Requirements
Requirements for a Successful Fixed Glass Installation

Proper Floor Drainage
The shower floor must slope toward the drain to prevent water escaping open layouts.

Water-Resistant Flooring
Tile, stone, or sealed surfaces are required near the open shower entry.

Adequate Ventilation
Proper airflow and exhaust help prevent humidity buildup in open layouts.

Spray Control Placement
We custom-measure panel placement to block the primary spray path and contain water.

Why Professional Installation Matters
Precise Placement: Helps position the panel for better water control
Secure Mounting: Heavy glass is anchored based on wall, floor, and support conditions
Long-Term Performance: Proper alignment and sealing help reduce splash issues and movement over time
How to Plan Your Open Shower
Layout Planning
Custom Open Shower Design Considerations
Drainage Planning
Floor Pitch: We verify the slope directs water efficiently to the drain
Curbless Layouts: Full floor pitch may be required for open entries
Foundation First: Proper drainage matters more than panel size or hardware
Splash Zone Management
Expected Overspray: Water typically extends 12" to 24" beyond the panel
Fixture Protection: Surrounding surfaces must handle occasional moisture
Layout Planning: Panel placement minimizes water reaching dry areas
Panel Sizing and Placement
Containment Balance: Larger panels block more water but reduce openness
Typical Widths: Most panels fall between 24" and 36"
Custom Fit: We size panels based on spray path and room layout
Ventilation Requirements
Moisture Control: Open layouts release steam into the room
Airflow Check: We confirm your ventilation supports the space
Long-Term Protection: Proper airflow prevents mold and surface damage
Temperature Comfort
Heat Loss: Open showers do not retain warmth like enclosed designs
Comfort Planning: Layout and fixtures help reduce drafts
Environment Fit: Larger openings increase exposure

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does professional fixed shower screen installation cost?Featured Question
Pricing depends on glass dimensions, thickness, and finish. After your in-home measurement we provide a written quote that includes glass, hardware, installation labor, and sealing. The measurement visit is free.
What ZIP codes does Dulles Glass install in?
Northern Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. — full Dulles Glass DMV service area. Use the ZIP checker on this page to confirm your address. Outside the service area, our DIY kits ship nationwide.
What does a Dulles Glass professional shower screen installation include?
In-home measurement, custom glass fabrication to your exact dimensions, delivery, full installation including anchoring and silicone sealing, haul-away of any old shower door, and a final inspection with you walking the install. One visit for measurement, one visit to install.
How does the in-home measurement appointment work?
A Dulles Glass measurement specialist visits your home, takes precise measurements of the shower opening, verifies wall plumb and floor pitch, recommends the right panel size and mounting style, and confirms hardware finish. The appointment takes 30–45 minutes. There's no pressure to buy on the spot.
How long from measurement to a finished installed shower screen?
Typically 2–3 weeks. Glass is custom-fabricated after measurement, then we schedule the install when it arrives. Installation itself takes 2–3 hours for a single panel, or a full day for multi-panel or accessibility-focused layouts.
What's the warranty on professionally installed shower screens?
3-year warranty on the installation itself (alignment, anchoring, sealing) plus the manufacturer warranty on glass and hardware. If anything shifts, leaks, or fails within 3 years, we return and fix it at no charge.
Do I need to do any bathroom prep before the install team arrives?
Clear the shower area and a 4-foot path from the front door. If you're replacing an existing framed door, we remove and haul it away. We don't perform tile work, plumbing changes, or drainage modifications — those need to be completed before our install date.
Will the installer haul away my old shower door or framed enclosure?
Yes — included in standard installation. We disassemble the existing door, remove all hardware and silicone residue, and dispose of the old materials. Tile damage from a previous frame is not repaired by our crew but is documented before we install the new panel.
Does the install team handle tile or drainage modifications?
No. Our crew installs glass and hardware only. If your project needs tile work, drain replacement, or curb removal, those are handled by a tile or plumbing contractor before our install date. We're happy to recommend partner tradespeople in your area.
What happens if there's an issue after installation?
Call us. A Dulles Glass technician comes back out under the 3-year install warranty for any alignment, leak, or hardware concern. Most return visits are scheduled within 5 business days.
Is the measurement appointment free, and am I obligated to buy?
The measurement visit is free, and there's no obligation to buy. You'll receive a written quote you can take home. Most homeowners decide within a few days.
What's the largest fixed shower screen Dulles Glass can install?
Single panels up to 60" wide × 96" tall. Beyond that, we use multi-panel layouts with glass-to-glass connectors and stabilizer bars — common for primary suites and walk-in roll-in showers. Our specialist confirms the right configuration during measurement.
