Beaver Bath Co. BEAVER BATH CO. TUB-TO-SHOWER CONVERSIONS

SHOWER DOORS

How you close the opening

Every conversion ends with a decision about glass. It changes the price, how easy the shower is to step into, and how much you will be cleaning. Here is the honest comparison.

FOUR WAYS TO CLOSE IT

What each one actually costs you

Not in dollars alone. In clearance to step through, in how much water stays in, and in how much of your Saturday goes to cleaning a track.

Fixed glass panel

Included

One piece of tempered glass, no hinges, no track, and a walk-in gap to step through. Nothing to pull closed and nothing along the curb to clean. On a standard alcove this is what we recommend most often, and it is included at every tier.

Semi-frameless door

Included

A hinged or sliding door with a slim frame at the edges and clear glass across the face. Contains more spray than a panel, which matters if you use a handheld on a slide bar. Standard sizes, ordered with the rest of the materials.

Custom frameless glass

Premium tier

Thick tempered glass with no frame at all, templated after the walls are tiled and cut to your exact opening. It is the best-looking option and the most expensive, and it is the one piece of a conversion we do not install ourselves.

Curtain rod

Included

Not a downgrade. A rod gives you the widest possible opening to step through, costs the least, and is what a lot of people actually want when getting in and out is the whole reason for the conversion.

THE ONE WE SUB OUT

Custom frameless is the exception, and we say so

Everything else in your bathroom is done by our crew. Custom frameless glass is not, because it is templated in a shop, cut to a tolerance that does not forgive, and heavy enough that dropping it costs more than the panel.

A glass fabricator we work with handles it. They come once, after the tile is set. We tell you which day, they invoice us, and your fixed price does not change because of it.

PICKING FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY SHOWER

Getting in and out is the hard part Fixed panel or a rod. Widest opening, nothing to swing.
You sit on a bench with a handheld Semi-frameless door. Keeps the spray off the floor.
A caregiver helps you shower Rod or panel, so someone can reach in without opening a door.
It's the bathroom guests see Custom frameless, at the premium tier.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers

Who installs the glass?
Stock and semi-frameless doors and panels, we install ourselves as part of the conversion. Custom frameless glass is templated and installed by a glass fabricator we work with, because it is cut to your exact opening after the tile is set and a drop is an expensive mistake. Either way, they invoice us and you deal with one company.
Why does frameless glass get ordered after the tile goes up?
Because it is cut to the opening that actually exists, not the one on the drawing. Tile adds thickness and walls are never perfectly plumb in a house built in 1962. Templating after tile is what makes the fit look effortless.
Does a glass door make the bathroom harder to get into?
It can, which is why we ask how you get in and out before recommending one. If the reason for the conversion is that stepping over the tub has gotten difficult, a fixed panel or a rod usually serves better than a door that swings.
Can you replace just the shower door on a shower I already have?
That is not what we do. We do one thing: convert tubs to showers. If you only need a door swapped, a glass shop will serve you better and faster than we would.
