Cost for Frameless Glass Shower Door

8 years ago

I have a quote of $1900 to furnish and install a 3/8" glass shower door, roughly 28 X 72, with two brushed nickel hinges and a U-shaped handle.

Actually, the quote is for 76" height, but that seems too tall to me. The shower is very small, 32 X 34. They also say the glass is "dimonate finish", whatever that is.

I think this is too expensive, even for Maui.

I'm in a high cost area of CA and last year I paid $1,200 for 36 x 70, 3/8 starphire glass. Your price might not be that out of line for the very expensive Maui market. Can you get a bid from another shop?

Ours was 3K, included all parts, glass, labor. The shower is a modified square shape a square with a slice off of one of the corners. Of course, that's where the door is. He really struggled with getting it all to line up. Mostly because the standard door wasn't the same size as the opening for it and there is an additional trim piece of glass beside the door. Looks great in the end, fainted at the price. Good to see that others are familiar with these kind of numbers. He did everything, measure, fabricate, deliver, install. They were very tall pieces of 3/8" tempered glass. It was no picnic for him!

"Frameless" shower doors are a highly unregulated product. By code shower doors only need to have 3 things to meet code. Be safety glass, door has clear opening of 22" and that the door open out allowing a 22" clear opening. A lot of contractors do what ever the customer wants regardless if it is safe or not and still meet code. The International Code Council had been trying to improve the way these doors are installed. The link below is a list of items experts believe will help standardize the industry and make it safer for the owner of these doors. Gluing the glass in is not safe. Here is a link that might be useful: ICC Shower Code

Clear glass and coating on tub/shower frame-less doors?
Q
Comments (6)
I would do regular clear instead of the low iron glass (less greenish). The price isn't worth it and the only time you can tell the difference is when your looking at the edge of the glass. As far as the coating, it's amazing against hard water. You won't have to squeegee every day. Hope that helps, I work at a glass company.

Thanks everyone for your comments and help. I took your advice and found another company. The doors will cost $1500. The quality is excellent and the company’s references, from several interior designers, were impecable. I can hardly wait the three weeks for them to be installed!! Photos to follow!

I am also paying about $1300 for a similar door and I'm located in the Midwest. I think your price is probably close for your cost of living.

I'm going through Lowes and it is about $700 for a similar size. It is not the starphire, probably lower end product plus I'm in a much lower cost area than you are.

Update from my last post--now Lowes tells me it will be $1400 for this similar size of door. The previous price was for a stock door, not a custom-sized door.
