Plan timing, lead times, trades and details for shower, remodel and commercial glass projects.
Glass is often the last thing to be installed and the first thing that can cause a delay. Because it is made to size after final measurements, it depends on tile, drywall, framing and other trades finishing first. A short planning conversation can save weeks of waiting, avoid measured wrong glass and keep your project moving.
We talk through your project schedule and work backward from the day you want the glass in. We tell you when to measure, when to order and how long fabrication and installation usually take. We explain what other trades need to finish first, and we help you avoid common problems, such as measuring before tile is complete. We write a short plan so everyone knows what happens next.
Glass should be measured after tile, walls and floors are finished. Measuring too soon risks a poor fit.
Custom glass often takes one to three weeks, and special glass or hardware can take longer. We give honest time frames.
We talk with your builder, tile setter, designer or property manager so the glass fits the schedule.
