There are several points a glass company needs to check to be a great shower company. In Southwest Florida, which covers the major cities of Naples, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, and surrounding areas, there are two top quality glass companies for glass shower enclosures: My Shower Door and our company, A-Rite Glass. These are the points that you need to consider when picking a glass company to ensure you get that top quality experience and product:

1. Quality Glass – It doesn’t matter if you’re ordering regular glass doors that typically have a green tint or upgrading your glass to have a clearer blue tint, you want glass that has little to no imperfections. A quality glass company will have quality control processes in place that ensures all the glass that they’re installing in their clients’ homes are within the industry standards, being as close to perfection as possible.
   
   
2. Accurate Measurements – Why wouldn’t you save a few dollars by ordering a pre-made shower from Home Depot, Lowe’s, or somewhere like Costco? In short, no two walls are made the same. Your wall may bend and curve not being plumb in several spots from the ceiling to the floor. Ordering a custom shower made specifically for your bathroom ensures it will fit perfectly to your wall, reducing the chances of leaks, panels that don’t fit, doors that don’t close, and squeaky hardware. With certain products, being custom is unnecessary; with shower enclosures, it’s a must for you to not have buyer’s remorse. So, skip the box stores and the cheap glass shops that won’t provide you a custom shower enclosure for your home. You wouldn’t believe how many of our clients reorder glass panels after recently buying a stock glass enclosure option because there are leaks or it just doesn’t fit right.
   
   
3. Specialized Service – Because you’ve made the choice to go with a quality glass company, there are a wide range of possibilities for your home. The different choices you have include size, to have a door or just panels, hardware color, hardware style, art glass, and more. You want a company that has the expertise and the desire to provide you with what will leave you loving your glass design choices. For example, do you want 3/8- or 1/2-inch-thick glass for your project? Glass that is 3/8-inch-thick is all you need because your shower enclosure glass must be tempered to be up to code. However, if you want a more luxurious high-end look, 1/2-inch glass is the option for you. Thicker glass provides a high-end look which matches our luxury home clients.
