Q) What are my options for shower doors?
A)We have semi-frameless, frameless and solid brass framed doors.
 
Q) What should be considered when designing or laying out a shower door?

A)Clear glass is most common because the room appears larger and the tile is highlighted. Low iron glass products are less green and should be considered when using light (white) color schemes. See website for additional pattern glass options available at additional cost.

A)We have the largest selection of hardware available; knobs, levers, pulls, etc. See website for hardware options.

A)Polished chrome, polished brass, and brushed nickel are standard. There are slight upgrade charges for polished nickel, antique brass, brushed chrome, brushed brass and antique copper. Note: some finishes don't have matching handles. We can offer custom plating. The lead time will be extended and pricing will be higher due to the nature of the process. Currently we are plating all Kohler's finishes. Lead time is roughly 6-8 weeks.
