Seattle Shower Glass

Seattle shower glass is the last visible piece of a wet-zone build — not the first. Frameless panels, pivot doors, and tub doors only work when the curb, channel, and waterproofing underneath are already true. DuetRight measures and installs custom shower glass after the pan and membrane are proven, whether the surround is tile or microcement. DuetRight is a West Seattle residential general contractor. We renovate bathrooms across Seattle neighborhoods — 900+ projects company-wide, 4.9 from 101 Google reviews as of July 2026, license #DUETRL*770DW, one-year workmanship warranty. Two friends helping you: glass is part of the shower system, not a catalog add-on.

Glass Comes After the Wet Zone Is Built
A beautiful glass enclosure on a soft curb or a pan that pools is just a clear window into the next leak. We build the shower as a system — custom pan, continuous membrane, tile or microcement finish — then we measure for glass. That order is why custom fabrication and install show up as real line items on Seattle bathroom jobs, not as a same-day kit.
A Fixed Panel Needs a True Channel
Frameless glass looks simple. It is not forgiving. The channel has to land on a finished edge that is plumb, sealed, and part of the waterproofing — not caulk covering a gap. We set the channel after the wet zone passes its checks.
Modern bath with white subway tile, grid-glass shower, black hex floor, wood vanity, round mirror, and a built-in niche.
Doors Need Clearance, Not Wishful Swing
Pivot and hinge doors need swing clearance, a door that closes against a real seal, and hardware that belongs in a wet room. Dual-head and walk-in layouts change where the door sits; we coordinate glass with the layout page decisions, not after the tile is already wrong.
Compact bath with tub-shower and niche, slim vanity with arched mirror, gray floor, and stacked laundry beside the toilet.
Sometimes the Tub Stays — the Glass Still Has to Seal
When the tub stays, a tub door still has to meet a waterproof edge and a finish that can take water daily. Microcement or tile on the surround does not change that rule — only how the edge is detailed.

Neighborhoods, Not a Radius
Shower Glass Across Seattle Neighborhoods
We are based in West Seattle and we treat every job site as a neighborhood — parking, noise, neighbors, and how the house was actually built. Not a radius on a map. We regularly help homeowners throughout:
  • Alki
  • Admiral & North Admiral
  • The Alaska Junction
  • Fauntleroy
  • Arbor Heights
  • Gatewood
  • Morgan Junction
  • Highland Park
  • Delridge
  • Genesee Hill

We Measure Glass After the Room Is Real
Glass is the last visible piece. Measure after the room is real.
What Makes Shower Glass Easy to Get Wrong in Seattle
A channel on a soft or unfinished edge. Water finds the first unfinished edge. The membrane has to turn the corner and keep going.
Ordering glass before the wet zone is finished. Seattle houses settle. Slope is built, not assumed.
A door that fights the layout.Glass does not waterproof the shower. The system underneath does — tile or microcement over a proven membrane.
A one-day shower kit.The opening changes when the membrane and finish go on. Measure late on purpose.
How Shower Glass Fits a DuetRight Bathroom
Diagnosis of the existing assembly, in writing. We say what is behind the finish, including what we would leave alone.
Channel on a finished, true edge — after the system. Slope and connections get proven while they are still visible.
Layout first, door swing second.Dual heads, niches, and benches steal clearance. Layout first, glass second. Treating glass as a leak repair is the other mistake — start with shower leak diagnosis if the wall is already stained.
Rebuilt by the people who found it. A one-day shower kit over an unknown substrate. Fast installs skip the system. We open what we have to open, then we build.

What Seattle Shower Glass Work Can Include

The right glass depends on the finished opening you have — not a catalog size. We measure after the wet zone is built, and we explain any change before extra work moves.

Frameless Fixed Panel

Channel, panel, and seals matched to a finished curb or curbless edge — after the membrane is proven.

Pivot or Hinge Door

Door, hardware, strike, and clearance for the walk-in or dual-head layout you chose.

Tub Door When the Tub Stays

When the tub stays, the door still has to meet a waterproof edge and a surround that can take water daily.

Return Panels Where the Room Forces It

Only when the footprint needs it — we do not invent geometry for a catalog photo.

Tile or Microcement Surround Coordination

Same wet-zone rules either finish. Glass comes last, after tile or microcement.

Wet-Room Hardware and Seals

Hardware and seals suited to daily Seattle showers — wet-room hardware, not interior door leftovers.

..if it's in your bathroom, we can do it!

Glass on a System, Not Glass Instead of a System

Stopping water is still the job. Glass is the clear wall that lets you see we did it — not a substitute for a pan and membrane.

Waterproofing Before Glass

Custom pan, continuous membrane, flood test where the scope calls for it — then glass.

Layout Before Door Swing

Dual heads, niches, and benches steal clearance. Layout first, glass second.

Finish Choice — Tile or Microcement

Grout-free microcement or tile surround — either way the edge under the channel has to be true and waterproof.

"Solved the Issue"

"DuetRight helped us to re-tile our shower after we discovered a rotten backboard causing the previous tiles to fall off. The team efficiently solved the issue, leaving us with a beautifully tiled, durable shower."

FAQs

Call Us
Can you install glass on an existing shower?
Sometimes — if the curb, pan, and waterproofing are sound. If they are not, glass will not fix the leak. We say which case you are in after a walkthrough.
How is this different from repairing a shower leak?

Glass does not waterproof the shower. If you already have a stain or soft wall, start with shower leak diagnosis. If you are renovating and the wet zone is being built correctly, this page is how custom shower glass fits after tile or microcement.

Frameless or framed?

Finish-only work often does not; changing plumbing, structure, or a shower configuration often does. We tell you which one you have before you commit, and we file through SDCI and Public Health–Seattle & King County when a permit applies. Budget $500–$1,500 for permit costs when they do. See the Seattle bathroom permit guide.

Does microcement change the glass?

The glass still needs a true edge and a waterproof system underneath. Microcement changes the surround finish, not the rule that glass comes last. Price follows the opening you have — walk the cost explorer, then start for a quote.
