Which Shower Door Type Suits Your Bathroom?
The four types compared on the axes that actually decide it. If you are between two, the free measure settles it against your own opening.
| Door type | Glass thickness | Best for | Water control | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frameless | 3/8" or 1/2" | Openings with room for a door to swing | Good, relies on seals and pan pitch | Highest |
| Semi-frameless | 1/4" or 3/8" | Family bathrooms and tighter budgets | Best, the channel drains back to the pan | 20-30% below frameless |
| Sliding | 3/8" or 1/2" | Tubs and rooms with no clear swing arc | Strong, no threshold to cross | Mid |
| Steam | 1/2" | Sealed steam rooms, full height to ceiling | Sealed, holds vapour rather than splash | Highest, transom and seals included |

Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of shower door should I choose?
It comes down to your opening and your budget, in that order. Frameless is the cleanest look and needs a decent-sized opening and sound wall framing to hang heavy glass from. Semi-frameless gives you most of that look for twenty to thirty percent less, frames only the fixed panels, and controls water slightly better because the channel drains back into the pan. Sliding doors are the answer where a swing door has nowhere to swing, which in a compact Las Vegas bathroom is common. Steam enclosures are a separate specification entirely, running full height with a vented transom. We will tell you which your room can take at the measure rather than selling you the most expensive one that fits.
Do you fabricate the glass yourselves?
Yes, in our own shop on West Reno Avenue rather than ordering enclosures in from a distributor. That is the reason the process works the way it does. Every panel is cut to your recorded dimensions, every exposed edge is polished, hinge and handle holes are drilled, and only then is the glass tempered, because tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled or ground afterwards without shattering. Doing that in-house means the person who measured your opening is accountable for the panel that arrives, and it means the fourteen to twenty day schedule is ours to manage rather than a supplier's. It is also why an unusual configuration is a measuring problem here rather than an availability problem.
Is all your glass tempered safety glass?
Yes, without exception, and it is a code requirement rather than an upgrade we offer. Glass installed in a bathing area is a hazardous location under CPSC 16 CFR 1201 and ANSI Z97.1, which means it must be safety glazing, and in shower work that means fully tempered. Tempering heats the glass past 600 degrees Celsius and cools the surfaces rapidly, leaving the faces in compression and the core in tension. That is what makes it several times stronger than ordinary glass and what makes it break into small blunt fragments rather than shards. It is also why every dimension has to be final before the panel goes into the oven.
Do you do commercial work as well as residential?
Both, out of the same shop. Commercial covers storefront glass and entrance systems, office partitions and demountable glass walls, conference room enclosures, glass railings, display cases and custom fabrication, mostly for tenant improvement projects and for replacement after a panel has failed or been broken. We are licensed and insured for commercial installation in Clark County and can issue certificates of insurance to a property manager or general contractor before work starts. The standards are stricter on the commercial side, particularly for glass used in doors, sidelights and guards, and we specify to them rather than to what looks similar.
How do I get a quote?
Call 702.899.0456 and book a free in-home measure. It takes about thirty minutes and it produces a firm figure rather than a range, which is why we do not quote over the phone and then revise it at your door. The opening decides the price, and we have not seen it yet. At the measure we laser-measure the space, check it for plumb and square, settle which way the door should swing, and put finish samples against your actual tile under your actual bathroom lighting. Those are choices that get expensive to revisit once glass has been cut, so it is worth whoever is deciding being there.
