Warranty on All Work

A knee wall or built-in bench changes how a shower door has to be built. Off-the-shelf enclosures rarely fit these layouts, so we visit your home, take precise measurements of your walls, curb, and seating, and custom-fabricate the glass to match.

We use 3/8″ and 1/2″ tempered safety glass, five hardware finishes, and every install comes with our 3-year warranty.

  • Glass panels cut to sit above your knee wall
  • Doors and fixed panels sized to your bench and wall layout
  • Five hardware finishes: Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Brushed Gold, Brushed Bronze
  • Free same-day estimates across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia

We offer pivot, sliding and fixed panel with knee walls and benches

What we check

What we measure on site

Wall and curb height

So the glass sits at the right height above the tile and the water stays in.

Bench depth and position

So the door clears the seat and does not catch on the edge.

Wall, tile edge and floor

Out-of-plumb walls and uneven tile edges decide how the seals and panels are cut.

How it works

From site measure to sealed glass

  1. Send photos or a layout

    Call, text photos to (202) 236-1482, or use the form. You hear back within hours with questions and a price range for your layout.

  2. Measured at your home

    The owner measures on site, checks walls and floor for out-of-plumb and out-of-level, and leaves you a diagram of what will be built.

  3. Glass is made to your numbers

    Tempered glass cannot be trimmed after it is tempered, so every panel is cut to your measurements first. Install follows within 5–10 business days of the order.

  4. Installed and checked

    Most installs are one visit of a few hours. The old frame and silicone come out, the new glass and hardware go in and are sealed, the door is adjusted and tested, and the bathroom is cleaned up.

Pricing

What affects the price

We do not publish a flat price because every opening is different. The estimate is free, in writing and has no obligation. If a licensed competitor gives you a written estimate for the same scope of work, we match it.

Panels and door

A panel above the wall plus a door uses more glass than a single door.

Glass thickness

3/8″ or 1/2″.

Hardware and finish

Handle, hinges and one of five finishes.

Wall height and shape

Taller glass and unusual shapes cost more to cut and fit.

Old enclosure removal

Part of the job when there is an existing door.

  • Ann Koszuth’s Avatar Ann Koszuth ★★★★★ 6 months ago
    I am SO thrilled with my new shower! Rachid and his crew did a fantastic job. My bathroom remodel was a stressful … More project for me and my contractor did everything except shower glass. I had to find someone quick. I was nervous just going off internet reviews but my experience with Frameless Shower Systems was painless. Within 2 hours of my first call I had drawings and an estimate. Once things were ready for glass, Rachid came out the same day and measured. He answered all of my questions and explained everything. I had my glass a week later and it’s perfect! Friends and family all say it’s gorgeous. Nothing was plumb when he measured so he had to account for all of that. He also had to match the angle of the ceiling on the front of the shower (his suggestion). When it came time for installation, everything fit like a glove. Angles are perfect. And no leaks. This is a zero entry shower and the bottom seals perfectly eventhough the floor isn’t 100% level (off by a few mm). I couldn’t be happier with my new shower and highly recommend this company. Prompt, professional and beautiful work that will last a long time.

Questions

Knee wall and bench doors: your questions answered

Can you install a glass shower door on a shower with a knee wall?

Yes. We measure on site and cut the glass to fit your exact opening and wall height.

Can glass go around a built-in shower bench?

Yes. The glass is made to your bench and wall layout so it lines up with the tile.

What door types work with a knee wall?

Pivot doors, sliding doors and fixed panels, depending on how the shower is laid out.

What glass and hardware do you use?

3/8″ and 1/2″ tempered safety glass with hardware in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed gold or brushed bronze.

How long does installation take, and is the estimate free?

Install is within 5–10 business days of the order. The estimate is free, and we respond within hours.

Should the glass be ordered before the tile is finished?

No. Glass has to be measured after the tile is set, because the final tile edges and wall heights are what we cut to. Tell us your tile schedule so we can plan the visit.

What if I send photos instead of a layout?

Photos and a sketch are enough for a first price range. We confirm every dimension at the on-site measure.
