At Precision Glass Work, most of our frameless shower installations fall between $1,500 and $2,500, depending on size and hardware choices.

🧱 Factors That Affect the Price

Every shower is unique. Here are the top factors that determine your total custom shower enclosure cost:

1. Glass Type & Thickness

   • Standard clear tempered glass is the most common.

   • Low-iron (ultra-clear) glass or frosted glass costs more but offers a premium look.

   • Typical thickness: ⅜” (10mm) or ½” (12mm) for frameless models.

2. Size & Layout
   The larger and more complex your layout, the higher the cost. Corner showers, steam enclosures, and angled designs require more precise cuts and hardware.

3. Hardware & Finishes
   Hinges, handles, and brackets are available in finishes like chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and brass — each affecting total price slightly.

4. Installation Complexity
   Wall type, tile condition, and measurement accuracy all affect labor time and cost. Our experienced installers at Precision Glass Work ensure a perfect fit every time.

5. Additional Features

   • Frosted or etched privacy glass

   • Sliding or hinged doors

   • Custom handles or towel bars

   • Protective glass coatings (for easy cleaning)
