  • What types of shower doors are available?

    Michigan Shower Door & Mirror offers shower doors for every style and budget, from affordable framed and semi-frameless options to sleek Euro-style frameless designs. Visit our showroom to explore the area's largest selection of shower doors and compare styles in person. Framed doors feature a metal frame for added support and a tighter seal, while frameless doors use thicker glass and minimal hardware for a clean, modern look.
  • What is the difference between frameless and framed shower doors?

    The main difference is that framed shower doors use a metal frame around the glass for support and a tighter seal around the enclosure, while frameless shower doors use thicker glass and minimal hardware to create a sleek, modern, open appearance. Although both options are designed to contain water, framed doors generally provide a more watertight seal.
  • How thick is the glass for shower doors?

    Shower door glass thickness depends on the style of enclosure. Framed doors typically use 3/16-inch tempered glass, semi-frameless doors use 1/4-inch tempered glass, and Euro-style frameless shower doors feature 3/8-inch tempered glass for a premium, luxurious appearance.
  • Is tempered glass safe?

    Absolutely. Safety is our top priority, which is why we only use tempered safety glass for our shower doors. This specialized glass is significantly stronger than standard glass, and in the rare event of a break, it is engineered to crumble into small, dull pieces rather than sharp shards, drastically reducing the risk of injury.
  • Can I customize the size of my shower door?

    Yes! We specialize in custom glass solutions. According to Family Handyman Magazine, standard shower doors are generally between 22 and 36 inches wide, with an average height of around 72 inches. From uniquely shaped shower enclosures and custom angles to oversized shower doors or seamless integration with specialized waterproofing like Schluter Systems, we can fabricate it to your exact specifications. We also offer custom sizing for gym mirrors, cabinet glass, tabletops, and other specialty glass projects. Give us a call to learn more!
