Shower Doors Glass

Glass shower doors have come a long way since the 50's and 60's as far as how they are made and how they look. Today's glass shower doors are made with tempered glass. What is tempered glass

Tempered glass means that the glass has been manufactures with a "heat treatment" which happens when the glass is removed from the furnace. The main reason why it is tempered is because it dramatically increases the overall strength. For example, Tempered glass is four times stronger than regular glass and can resist temperature differences up to 300 degrees without cracking.

This makes the glass door in your shower more safe as it eliminates the risk of cracking or shattering which could cause serious harm. Make sure when you are selecting a glass shower door that you only look at doors with tempered glass.

The average cost for just a glass door depends on the type of style you want. If you want just a basic see through glass door and nothing else you can expect to pay from $80-$150. If you want a fancier door you can expect to pay $150-$500.

Most glass showers just don't have glass on the door, they have glass panels to act as walls for the shower. A complete glass shower door set can cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000 again depending on your taste and style. Fogged glass doors are usually more expensive than regular see through doors, but once again its about the look and style you are going for.
