DIY Glass Shower Panels & Screens

You'll need three measurements: panel width, panel height, and wall plumb (vertical level) at the mounting point. Our online configurator walks you through it with diagrams. Measure twice - tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled, or modified after it ships.

Use the U-channel mounting option instead of wall clamps. The continuous channel hides up to 1/4" of wall variation and is far more forgiving for typical residential framing. Wall clamps require near-perfect plumb walls.

U-channel is a continuous slim channel that holds the full edge of the glass - easier for beginners and forgiving on uneven walls. Wall clamps grip the panel at fixed mounting points for a more minimal look but require straight, plumb walls and precise drilling. Both come standard in our kits; you choose based on your wall conditions.

Standard kit installs need a level, a drill with masonry bit, stud finder, silicone caulk gun, painter's tape, and a partner to hold the glass. Wall-clamp configurations also need a tile-rated drill bit. Floor-clamp configurations need a torpedo level for the curb.

Pre-cut tempered glass panel, mounting hardware in your chosen finish (clamps or U-channel), stabilizer bar if your panel exceeds 30" wide or 80" tall, anchor screws, and step-by-step printed instructions. Silicone sealant is sold separately.

Plan on two people. A 36" x 76" panel of 3/8" tempered glass weighs around 60 lbs and is awkward to position alone. One person holds and aligns while the other drills, shims, and tightens hardware.

Standard panel sizes ship in 5-7 business days. Custom-cut panels take 2-3 weeks because each panel is fabricated and tempered to your dimensions before shipping.

Yes - every panel is fabricated to your exact width and height before tempering, then shipped ready to install. Tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled, or modified after manufacturing, so the dimensions you submit are final.

Once tempered glass leaves our facility, it is a custom product and not returnable. If hardware is damaged or missing, we replace it for free. If the glass is damaged in transit, file a claim within 48 hours of delivery and we will ship a replacement.

1-year limited warranty on glass and hardware against manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover installation errors, dropped glass, or damage from tools. Nano-coating, when included, carries a separate 5-year performance warranty.

For a like-for-like replacement (swapping a framed door for a fixed panel without moving plumbing or drains), most jurisdictions don't require a permit. Check with your local building department if you're modifying drainage, removing a curb, or adding new wall framing.

Yes - call our DIY support line and we'll walk you through it. We also have installation videos and configurator-specific PDF guides for every kit we ship.
