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.

Do you serve Dutch Flat and Gold Run from your Colfax shop?

Yes. Dutch Flat, Gold Run, and Alta are all within a short drive of our headquarters. We regularly complete projects in these communities and can usually schedule them the same week.

How quickly can I get a quote for a Colfax project?

For Colfax residents, we can often do a site visit and provide a written quote within one to two business days. Urgent requests like broken glass may be handled the same day.

My Colfax home was built in the 1940s. Can you work with non-standard window sizes?

Absolutely. Many older Colfax homes have window openings that do not match modern standard sizes. We measure on site and order custom-sized units, or we can modify the opening for a retrofit installation.

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 Colfax, CA Homes

Colfax sits at roughly 2,400 feet along the I-80 corridor, where the Sacramento Valley transitions into the Sierra foothills. The town's housing stock reflects its railroad heritage: older wood-frame homes from the early 1900s sit alongside newer construction from the 1990s and 2000s. Many of these older homes still have original single-pane windows that leak air and struggle against foothill temperature swings. Our shop at 226 N Auburn St means Colfax residents get the fastest turnaround of any area we serve.

Winter temperatures in Colfax regularly dip below freezing, and summer highs push into the upper 90s. That range puts serious demand on windows and doors. We recommend dual-pane, Low-E glass for most Colfax homes to reduce heat gain in summer and retain warmth in winter. For homes on the north side of the canyon or in shaded lots, condensation resistance is an important factor in product selection.

Because we are headquartered here, we know the local building styles inside out. We handle everything from single-window replacements in downtown bungalows to full-house upgrades in the newer subdivisions off Grass Valley Street. We also serve nearby communities including Alta, Gold Run, and Dutch Flat from this home base.
