Are you thinking about or are about to have custom shower doors installed? Before you do, you may have some questions you’ve been wondering about. CFG Shower Doors and Closets have been doing installations for years and want to answer some of the more common questions. These are more general questions, so if you have any detailed questions, feel free to reach out to our expert team of installation professionals.
Below, you’ll find seven of the most common questions we’ve been asked about custom shower doors being installed.
The first and most important question we see is simply “what type of door should I have installed?”. While we would love to provide you with a straightforward answer, this is entirely up to you and what type of preferences you have. Custom shower doors are all unique in their own way and are created with your ideas in mind. If you need help trying to decide what to go with, our team can help guide you in the right direction. Some of the most common types of doors include sliding doors, pivot doors, framed doors, frameless doors, and bi-fold doors.
Once you’ve figured out what type of door you want, now you need to see if you have the correct amount of space for the installation. This can be done in two different ways. You can send us the dimensions of your bathroom or we can send one of our professional team members out to get the measurements.
What we mean by “shower area” is whether or not the shower doors encompass just the shower or both the shower and the bathtub. If it is both, we recommend going with a sliding door as it provides a more elegant and luxurious look and feels. If it is only the shower area, a pivot door should fit nicely.
When designing your custom shower doors, it’s important to think of the features they will include. What we mean by features is the quality and type of glass the doors will be made of. Our team can help guide you through this process as it can be confusing when trying to think of all the different combinations.
Once all the planning and designing of the custom shower doors are done, next comes budgeting. Pricing isn’t easy to give an answer to as each combination and build is different from each other. Every company should provide you with a free quote of exactly how much it should be.
Installation time on custom shower doors can vary depending on what type of door you go with as well as the size of it as well. They shouldn’t take more than a day or two.
