Shower Doors & Glass Enclosures
Shower glass is the least forgiving glass in a house. Openings are rarely plumb, tile is rarely flat, and a door hung to the opening instead of to level is the difference between a shower that seals and one that drips for years. Every enclosure here is field-measured after tile, not quoted off a plan.

Shower Doors & Enclosures — questions
How thick should frameless shower glass be?
Frameless enclosures are normally 3/8" or 1/2" tempered glass — thinner glass is not rigid enough to carry hinge loads without a frame. Industry guidance from the National Glass Association (DG02-21) sets practical span and height limits for each thickness, and those limits, not preference, decide the thickness for your opening.
My walls are not straight. Is that a problem?
It is normal, and it is exactly why the enclosure is measured in the field rather than ordered off the bathroom drawing. Out-of-plumb walls are handled with channel, adjustable hinges or a slight glass taper depending on how far out the opening runs.
Can you replace just the door and keep my panels?
Sometimes. It depends on whether the existing hardware is still available and whether the panel edges are in good condition. Send a photo of the hinges and the channel and that question can usually be answered before anyone comes out.
