A shower door can look perfect in a catalog and still be wrong for your bathroom. Open it, and suddenly the handle is inches from the vanity. Or the door blocks the only comfortable place to stand.
At Glass Factory, we plan custom glass inwood projects around those everyday movements. Before we settle on an enclosure, we want to know what surrounds it.
On-site measurement, custom fabrication and coordinated installation
Frameless Shower Doors in Inwood
First, imagine stepping out of the shower with the door fully open. Where are your feet going? Is there a toilet beside the opening, a towel bar behind it, or a sink that’s closer than it looks in photographs?
For frameless shower doors in Inwood, we’ll review door swing, fixture clearance, and the entrance width. A hinged door may work beautifully. In a tighter layout, sliding glass might make more sense. Fixed shower panels avoid a moving door, but require thought about entry space and where water might splash.
We’ll also look at the curb and finished tile. A handsome enclosure that makes getting out awkward isn’t a successful design.

What we install in Inwood homes
Frameless Shower Enclosures
Fixed panels, hinged doors and sliding enclosures cut to the actual opening.
The bathroom may need more than a door. We also make custom mirrors sized around vanity lighting, glass shelves for difficult niches, and partitions for interior spaces.
If you’re ordering a mirror and shower glass together, tell us. We can discuss their edges and hardware finishes in the same conversation.
Glass Options and Finishes for Your Inwood Project
Clear glass leaves the tile fully visible. Low-iron glass reduces the greenish cast, particularly around exposed edges. Frosted or textured glass offers privacy, at the expense of an uninterrupted view.
Then come the hinges and handles. A finish should sit comfortably beside existing fixtures, but it also has to function. Even the handle’s position changes how easily someone enters the shower.
Relevant Glass Installation Projects
Look through our portfolio for shower layouts and mirror details. A picture helps us understand what you like. It doesn’t tell us whether the same arrangement fits your opening; that’s what the measurements are for.
On-Site Measurement and Installation in Inwood
Before fabrication, we check finished dimensions, wall alignment, and appropriate fixing points. We also ask if the curb and nearby flooring are complete; unfinished surfaces can change measurements. Drawings and rough measurements are useful for estimating, but the installed glass must fit the actual space.
Some properties require delivery reservations, insurance paperwork, or specific work hours. Let us know if yours does. We can factor those requirements into the installation plan without assuming every Inwood building operates the same way.

Send your project address, photos of the full shower opening, and approximate width and height. Show us the fixtures beside it, too. We’ll review the layout and identify what must be verified on site.

FAQ
FAQs
We check clearance around fixtures, access into the shower, and suitable hinge placement. Door movement must work in the real bathroom, not only on the drawing.
Panel dimensions, glass type, hardware, custom angles, and installation conditions all influence the quote.
Show the opening and nearby fixtures, with approximate height and width. We’ll confirm final dimensions before making the glass.
Once the scope, measurements, and site conditions are confirmed, we coordinate fabrication and installation around access requirements.
