Before You Choose Glass
The right frameless quote starts with the bathroom conditions.
Some buyers need a clean Manhattan apartment install, others need a Queens or Brooklyn layout decision, and others are comparing repair, replacement, and full custom frameless glass. These are the details that separate a useful quote from a generic price range and help you avoid choosing the wrong page for the job.
New install, replacement, or repair?
A finished renovation, an older framed enclosure, and a leaking or dragging door are different jobs. Start with the right path so the quote conversation does not waste time.
Apartment or house?
A Manhattan co-op, Brooklyn brownstone, Queens two-family home, and newer condo can all need different access planning, hardware choices, and field-measure expectations.
Finished tile or still planning?
Finished tile calls for a final field measure before glass fabrication. If the bathroom is still under construction, we can still help plan swing, fixed-panel, or sliding options early.
Door, panel, slider, or open entry?
The best layout depends on opening width, curb slope, vanity clearance, toilet position, and how much splash control the bathroom needs.
Building coordination needed?
If the building needs COI paperwork, freight scheduling, protection rules, or weekday work windows, it is better to flag that before the quote is finalized.

Need a new install?
Start here when the bathroom is tiled, measured, and ready for a custom glass installation.
Replacing an old door?
Use this path for old framed doors, leaking enclosures, cracked glass, or a frameless upgrade.
Repair first?
Use this path for leaks, sweeps, loose hinges, dragging glass, or repair-versus-replace decisions.
What We Install
Every configuration, any bathroom.
Single Swing Door
A clean single-door layout. Swing direction, hinge choice, and clearances need a review of the actual opening.
Door + Fixed Panel
Ideal for wider openings. One swinging door plus a stationary glass panel, connected with a glass-to-glass hinge or U-channel.
Sliding Bypass Doors
Two panels on a track — one slides behind the other. Perfect for tub-shower combos where swing clearance is limited.
Neo-Angle Enclosures
Three glass panels forming a corner entry. Fits non-standard or angled shower bases common in older NYC buildings.
90° Corner Enclosures
Two glass walls meeting at a right angle with a door panel. A true luxury look for built-in shower niches.
Walk-In / Open Entry
A single fixed panel with no door — the "wet room" look. Increasingly popular in high-end NYC bathroom renovations.
Materials
Glass thickness & hardware finishes.
Glass Options
3/8″ (10mm) Tempered Glass
StandardThe industry standard for residential frameless doors. Strong, safe, and cost-effective. Works well for single-door and door-plus-panel configurations in most NYC bathrooms.
1/2″ (12mm) Tempered Glass
PremiumThicker, heavier, and more substantial. Best for large panels, full enclosures, and luxury renovations where you want maximum weight and presence. Requires heavier-duty hardware.
Glass types: Clear, ultra-clear (low-iron), frosted, rain, and acid-etched. All tempered safety glass that meets ANSI Z97.1 standards.
Hardware Finishes
All hardware is commercial-grade with corrosion-resistant coatings. Hinges, clamps, handles, and towel bars are available in matching finishes for a unified look.
NYC Building Ready
Co-op & condo install realities.
NYC apartment projects can add building management, documentation, elevator, protection, and work-hour requirements. Confirm those details before fabrication or scheduling.
Insurance Documentation
Ask management for its exact certificate holder and additional insured wording, then send those requirements before scheduling. Management makes the final acceptance decision.
Elevator & Freight Coordination
Confirm whether large glass panels require freight elevator access and who must reserve the elevator before an installation date is set.
Work Hours & Protection Rules
Send the building’s approved work hours, hallway or elevator protection rules, and any notice requirements so they can be included in the installation plan.
Doorman & Access Protocols
Confirm check-in, identification, service-entry, parking, and access instructions before installation day.
Our Process
Measure → fabricate → install.
Project Review & Field Measure
Initial ReviewWe review photos and rough dimensions first. If a field measure is needed, we confirm that visit and discuss the enclosure layout, glass, hardware, access, and building requirements.
Custom Fabrication
Confirmed After MeasureFabrication timing depends on the final field measurements, glass, hardware, supplier availability, and project conditions. The current schedule is confirmed before approval.
