Shower Glass
Elevate Your Bathroom with Professional Shower Glass Installation
Frameless, semi-frameless or framed? How professional shower glass installation transforms a bathroom — and how to choose the right enclosure for your Reno home.
Key takeaways
- Glass enclosures make bathrooms feel larger, brighter and more modern than curtains or old framed doors.
- Frameless, semi-frameless and framed designs trade off look, budget and structure.
- Shower glass must be tempered safety glass, measured after the tile is finished.
A beautifully designed bathroom can be the sanctuary you need to relax and recharge. One of the elements that does the most for both the look and the function of a bathroom is high-quality shower glass. At Legacy Glass in Reno, we build custom shower enclosures to fit your space and style. Here’s why professional installation matters, the types of shower glass available, and how to choose.
The benefits of professional shower glass installation
Enhanced look
A professionally installed glass enclosure instantly elevates a bathroom. Clear glass creates a sense of openness and luxury, makes small bathrooms feel larger, and shows off the tile work you invested in.
Added property value
Updated bathrooms are high on buyers’ lists. Contemporary features like a frameless glass enclosure can help a home stand out when it’s time to sell.
Easy maintenance and durability
Glass is far easier to keep clean than a shower curtain, and with proper care an enclosure stays clear for years. Tempered glass is built to handle daily use, and protective coatings make water spots easier to wipe away.
Made to fit
Every bathroom is different. We measure your finished opening — out-of-square walls, sloped curbs and all — and build the glass to fit precisely, in frameless, semi-frameless or framed styles.
Types of shower glass
Frameless shower glass
Frameless enclosures are the most popular choice for their clean, minimal look. With no metal framing around the edges, they create a seamless view of the shower and make the room feel open. They use thicker tempered glass anchored with hinges and clips.
Semi-frameless shower glass
If you want a balance between style and cost, semi-frameless is a great option. Minimal framing around the fixed panels gives a sleek appearance with a bit more structure than a fully frameless design.
Framed shower glass
Framed enclosures have metal framing around all of the glass panels. They’re the most economical option, very water-tight, and modern designs still look sharp — a solid choice for secondary bathrooms and rentals.
