Bathroom updates and upgrades can really improve the functionality of your home as well as your home’s value. According to HomeGuide, a custom glass shower door may cost as much as $3,300. However, these types of upgrades are worth it for the improved aesthetics. Let’s look at a few factors that can affect the cost of shower door installation.

1. Door Size

The size of the shower door you want to upgrade is a huge factor. A larger door will cost more than a small one. There are lots of custom shower door sizes. You should talk with professionals to get advice on which type of door will work best for the size of your bathroom and shower. Custom-built showers may need custom-built shower doors. You will need to get the shower dimensions taken by a professional in order to get the best results.

2. Type of Glass

There are different types of glass that you can choose from for your shower. If there are already glass surfaces in your bathroom, the shower door installation company should be able to match them. The team can also help you choose the best type of glass for your shower if you're not trying to match other glass. Some glass is completely clear, while other styles have a slight tint to them.

3. Glass Thickness

The thickness of the shower glass is also important and will have an impact on cost. You can get heavier-duty custom shower doors with thicker glass and higher-graded hardware for a high-end look. Smaller bathrooms may benefit from thinner glass. A thinner door won't take up as much space in a tiny bathroom.

4. Hardware

The handles you choose will have an effect on the cost of your shower door. Handles can be simple or decorative. You can choose different types of finishes such as brass or stainless steel. Robe hooks and towel bars are also a type of hardware you’ll need to choose when planning your shower door installation. This is a good place to really show your distinct style and taste. These are also an important part of the functionality of the bathroom as well.
