The Ridges Shower Doors — Ultra-Luxury Glass for Summerlin's Elite

The Ridges is at the top end of Summerlin, and its bathrooms are sized accordingly. Half-inch tempered glass is the normal starting point rather than an upgrade, because panels frequently run toward nine or ten feet and thinner glass would flex enough to break the seal line at the top of a swing. Low-iron glass is the other specification worth insisting on at this scale: the green cast in ordinary clear glass is genuinely visible in a half-inch panel and reads badly against the pale limestone and marble common in these homes.

Yes, and that is most of what The Ridges asks for: neo-angle enclosures, full-height steam surrounds with a vented transom, curbless walk-in screens with no door, and single panels larger than anything a stock supplier carries. Every panel is cut for your opening rather than selected from a size range, so an unusual geometry is a measuring problem rather than an availability one. What oversized glass does change is the timeline and the handling. Larger panels take longer to polish and temper, and installation of a very large panel is a longer appointment.

No. The Ridges has one of the more rigorous architectural review processes in the valley, and for exterior work that reputation is deserved, but the committee's authority is over the exterior of the residence. A shower enclosure is interior and outside its remit, so there is nothing to submit and no approval to wait for. What you will need is guard-gate access arranged for the measure and the installation day, and a certificate of insurance on file if that is your association's policy for contractors, which we can send in advance.
