Made to belong in your bathroom

 

Your shower sets the tone for the whole bathroom. It should feel calm, uncluttered and in step with the rest of the room. We start with your space and your style, then work through the details that make it work:

  • Bathroom size and layout
  • Door opening and clearance
  • Fixed and moving panels
  • Glass dimensions
  • Hardware positioning
  • Existing walls and surfaces
  • Water containment
  • Installation requirements
You don't need to know exactly what configuration you need.
Sharp Glass can help work that out.

How your frameless shower comes together

 

A custom frameless shower involves more than measuring a gap and ordering glass. The layout, glass size, hardware and surrounding surfaces all need to work together before anything is manufactured.

Sharp Glass manages the process from the first conversation through to final installation.

Talk through your plans

You can come to us with architectural drawings, renovation plans, inspiration images or simply an idea of the look you want.

We'll discuss the space, how the shower will be used and the type of finish you are trying to achieve. If you are still unsure about the right configuration, we can help you work through the practical options.

Measure, design and select hardware

Once the bathroom is ready for accurate measurement, our team assesses the space and confirms the shower configuration, checking dimensions, door clearance, panel positions, surrounding surfaces and hardware requirements.

With the layout confirmed, we finalise the glass and hardware. Depending on the design, this may include hinges, handles, channels, brackets or sliding hardware, with a range of finish options available.

For suitable projects, planning tools such as Opus BluePrint support the design before the glass is ordered. Working with specialist suppliers including Opus Hardware means the fittings are considered as part of the overall bathroom design, not added as an afterthought.

The aim is to resolve the important details before manufacture, rather than trying to make them work during installation.

Manufacture your custom glass

Your shower glass is manufactured to the confirmed measurements and specifications for your bathroom.

Because frameless showers rely on accurate sizing and hardware placement, each component is prepared for the individual installation rather than supplied as a standard enclosure.

Professional installation

Our glaziers install the glass and hardware, make the final adjustments and ensure the shower operates as intended.

This is where careful planning becomes particularly important. The alignment of the glass, operation of the door, hardware positioning and overall finish all contribute to how the shower looks and performs once installed.

Final check and handover

Before we finish, we check the installation, operation and overall finish with you.

You are left with a frameless shower designed specifically for your bathroom, with one team responsible for the process from measurement through to installation.

Planned before the glass is made

Sharp Glass uses specialist hardware and planning tools from Opus Hardware as part of the design and measurement process.

How BluePrint plans a frameless shower

Experience matters with custom glass

 

An off-the-shelf shower is made for an average bathroom. Yours isn't average. Walls are rarely square, floors fall and every layout is different. That's where experience counts.

What homeowners usually ask us

How much does a frameless glass shower cost?

Most frameless showers in Christchurch fall between around $2,000 and $5,500 depending on size, configuration, glass and hardware. Use the estimate builder for an indicative price, then we confirm after measuring.

Are frameless showers custom made?

Yes. Every Sharp Glass shower is designed and cut for your bathroom, based on an on-site measure.

What glass is used for frameless showers?

Toughened safety glass, typically 10mm. Clear is most common, with low-iron, fluted or textured, satin and tinted options available.

Can I choose the hardware colour?

Yes, including matte black, brushed brass, polished chrome, brushed nickel and gunmetal, so you can match your tapware.

Can you install a frameless shower in an existing bathroom?

Yes. Many of our showers go into renovations. We measure the existing walls, floor and surfaces and design around them.

Are sliding frameless showers available?

Yes. Sliding systems are a good option where there is not enough room for a door to swing.

Do frameless showers leak?

Not when they are designed and installed properly. We plan panel positions, seals and floor falls together for good water containment.

Do you measure the bathroom before manufacture?

Always. Glass is only made once we have measured on site and confirmed the configuration with you.

How long does the process take?

Typically around two weeks from measure to installation, depending on glass and hardware selections.
