Installing Frameless Glass Shower Doors

When homeowners decide to upgrade their bathrooms with frameless glass shower doors, one of the most frequent questions is, “How long will it take to install them?” The answer depends on a number of different factors.

Every installation is a little bit different. Yet they all are essentially the same. The biggest factor in determining how long it will and how involved it will be to put in your new frameless glass shower doors is what type of bathtub/shower configuration you currently have now.

Demolition First

The reality is installing frameless glass shower doors isn’t a big deal. Once the space is cleared, putting your new shower in is relatively fast and simple. The challenge is the demolition.

Bathrooms in homes that were built decades ago that have old-fashioned bathtubs typically take a little longer to remove than those in newer homes. For one thing, they often are anchored more securely. For another, after years of heavy use, there may be more damage beneath the floorboard and behind the walls than with newer homes.

Removing the old tub and cleaning/repairing the support structure below and behind so that it is secure enough to support your new frameless glass shower door can take some time, depending on what we find once we take the tub and shower out.

Simple Installation

Once the area has been prepped, putting in your new frameless glass shower is relatively straightforward. All we need to do is hook up the plumbing and sewer line, secure your new shower configuration in place, and seal it all so that it’s water-tight, and you are ready to go. In many instances, we don’t even need to change out the plumbing fixtures if they already work and are in the right place.

Rest assured that whatever shower/bath configuration you have right now and no matter how old it is, it can be replaced and improved with a frameless glass shower door system by TemperGlass.
