  • When should I contact you about a new shower?

    The best time to reach out is once the tiling is complete. This allows us to ensure accurate measurements for the glass manufacturing process. However, if you're seeking budget pricing and design ideas, feel free to contact us beforehand for personalized assistance and guidance.

  • What is your normal process for a new shower?

    Our process begins with a visit to take precise measurements and determine the optimal configuration for your shower. We'll then provide you with an accurate price estimate. Upon your decision to proceed, we request a 50% deposit. Once the deposit is received, we proceed to order the custom glass. Finally, we'll contact you once your new shower glass is ready so we can schedule the installation date. If you want to get started, call Gasparilla Glass today and learn why we're one of the custom glass companies local homeowners love!

  • Can you remove my old shower and re-install it once I have remodeled my bathroom?

    Unfortunately, we're unable to reinstall your old shower due to the fine tolerances of glass manufacturing. Any changes in tiling during remodeling will alter the dimensions, rendering the existing glass unusable. If you have more questions about the installation of glass shower doors, talk to the experts at Gasparilla Glass today!

  • What is the difference between your showers and big box store showers?

    Our showers stand out for being custom-designed and manufactured to precisely fit your unique shower dimensions. We use the highest quality materials, including certified 3/8" or 1/2" thick tempered glass, ensuring durability and safety unmatched by generic options found in big box stores. Our commitment to quality products and service has made us the top choice among custom glass companies in the area.

  • Are frameless shower doors 100% watertight?

    While frameless glass shower doors offer a sleek aesthetic, they are water-resistant rather than waterproof. Fixed glass panels are sealed with high-quality, mildew-resistant silicone, negating leakage. However, direct water spray around the door area may lead to some leakage. We design our shower configurations to minimize or eliminate any potential leaks.

  • How do you care for a frameless shower door?

    To maintain a spotless shower door, we recommend squeegeeing it after each use. Additionally, due to Florida's harsh water conditions, we highly recommend opting for our Diamon-Fusion sealer to keep your glass sparkling for years to come. The more you care for your shower door, the more it will retain its value. According to Home Guide, an online home improvement resource, frameless glass shower doors add value and provide a 60% to 67% return on investment. If you have more questions about maintenance, call Gasparilla Glass today and learn why we're one of the preferred custom glass companies in the area!