Installation & Cure Guidance
Project-SpecificInstallation duration depends on the enclosure, access, removal work, and building rules. After sealing, follow the exact cure and shower-use instructions provided for the product used.
Expert Installation
How we prevent leaks.
The most common complaint about frameless shower doors is leaking — and it's almost always caused by poor measurement or improper installation, not the glass itself. Here's how we eliminate the problem:
Precision templating to 1/16″
We don't guess measurements or use "standard" sizes. Every panel is measured with precision tools against your actual tile and walls — accounting for out-of-plumb walls (extremely common in NYC pre-war buildings).
Professional-grade silicone sealing
All glass-to-wall and glass-to-tile joints are sealed with clear, mold-resistant silicone. This creates a watertight barrier without visible bulky gaskets.
Proper glass-to-glass seals
Where panels meet, we use clear vinyl sweeps and drip rails along the bottom edge to redirect water inward, not onto your floor.
Slope and drain alignment
We check that your shower floor slopes correctly toward the drain before installing. If we spot a slope issue, we let you know before proceeding.
Pricing
Transparent pricing, no surprises.
Every shower is different, so we quote based on your exact measurements and preferences. Here are the main factors that affect your price:
Glass Thickness
1/2″ glass costs more than 3/8″ — both in material and hardware (heavier glass needs sturdier hinges).
Number of Panels
A single door is less than a full 3-panel enclosure. More glass = more material and labor.
Configuration
Simple swing doors cost less than neo-angle or 90° corner enclosures that require multiple glass-to-glass connections.
Hardware Finish
Chrome and brushed nickel are standard-priced. Matte black, satin brass, and specialty finishes have a modest upcharge.
Glass Type
Clear glass is standard. Low-iron (ultra-clear), frosted, rain-textured, and acid-etched options add to the cost.
Building Access
Walk-up apartments in most of NYC don't add cost. Very high-floor co-ops or buildings with limited freight access may add a small logistics fee.
Typical range: $800 – $3,000+
Based on configuration, glass, and hardware. Most NYC apartments fall in the $1,200–$2,000 range.

Frequently asked questions.
How much do frameless shower doors cost in NYC?+
Published planning ranges start around $800–$1,600+ for a single swing door, $1,400–$2,600+ for a door with a fixed panel, $1,600–$3,000+ for sliding bypass doors, and $2,200–$4,500+ for corner or neo-angle enclosures. Final pricing depends on field measurements, glass, hardware, and installation conditions.
How long does the whole process take from measurement to install?+
The schedule is confirmed after final field measurements. Glass and hardware selection, supplier availability, building access, removal work, and the sealant used can all affect timing. Ask for the current fabrication window, installation plan, and cure instructions before booking.
Can you install frameless shower doors in NYC co-ops and condos?+
Co-op and condo requirements vary. Send management’s insurance wording, elevator or entry rules, work hours, and protection requirements before scheduling so the required documentation and logistics can be confirmed for your project.
Do frameless shower doors leak?+
Frameless shower doors are designed to contain normal shower spray, but they are not watertight tanks. Door clearances, showerhead direction, curb slope, seals, and the enclosure layout all affect water containment. If water escapes, send photos of the door, curb, and the area that gets wet so we can assess whether a seal, adjustment, or a different layout is needed.
What glass thickness should I choose — 3/8″ or 1/2″?+
3/8″ (10mm) and 1/2″ (12mm) tempered glass are possible options for some frameless layouts. Panel size, weight, hardware rating, support, and applicable requirements determine the suitable specification for a particular opening.
What hardware finishes do you offer?+
Finish options can include chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, satin brass, polished brass, and oil-rubbed bronze. Match the selected hardware to the bathroom fixtures and confirm current supplier availability.
Which areas in NYC do you serve?+
All five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. We also serve parts of Long Island and Northern New Jersey.
What building documents should I confirm before scheduling?+
Ask MetroGlass Pro to confirm current insurance documentation for your project, then send your building’s exact certificate holder and additional insured wording. Building management determines whether submitted documents are accepted.
