Shower Doors & Custom Glass in Mount Prospect

Mount Prospect is one of the older villages we work in regularly — much of the housing stock predates 1970, and many of the bathrooms we walk into still have their original tile, original plumbing, and original everything. The remodels here tend to be thoughtful, full-scope, and once-in-thirty-years.

Why Local Matters

Mount Prospect bathrooms are usually a once-in-a-generation remodel

When a Mount Prospect homeowner finally takes on the master bath, they take it on completely. We're usually the last trade in — coming after the plumber, the tile setter, the electrician, the painter. Our job is to install glass that complements all of that work and lasts as long as the rest of it will.

Because these are generational remodels, our clients want glass that won't date quickly and hardware that will outlast them. We push toward simple frameless geometry, classic hardware finishes (polished chrome and brushed nickel still age the best), and glass thicknesses that read substantial without being ostentatious.

Project 01

Frameless inline panel, Lions Park 1928 bungalow

A homeowner near Maple Street had the original 1928 second-floor bath retiled in subway and hex. They wanted glass that wouldn't fight the period feel. Single ⅜″ frameless inline panel in clear tempered (low-iron would have read too modern), polished-chrome hardware, header reinforced into original wood blocking.

Project 02

Frameless walk-in, Briarwood ranch

A 1969 ranch off Westgate Road had its master tub pulled and the alcove rebuilt as a 60″ curbed walk-in. ⅜″ frameless inline panel with a 24″ fixed return, brushed-nickel hardware throughout. The bathroom finally felt like a 2026 bathroom in a 1969 house.

Project 03

Steam enclosure, Forest River custom home

A 1995 custom build off Burning Bush had a dedicated steam shower the builder had under-glazed. Full ⅜″ frameless steam enclosure: hinged door, two fixed panels, sealed transom, continuous gasketing. Polished-chrome hardware to match the original fixtures.

Trends

Mount Prospect's enduring choices

Mount Prospect clients tend to skip trends. The choices we install here are simple frameless geometry, polished chrome or brushed nickel hardware, and clear or low-iron glass — finishes that will read well in 2046 as they do today.

If you're trying to decide whether the upgrade to fully frameless is worth it for your project, our comparison guide walks through the long-term math.

FAQs

Mount Prospect shower-door questions

Do you do mirror work as part of the same project?

Yes — many Mount Prospect remodels include a custom vanity mirror cut to the same project visit.

How do you handle older plumbing concerns near anchors?

We map plumbing locations during measurement and route anchors to avoid them. If there's any question, we coordinate with your plumber before drilling.

Can you install in a bath with original tile we want to keep?

Yes. We use wider clamp footprints to spread load on older tile and avoid cracking. Hundreds of period-tile installs in our portfolio.

How long does fabrication take?

Standard frameless: 2-3 weeks from measure. Steam-rated assemblies: 3-4 weeks.
