What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless shower doors?

Frameless enclosures use thicker glass (3/8" or 1/2") with minimal metal hardware visible. Semi-frameless designs use a metal channel along one or more edges for added structural support and cost less than fully frameless options.

How much does a frameless shower door cost?

Installed pricing for a frameless enclosure typically ranges from $1,800 to $4,500 depending on glass thickness, number of panels, hardware finish, and shower configuration. We quote after templating.

How long does it take to install a frameless shower door?

Plan for 3-4 weeks total. The initial measurement visit takes about an hour. Glass fabrication runs 2-3 weeks. Installation day is typically 3-5 hours depending on the enclosure complexity.

Do you install tub enclosures and tub-shower combination glass?

Yes. We install glass panels and enclosure systems for standalone tubs, tub-shower combinations, and walk-in showers. Tub enclosures typically use a fixed panel or hinged door mounted on the tub rim with watertight seals along the bottom edge.

How often do you make service trips to Brookings?

We schedule Brookings trips on a regular rotating basis and coordinate multiple jobs per visit. After your initial consultation, we will give you a clear timeline for when your project will be completed. Lead times vary by season and scope.

What window materials hold up best to salt air in Brookings?

Vinyl and fiberglass frames are the best choices for Brookings. They do not corrode in salt air the way aluminum does, and they do not rot like wood. For hardware, we specify stainless steel or marine-coated components that resist pitting and corrosion.

Do you serve Harbor, OR as well?

Yes. Harbor is immediately south of Brookings and we service it on the same trips. Properties along the lower Chetco corridor are also within our Brookings service area.

Shower & Tub Glass Enclosures — What to Expect

A well-built shower or tub enclosure transforms a bathroom. It eliminates the dingy shower curtain, prevents water from reaching the floor, and gives the space a clean, modern appearance. Frameless glass enclosures in particular have become the most requested bathroom upgrade for homeowners across the Sierra foothills and coastal communities we serve.

Colfax Glass fabricates and installs frameless, semi-frameless, and framed shower enclosures using tempered safety glass in 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch thicknesses. We source hardware from C.R. Laurence, HMI, Cardinal, and WBS, and carry finishes in chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black. Whether you need a simple inline panel for a tub surround or a full neo-angle enclosure for a corner shower, we template and cut to fit your exact dimensions.

Accurate templating is the difference between a shower door that works and one that leaks. Tile walls are rarely perfectly plumb, and shower pans are not always level. We measure at multiple points across each surface and account for any variation in the glass template. This precision means tight seals, clean gaps, and hardware that lines up correctly on the first install.

We serve homeowners across Auburn, Colfax, Roseville, Rocklin, Loomis, Sacramento, and the Grass Valley/Nevada City area. Coastal clients in Brookings and Crescent City can choose hardware with marine-rated finishes that resist corrosion from humidity and salt air. Every installation includes a silicone seal, hardware alignment check, and a water test before we leave the job.

Shower & Tub Glass Enclosures for Brookings, OR Homes

Brookings sits on the southern Oregon coast where the Chetco River meets the Pacific. The marine climate here is fundamentally different from our foothill service areas. Salt air corrodes hardware and frames, wind-driven rain tests weatherstripping and flashing, and persistent moisture creates condensation challenges that inland homes rarely face. Windows and doors in Brookings need to be selected specifically for coastal durability, not just energy performance.

Most Brookings homes are single-family residences, many built from the 1970s through 1990s with wood and aluminum-frame windows. Salt air has often degraded the original hardware and frames well beyond their expected lifespan. We recommend vinyl or fiberglass frames for replacements because they resist corrosion far better than aluminum or wood in marine environments. Hardware selection also matters: stainless steel or coated components hold up where standard hardware would pit and seize within a few years.

Colfax Glass provides cross-state service to Brookings, covering the town itself plus the nearby community of Harbor. We schedule Brookings trips on a regular basis and coordinate multiple projects per visit to serve clients efficiently. For homeowners in Brookings, having a glass contractor who understands coastal conditions and carries appropriate products is more valuable than proximity alone.

Template & Measurement
We measure the shower opening, check wall plumb and tile alignment, and create a precise template. This ensures the glass panels and hardware fit without gaps or binding.

Fabrication
Glass panels are cut, polished, and drilled to your exact template specifications. Fabrication typically takes 2-3 weeks after measurements are finalized.
4

5
Seal & Walkthrough
We verify water containment, check door swing clearance, and review cleaning and care instructions for your glass type and hardware finish.
