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 Nevada City, CA Homes
Nevada City is one of the most architecturally distinctive towns in the Sierra foothills. The historic downtown and surrounding neighborhoods feature a concentration of Victorian-era homes with ornate trim, tall narrow windows, and original wood sashes. Preserving the character of these homes while improving thermal performance requires careful product selection and installation technique.
At roughly 2,500 feet elevation, Nevada City gets meaningful snowfall and extended freezing conditions through winter. Windows and doors need to handle snow loads, ice buildup at sills, and the thermal stress of cold nights followed by sunny days. We specify products with strong weatherstripping, durable frame materials, and insulating glass units rated for mountain conditions.
Colfax Glass is about 40 minutes from downtown Nevada City. For homeowners restoring older Victorian or Craftsman homes, we source custom window profiles that match period styles without sacrificing thermal performance. We also serve the surrounding areas of Cement Hill, Deer Creek, and properties along the Highway 49 corridor.
