Custom frameless shower enclosures, sliding doors, fixed panels and bathtub doors in Brooklyn: measured after the tile is set, fabricated in tempered or laminated glass, installed by Alex Glass Construction crews, with hardware in chrome, brushed nickel, black or brass.
In short: Alex Glass Construction fabricates and installs frameless shower doors in Brooklyn: hinged doors, sliding doors, fixed panels and bathtub doors in 3/8 or 1/2-inch tempered glass (clear, low-iron, frosted, reeded or acid-etched), with hardware in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black or brass. We measure after the tile is set, fabricate to the opening with the clearances the hardware needs, and install in a morning. Survey and quote are free; typical lead time is one to two weeks.

Most Brooklyn shower work is a renovation: a brownstone bathroom in Park Slope or Clinton Hill with a tiled alcove that wants a frameless hinged door and panel, a new house in Manhattan Beach or Mill Basin with a walk-in shower and a Starphire panel, a Midwood or Borough Park family bathroom that wants a soft-close sliding door over a tub or a sliding door with black hardware. The house on Ocean Avenue has Starphire frameless showers and a steam room; 114 Lexington Avenue has frameless showers in every apartment of a new building.
Brooklyn bathrooms are small and the walls are rarely plumb, which is why we measure after the tile, at three heights, and fabricate to the opening rather than to a stock size. Glass and hardware samples are at the showroom on Staten Island, twenty minutes over the bridge.

It depends on the size, the configuration (door only, door and panel, sliding, bathtub), the glass (clear, low-iron, frosted, reeded) and the hardware finish. We quote from photos and rough sizes and confirm after the survey; the quote is free.
After the tile and the curb are finished and the plumbing fixtures are in, because the glass is cut to the finished opening to within a sixteenth of an inch.
3/8 inch is the standard for most hinged and sliding doors; 1/2 inch is heavier and stiffer, used on large panels and where the look of a thicker edge is wanted. Both are tempered safety glass.
Typically one to two weeks from measurement to installation for clear tempered glass; low-iron, frosted or reeded glass can add a week. Installation takes a morning.
Yes; that is most of what we do. We measure at three heights, cut the glass to the actual opening and use hinges and clips with enough adjustment to seal against a wall that leans up to about 3/8 inch.
