Southern Shower Door Common FAQs

Choosing the right shower enclosure can come with a lot of questions. Below are some of the most common questions we get about custom frameless shower doors in Fayetteville, GA and the surrounding South Metro Atlanta area.

If you don’t see your question here, please reach out to us. We’re always happy to help.

Pricing & Cost

Most custom frameless shower doors fall somewhere between $1,200 and $3,500+, depending on the size of your shower, the type of glass, and the overall design.

Since every enclosure is built specifically for your space, the best way to get accurate pricing is with an in-home measurement and quote.

A few key things can impact cost:

  • Size of the opening
  • Glass thickness (3/8” vs 1/2”)
  • Hardware style and finish
  • Layout complexity (angles, custom cuts, etc.)

We’ll walk you through your options so you can choose what makes sense for both your space and your budget.

Yes! We provide free in-home consultations where we measure your space, go over design options, and give you a clear, no-pressure quote.

Timeline & Process

Most projects take about 1 to 2 weeks from measurement to installation, depending on fabrication and scheduling.

Once your glass is ready, most installations are completed in just a few hours.

We keep it simple:

  1. Measure your space
  2. Help you choose your design and hardware
  3. Order and fabricate your custom glass
  4. Install everything with precision

You’ll be working directly with our owners throughout the process.

Design & Function

A frameless shower door is made from thick tempered glass with minimal metal hardware, creating a clean, modern look without bulky framing.

When properly designed and installed, frameless enclosures are built to direct water where it should go.

While no shower is completely watertight, we take layout, slope, and sealing into account to minimize any water escaping.

Most frameless enclosures use:

  • 3/8” glass (most common for standard applications)
  • 1/2” glass (used in certain glass-to-glass or larger designs)

We’ll recommend the right option based on your specific layout.

It depends on your space:

  • Sliding doors are great for tighter bathrooms with limited clearance
  • Hinged doors offer a wider opening and a more open, high-end feel

We’ll help you choose what works best for your layout.

Framed shower doors use thinner glass with metal framing around the edges.

Frameless shower doors use thicker glass with minimal hardware, creating a cleaner look and easier maintenance.

Maintenance & Durability

Keeping your glass clean is simple:

  • Use a squeegee regularly
  • Clean with a mild glass cleaner
  • Avoid harsh or abrasive chemicals

This helps prevent buildup and keeps your shower looking new.

Over time, mineral deposits can build up especially in areas with hard water.

Regular cleaning and optional glass treatments can help reduce spotting and make maintenance easier.

With proper installation and basic maintenance, a frameless shower enclosure can last for many years.
