Pricing Guide
How Much Does a Frameless Shower Door Cost?
Honest price ranges for custom frameless glass installations in Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties — so you can plan your project with confidence.
Frameless shower doors are one of the most impactful upgrades in a bathroom renovation — and one of the most variable in price. The cost depends on the size of your opening, the glass thickness you choose, the hardware finish, and the complexity of the configuration. This guide gives you real price ranges based on the types of projects we install throughout South Florida, so you can budget accurately before you call.
Price Ranges by Configuration
These ranges reflect installed prices in Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties. Actual pricing depends on your specific dimensions, glass selection, and hardware choices.
Single Hinged Door
One door panel, hinged to a wall or fixed panel. The most common configuration for a standard shower opening.
Price varies with door width, glass thickness (3/8" vs 1/2"), and hardware finish. Wider doors and heavier glass cost more.
Door + Fixed Panel
One hinged door plus one or more fixed glass panels. Common for larger openings or walk-in configurations.
Panel count and total glass square footage drive the price. Low-iron glass adds approximately 15–20% to glass cost.
Corner Enclosure (Two Doors)
Two hinged doors meeting at a corner, with fixed panels on each side. Requires precise field measurement and alignment.
Corner configurations require more hardware and precise measurement. Out-of-square walls may require custom cuts.
Sliding Bypass Enclosure
Two panels that slide past each other on a track. Common for tub-to-shower conversions and wider openings.
Track and roller hardware is more complex than hinged configurations. Frameless sliding systems use heavier glass.
Steam Enclosure
Fully sealed enclosure designed to retain steam. Requires a door sweep, transom panel, and precise sealing.
Steam enclosures require additional sealing components and typically use 1/2" glass throughout. Ceiling panels add cost.
Custom / Angled Configuration
Non-standard shapes, angled ceilings, curved walls, or multi-panel custom designs.
Custom configurations are priced individually after field measurement. Use our Design Studio for an estimate range.

Glass Thickness: 3/8" vs 1/2"
Glass thickness is one of the most common questions we get — and one of the most meaningful choices you'll make. Here's what the difference actually means for your project.
The most common choice for residential frameless shower doors. Solid, durable, and appropriate for most standard configurations. Lighter weight makes it easier to operate on larger doors.
Heavier, more substantial feel. Preferred for larger panels, steam enclosures, and high-end renovations where the weight and presence of the glass is part of the design intent.
Glass Type Options
Clear Tempered Glass
Base priceStandard clear glass with a slight green tint visible at the edges. The most common and most affordable option.
Low-Iron (Starphire) Glass
Adds approximately 15–25% to glass costUltra-clear glass with no green tint. Noticeably cleaner and brighter appearance, especially in larger panels. Preferred for white tile and light-colored bathrooms.
Frosted / Acid-Etched Glass
Adds approximately 10–20% to glass costTranslucent glass that provides privacy while still allowing light through. Available in full-panel or partial-panel configurations.
Patterned / Textured Glass
Varies by pattern; typically adds 15–30% to glass costDecorative glass with a pattern or texture. Provides privacy and a distinctive aesthetic. Available in several patterns.
Hardware Finish Pricing
Hardware finish is a style choice, but it also affects cost. Here's a general guide to what each finish tier adds to your project.
Chrome
StandardClassic, bright finish. Durable and easy to clean. The most common choice for traditional and transitional bathrooms.
Base price
Brushed Nickel
StandardWarm, matte silver finish. Hides water spots better than chrome. Works well with most bathroom styles.
Base price to slight premium
Matte Black
PremiumBold, contemporary finish. Pairs well with white tile, marble, and modern fixtures. Very popular in current renovations.
Adds approximately 10–20% to hardware cost
Brushed Gold / Champagne Bronze
PremiumWarm metallic finish. Works well with warm-toned tile and fixtures. A high-end look for luxury renovations.
Adds approximately 15–25% to hardware cost
Oil-Rubbed Bronze
PremiumDark, antique-style finish. Works well with traditional and transitional bathrooms with warm tones.
Adds approximately 10–20% to hardware cost
What Affects the Final Price
Opening size
Larger openings require more glass. Glass is priced by the square foot, so a wider or taller opening directly increases cost.
Number of panels
Each additional fixed panel adds glass area and hardware. A door + two panels costs more than a door + one panel.
Wall condition
Out-of-square walls, angled ceilings, or unusual tile work may require custom cuts or additional installation time.
Hardware quantity
Hinges, handles, towel bars, and clips are priced individually. More hardware points mean higher hardware cost.
Access and logistics
Upper-floor installations, tight access, or complex job sites may affect installation time and cost.
Removal of existing enclosure
If we're replacing an existing framed or frameless enclosure, removal is typically included in the estimate.
