Frameless looks the cleanest but requires thicker glass and precise measurements.
Semi-frameless is a great middle ground for most San Antonio bathrooms.
We measure after the shower is installed. Never before. To make sure it fits perfectly.

3. Common Problems, Signs & Symptoms
If you're seeing any of these, it's probably time to call.
Old door is leaking water onto the floor
Failed sweeps and seals are the usual cause. Sometimes a replacement seal works; often the door itself has shifted and needs replacement.
Hardware is corroded or pulling out
Once anchors loosen in the wall, the door starts sagging and the seal fails. Time for new glass and new hardware.
Glass is permanently foggy
Hard water mineral buildup eventually etches into untreated glass. Modern protective coatings prevent this.
Curtain isn't cutting it anymore
If water is escaping past the curtain or the curtain is constantly moldy, a glass enclosure is the cleaner long-term fix.
