Questions

Glass questions, answered plainly.

About frameless doors, glass types, safety, cost, timing, care and repair.

Getting started

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. The Free Estimate comes with no obligation. You approve a written scope before any glass is ordered.

What areas do you serve?

Nashville and communities across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Gallatin, Spring Hill and more. See the service areas page for the full list.

Which brands do you install?

Frameless and framed shower doors, enclosures, repairs and parts, mirrors, tabletops, shelves and backsplashes, window glass, railings, glass doors, commercial storefronts and office glass, and specialty glass.

Shower doors

What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless?

Frameless doors use thick glass held by hinges and clamps with no metal frame around the panels. Semi-frameless doors use a slim frame on some edges, which hides small gaps and tolerates walls that are a little out of plumb.

How long does a custom shower door take?

After we measure, glass is cut and tempered to size, which often takes one to three weeks. Installation is usually a matter of hours, and we confirm the schedule in writing.

Can you replace my old framed door with frameless glass?

Yes. We remove the old door and frame, check the curb and walls and fit a frameless door or enclosure sized to the opening.

Will a frameless door leak?

Frameless doors have small gaps by design. Good seals, a fixed panel or return and a sloped floor keep most water inside.

Glass types and safety

What is tempered glass?

Tempered glass is heated and cooled quickly to make it stronger than plain glass. When it breaks it crumbles into small pieces instead of sharp shards, and it is used for shower doors, tabletops and many other places.

What glass thickness do I need?

Shower doors are often three-eighths or half an inch. Tabletops, shelves and railings use different thicknesses depending on span and load, and we recommend based on your project.

What is laminated glass used for?

Two layers of glass joined with a clear interlayer. It holds together when cracked, which suits railings, overhead glass and security uses.

Can chipped tempered glass be repaired?

Tempered glass cannot be cut or ground after it is made, and chips at the edge can weaken it. Replacement is the usual answer.

Cost and timeline

What drives the cost of a glass project?

Glass type and thickness, size, hardware finish, edge work, special shapes, access and any wall or curb repairs. A written estimate shows exactly where the money goes.

How do I compare glass quotes?

Ask each company for the same details: glass thickness and type, hardware finish, seals, edge work, installation and schedule. Our bid scorecard helps you compare.

Do I need a permit?

Rules vary by city, county and project, especially for railings, storefronts and structural glass. We tell you what applies and what to confirm with your local office.

Care and repair

How do I keep shower glass clear?

Squeegee after showers, wipe hardware, keep the bathroom ventilated and use a non-abrasive cleaner. A protective coating can help water bead and run off.

What should I do if my glass breaks?

Keep people and pets away, wear shoes and gloves and do not touch loose pieces. Call us for emergency repair, cleanup and board-up if needed.

Do you remove mold?

No. We replace worn seals and clean glass, and we recommend a qualified specialist for extensive mold.
