[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking to replace a slider door with a custom frameless one. It’s a normal-size shower 5’ across, and when I put in the dimensions to one of the regularly recommended local glass places it is telling me well over $3k for a panel and door with the thinnest glass available that is not treated with anything special. Is that really what they cost or should I be looking elsewhere? Our contractor is very strongly discouraging us from getting a non-custom option from HD or Wayfair due to quality issues.[/quote]

OP, if your shower is not a corner style where you need two panels of glass, I would just go with this style or similar:

We did this in a bathroom remodel about 10 years ago and it still looks great.  Contractor also recommended against it and I ignored him.  I personally think it's because he had to then install which is a bit of a pain.  Custom glass is installed by the company that does custom glass, so no effort.  I bet he can't articulate any quality issues that make sense.  Thinner glass? (no)  What then?

Unless you have a nonstandard space (which I had in a main bath remodel and had to go custom), I used these.  [/quote]
