Custom Shower Doors Chicago
Shower Doors Built Around Your Bathroom, Not a Catalog
IMAGO Glass Inc. builds the custom shower doors Chicago homes, condos and businesses need when a standard size just will not fit. We measure your shower, make the glass to match and install a door that looks like it was always meant to be there, across the city and its suburbs.
Custom shower doors Chicago homeowners turn to when nothing else fits
Stock shower doors come in a handful of standard widths and heights. If your opening falls between them, or your shower has a knee wall or sits over a tub, an off-the-shelf door leaves gaps, leaks or an awkward look. One of our customers searched for doors that fit his space, came up empty, and had us make and install them instead. In the end, he said he would highly recommend us.
That is the whole point of the custom shower doors Chicago homeowners order from us. Bathrooms come in every shape, and each panel we make is cut to the measurements taken in your home, so the glass meets your walls and curb the way it should.
Older Chicago bathrooms with walls that are not quite square
Chicago has more than 80,000 bungalows built between 1910 and the mid-1930s, nearly a third of the city’s single-family homes, according to the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association. Add the city’s two-flats and vintage courtyard buildings, and a lot of local bathrooms have walls that have settled over the decades and are no longer perfectly straight.
A stock door makes those uneven lines obvious. Custom glass is made from measurements taken in your actual bathroom, so the panels follow your walls as they really are. For custom shower doors, Chicago’s older housing is exactly where that precision pays off, letting a century-old bathroom look as crisp as new construction.
So many style and glass choices, with real help making them
Custom does not have to mean overwhelming. You start with the door style: frameless for a clean, open look, framed for a classic feel, or sliding when there is little room in front of the shower. Then you choose the glass, from clear and low-iron to frosted, rain or tinted, plus the hardware finish that goes with it.
For custom shower doors, Chicago homeowners get to see the options in person at the free onsite estimate, where we talk through what works in your space. If you would like to compare glass types in more detail first, our guide to frameless glass shower doors explains each one.
What happens from the first visit to a finished shower
You always know what comes next. First, we come out for a free onsite estimate, look at your shower, take measurements and go over your choices. Next, your glass is made to those measurements, because tempered glass cannot be trimmed once it is finished. Finally, our installers set the panels, hang the door and check that it swings or slides smoothly and closes tight.
We have been making glass enclosures since 2002, so odd angles and tricky openings rarely catch us off guard. That experience shows in the finished work: custom shower doors Chicago homeowners notice for the clean fit, not the gaps.
Custom glass for homes and commercial bathrooms
We build custom shower doors Chicago families rely on during a remodel or when a shower has never had a proper door. We also work with commercial clients, whose bathrooms see far more traffic and need glass and hardware chosen to handle constant daily use.
Either way, the process is the same: we measure the real opening, make the glass to order and install it ourselves, so the fit is never left to chance.
Custom Shower Doors Chicago: Common Questions
Do custom shower doors cost more than standard doors?
A custom door usually costs more than a stock door off the shelf, because the glass is made for your opening alone. Your price depends on the size, the glass type and the hardware you choose. After the free onsite estimate you get a price based on your exact measurements, and we can show you affordable options next to premium ones so you can compare. A door that fits properly from day one also tends to age better than one forced into an opening it was never designed for.
How thick will the glass in my custom door be?
It depends on the style. Frameless doors need thick tempered glass because there is no frame to stiffen them, while framed doors can use thinner glass since the metal frame adds support. We recommend a thickness based on the size of your door and the hardware it hangs from, and explain the trade-offs in cost and feel during the estimate.
Which areas do you serve for custom shower doors?
We make and install custom shower doors Chicago homes and businesses can count on anywhere in the city, plus Chicagoland suburbs such as Evanston, Mount Prospect, Norridge, Wood Dale and Oak Park. Our office is at 318 West Adams Street in the Loop, open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Can you fix a custom door later if something goes wrong?
Yes. Hinges can loosen and seals wear out over the years on any door, custom or not. Our shower door repair service covers adjustments, new seals and sweeps, and replacement parts, so the door we made for you keeps working the way it did on day one.
Can I get a frosted or tinted custom door instead of clear glass?
Yes. Custom sizing and glass choice are separate decisions, so a made-to-measure door can use clear, low-iron, frosted, rain, tinted or colored glass. Privacy glass is popular in shared bathrooms and in showers that face the bathroom door. We can show you samples during the estimate so you see how each one looks in your own light.
