Mountains Edge Shower Doors — Quality Glass for Family Communities

Mountains Edge was developed from the mid-2000s, so its housing is newer than most of the southwest valley and its bathrooms reflect the standards of that period: reasonably generous master bathrooms, standard to slightly raised ceilings, and tiled openings that were built square more often than the older tract housing further east. In practice that means three-eighths tempered glass is usually the right specification, frameless looks proportionate without needing oversized panels, and we are more often glazing an opening for the first time than removing a failed enclosure.

It is, though semi-frameless is worth considering for a busy family bathroom and not as a downgrade. The channel around the fixed panels physically catches water and drains it back into the pan, which gives you a margin that a fully frameless enclosure does not have when a hand-held sprayer gets pointed in every direction. It also comes in twenty to thirty percent below a comparable frameless enclosure. If the look matters more than the margin, frameless is entirely practical here; we will price both at the measure so the choice is yours rather than ours.

The measure is usually available within the same week, since the shop on West Reno Avenue is a straightforward drive from the southwest valley. The appointment takes about thirty minutes and costs nothing. The wait after that is fabrication, fourteen to twenty days, because every panel is cut, edge-polished, drilled and tempered for your specific opening and tempered glass cannot be altered once it is made. Installation itself is two to four hours. If you are coordinating with a tile contractor, book the measure for after the tile is finished and cured.
