Shower Doors & Enclosures Calgary

From measurement to installation, the process takes 7 to 14 days total. The measurement appointment takes 30 to 45 minutes. Fabrication takes 5 to 10 business days. Installation may take 6+ hours depending on how many panels are to be installed.

Cost is driven by five things: glass thickness, the size of the opening, the number of panels, the hardware finish, and how square your walls are. A framed tub enclosure sits at the bottom of the range and a custom frameless neo-angle or steam enclosure in 1/2″ glass sits at the top. Thicker glass, low-iron or patterned glass, matte black hardware, and out-of-plumb walls all raise the price. We measure and quote free, and the written quote is the price.

Frameless looks cleaner, cleans faster, and costs more, because the glass is thicker and the fabrication tolerances are tighter. Semi-frameless costs noticeably less, handles imperfect walls better, and still reads as a modern glass enclosure. If budget is the deciding factor, semi-frameless gives you most of the look for a good deal less money.

Yes, but it takes more work. Frameless glass has almost no built-in tolerance, so out-of-plumb walls are handled with wall channels, shims behind the clamps, or glass cut on a slight angle to follow the wall. This is why we measure on site rather than quoting from a photo. On badly out-of-square walls, semi-frameless or framed usually gives the better finished result.

A sliding or bypass door. Sliders run on a top track and pass each other, so they need no swing clearance at all. If your shower or tub faces a vanity or toilet with less than 30 inches of floor space in front, a hinged or pivot door will hit it and a slider is the workable option.

Yes. All our shower glass is tempered to CSA A440 standards. Tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than standard glass and, if broken, fractures into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.

In many cases, yes. If your existing frame and hardware are in good condition, we can measure and cut new glass panels to fit. This costs significantly less than a full enclosure replacement. Full replacement is only necessary when the hardware is discontinued or the frame itself has failed.

Calgary has hard water, and on shower glass that shows up as white mineral spotting that etches into the surface if it is left. Squeegee the glass after every use, which does more than any cleaner. Ask about a protective coating at the time of fabrication as well, applied to the glass before installation, which makes the surface easier to wipe and slows the spotting. Coating already-installed glass is possible but never works as well.
