Shower Door Services in Denver, Colorado

Frameless shower doors use thick, tempered glass and minimal hardware, giving a sleek, modern look. Semi-frameless options combine some structural framing with cleaner glass lines, balancing affordability and style. Framed doors are more budget-friendly, using thinner glass and full metal support. Each has pros and cons depending on your bathroom design, budget, and maintenance preferences. At Tried & True Glass, we help you choose the right option based on your aesthetic goals, space layout, and lifestyle needs.

A common misconception is that frameless doors leak easily. Properly installed frameless doors are designed with seals, angled thresholds, and precise fitting to minimize leaks. However, they don’t create a watertight seal like framed doors, so correct installation and user behavior (like keeping shower heads angled inward) are essential. We assess your bathroom layout and make adjustments to prevent leaks, using high-quality materials that reduce common water escape issues.

The timeline for custom shower door installation generally includes 1–2 days for measurement, 7–10 days for fabrication, and 1 day for installation. Tried & True Glass ensures measurements are precise for a seamless fit, especially important for frameless doors. Installation typically takes just a few hours, but we schedule carefully to ensure cleanliness and minimal disruption. We’ll also advise on when the door can be used post-installation (typically 24 hours for silicone curing).

Yes, custom shower doors from Tried & True Glass are made from tempered safety glass, which is four to five times stronger than regular glass. If it ever breaks (extremely rare), it shatters into small, rounded pieces rather than sharp shards. We also use quality hardware and follow strict installation practices to ensure your door is securely mounted and operates safely for years.

Yes—custom doors offer a precise fit, better design flexibility, and higher-quality materials. Prefabricated units often have gaps, limited sizing, and cheaper hardware that wears down faster. With Tried & True Glass, your custom shower door is tailored to your exact measurements and style preferences, providing a better seal, smoother operation, and a longer lifespan—making it a smarter long-term investment.

Yes, updated bathrooms with frameless glass enclosures are a popular upgrade for buyers. They signal modern design, cleanliness, and luxury. Frameless doors especially appeal to higher-end markets in Denver, helping your property stand out. It’s a relatively small investment compared to a full remodel but can significantly boost resale appeal.

Yes, while clear glass is popular for showcasing tile work and creating open space, we also offer frosted, patterned, or textured glass for added privacy. These options can help diffuse light and obscure visibility while still allowing a stylish, custom look. Many homeowners choose frosted panels for shared bathrooms or master suites.

Frameless doors require solid wall support—usually tile or stone—and properly sloped curbs to prevent leaks. Our team evaluates your bathroom’s layout, material stability, and drainage to ensure it’s suitable. If modifications are needed, such as reinforcing walls or correcting slope, we’ll advise on the best solutions before fabrication begins.

Sliding doors are ideal for smaller bathrooms with limited space since they don’t require clearance to open. Swinging (hinged) doors create a more open feel and are easier to clean, with fewer overlapping parts. Tried & True Glass helps determine the best solution based on your room layout, door opening, and preferences for function, ease of use, and design aesthetics.

Most standard shower door installations do not require a permit, but if your project is part of a larger bathroom remodel or involves structural changes, one may be necessary. Tried & True Glass stays current with local Denver codes and can guide you through any permitting questions or requirements to ensure compliance and peace of mind.
