Shower & Tub Glass Enclosures — What to Expect
A well-built shower or tub enclosure transforms a bathroom. It eliminates the dingy shower curtain, prevents water from reaching the floor, and gives the space a clean, modern appearance. Frameless glass enclosures in particular have become the most requested bathroom upgrade for homeowners across the Sierra foothills and coastal communities we serve.
Colfax Glass fabricates and installs frameless, semi-frameless, and framed shower enclosures using tempered safety glass in 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch thicknesses. We source hardware from C.R. Laurence, HMI, Cardinal, and WBS, and carry finishes in chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black. Whether you need a simple inline panel for a tub surround or a full neo-angle enclosure for a corner shower, we template and cut to fit your exact dimensions.
Accurate templating is the difference between a shower door that works and one that leaks. Tile walls are rarely perfectly plumb, and shower pans are not always level. We measure at multiple points across each surface and account for any variation in the glass template. This precision means tight seals, clean gaps, and hardware that lines up correctly on the first install.
We serve homeowners across Auburn, Colfax, Roseville, Rocklin, Loomis, Sacramento, and the Grass Valley/Nevada City area. Coastal clients in Brookings and Crescent City can choose hardware with marine-rated finishes that resist corrosion from humidity and salt air. Every installation includes a silicone seal, hardware alignment check, and a water test before we leave the job.
Shower & Tub Glass Enclosures for Auburn, CA Homes
Auburn is the Placer County seat and sits at about 1,200 feet elevation where Highway 49 meets I-80. The city has a wide range of housing: historic structures in Old Town Auburn, mid-century ranch homes throughout the central neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions climbing the hillsides east of town. Each of these building types presents different glass and window challenges. Old Town buildings often have original wood-frame windows with irregular dimensions, while tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s typically need aluminum-frame replacements upgraded to vinyl or fiberglass.
Auburn's climate is moderate compared to higher foothill towns, but summer temperatures still exceed 100 degrees on the hottest days. Solar heat gain is a real concern, especially for west-facing windows on homes without mature tree cover. We specify Low-E coatings and argon-filled units as standard for Auburn projects. For homes in the tree-heavy ravine areas near the confluence, moisture management and proper window flashing matter more than in the drier ridge neighborhoods.
Colfax Glass is about 25 minutes from most Auburn addresses. We serve the full Auburn area including North Auburn, the Highway 49 corridor toward Cool, and properties along Foresthill Road. Our familiarity with Placer County building codes and permit requirements helps keep projects on schedule.
