar Hills neighborhood contacted Clear Works Glass during a master bathroom remodel. They wanted to replace their old framed shower door with a modern frameless glass enclosure that would make the bathroom feel larger and more luxurious. The project required custom measurements to accommodate the specific shower opening and tile work.
We designed a frameless shower door system featuring 3/8" tempered glass panels with minimal hardware. The installation included a fixed glass panel and a hinged door with premium chrome hardware that matched the bathroom's existing fixtures. The result was a spa-like shower enclosure that transformed the master bathroom into a modern retreat.
The Problem
The existing shower had an outdated framed shower door with metal channels that trapped soap scum and mildew. The heavy frame made the bathroom feel smaller and blocked natural light from reaching the shower. The homeowner wanted a modern, open feel that would complement their new tile work and fixtures.
The shower opening had unique dimensions due to custom tile work, requiring precise measurements and custom glass fabrication. The homeowner was concerned about water leakage, proper door swing clearance, and finding hardware that matched their brushed nickel fixtures. They needed a glass contractor with experience in custom frameless shower installations.
Challenges
Our Solution
Clear Works Glass scheduled an in-home consultation to measure the shower opening and discuss design options. We recommended a frameless system with a fixed glass panel and hinged door, which would provide the most open feel while ensuring proper water containment. We showed the homeowner hardware samples in various finishes and helped them select chrome hardware that complemented their bathroom design.
We custom-fabricated the glass panels to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit with the tile work. The 3/8" tempered glass provided the right balance of strength and weight for the frameless design. Installation took approximately 4 hours and included removing the old shower door, preparing the mounting surfaces, installing the new glass panels, and sealing all edges with professional-grade silicone.
The frameless shower door transformed the bathroom. The clear glass and minimal hardware created an open, spa-like atmosphere. The homeowner was thrilled with how the new shower enclosure made the bathroom feel larger and more luxurious. We provided care instructions for maintaining the glass and hardware, ensuring the shower would look beautiful for years to come.
Materials Used
We installed 3/8" tempered safety glass, which is the standard thickness for frameless shower doors. Tempered glass is four times stronger than regular glass and shatters into small, less dangerous pieces if broken. The glass was custom-cut to fit the shower opening precisely, with polished edges for a clean, finished appearance.
The hardware included premium chrome hinges, a towel bar handle, and wall-mounted brackets. All hardware was solid brass with a durable chrome finish that resists corrosion in the humid bathroom environment. We used clear silicone sealant designed specifically for shower applications, providing a watertight seal that remains flexible and mold-resistant.
