Frameless Shower Door Installation in Calhoun, GA
A frameless shower door is heavy tempered glass held by hinges and clips instead of a metal frame. You see more of your tile, there are fewer tracks to clean, and the bathroom feels larger. Triple S Shower Doors designs, measures, and installs custom frameless shower doors and enclosures for homes in Calhoun, Dalton, Chattanooga, and across North Georgia and Southeast Tennessee. Call (770) 608-2140 or send photos of your shower to request a free estimate.
Frameless shower layouts we install
- Single door: one hinged glass door for a standard alcove or tiled opening.
- Door and fixed panel: a door hinged to a stationary glass panel, common for wider openings.
- Door, panel, and return (90-degree corner): glass on two sides for a corner shower.
- Neo-angle: three-sided glass for an angled corner shower.
- Fixed glass panel or splash wall: a walk-in or doorless design, or a panel beside a tub.
- Steam and full-height enclosures: glass that runs to the ceiling, including sloped or angled ceilings. Ask us about the details your shower needs.
Glass and hardware choices
Frameless doors are typically made from 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered safety glass. Thicker glass feels more solid but is heavier, so the hinges and wall support have to be planned for it. Clear glass is the most popular choice; low-iron glass removes the slight green tint you can see on the edges of standard glass, and protective glass coatings can make hard-water spots easier to clean. Hardware finishes include polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and brushed gold. We will walk you through the options that suit your opening and budget.
Frameless, semi-frameless, or framed?
Frameless glass gives the cleanest look and is the usual choice for a remodel or new custom home. A framed shower door costs less and works well on tubs and standard alcoves. Semi-frameless sits in between, using thinner glass with a partial frame. If you are not sure which fits your bathroom, send photos and we can talk through it.
How a frameless installation works
- Photos and a free estimate. Send photos of the full shower and tell us the style you like. We can give you a starting point from the photos.
- On-site measurement. Frameless glass is cut to the exact opening, so we measure after the tile, curb, and wall finishes are complete. Out-of-square walls and sloped curbs are accounted for at this step.
- Custom fabrication. Your glass is ordered to size with the hinge and handle positions you chose.
- Installation. We set the glass, adjust the door swing, and add seals and sweeps to help keep water inside the shower.
Building or remodeling? Plan the glass early
If you are working with a builder or tile installer, talk to us before the tile goes up. Hinges need solid support behind the wall, and the curb should slope slightly toward the drain. Builders and remodelers in North Georgia regularly call us for custom shower glass on new homes. Planning these details early avoids changes later.
Frameless shower door questions
How much does a frameless shower door cost?
The price depends on the size of the opening, the number of glass panels, the glass thickness, coatings, and the hardware finish. A single door costs less than a door, panel, and return. Send photos and approximate measurements and we can give you an estimate, with a final quote after we measure.
Do frameless shower doors leak?
Frameless doors use small gaps around the glass so the door can swing, and clear seals and a bottom sweep help control water. Shower head position and curb slope matter too. We plan the layout so water stays where it belongs.
Can you replace my old sliding or framed door with frameless glass?
Often, yes. We remove the old door and track, check the opening, and measure for new glass. The tile around the old frame may need touch-up once it is removed, and we will tell you what to expect before the work starts.
How long does it take?
Because frameless glass is cut to order, there is a wait between measuring and installation. Installation itself is usually completed in one visit. Ask about current lead times when you request an estimate.
Does a frameless door need special care?
Squeegee the glass after showering and wipe the hardware now and then. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If a door begins to sag, drag, or leak, see our frameless shower door repair page.
