Custom frameless shower enclosures, sliding doors, fixed panels and bathtub doors in Manhattan: 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 Manhattan: 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.

Manhattan shower work is apartments and townhouses, usually inside a larger renovation run by a contractor or a designer, and usually with a specific glass in mind: extra-clear low-iron glass in a Lenox Hill bathroom, velour acid-etched glass in Tribeca, a laminated reeded panel in Hudson Square (reeded glass cannot be tempered, so it is laminated), and the frameless door and panel in a Gramercy powder room renovation beside the backlit mirror we made for it.
Co-ops and condos set the hours and the insurance; we work to the building rules, bring the glass up by the service elevator, and install in a morning. Marble and large-format tile need the right clips and setting; we have done enough of both to know where the hinge can and cannot go.
Uptown: Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem.
Midtown and downtown: Midtown, Chelsea, Gramercy, Greenwich Village, West Village, East Village, SoHo, Tribeca, Hudson Square, Financial District, Battery Park City, Lower East Side, Washington Heights.

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. We carry the insurance co-ops require, work within the building hours, protect the common areas and bring the glass up by the service elevator; most installations are done in a morning.
Yes, as laminated glass, because reeded glass cannot be tempered; the Hudson Square panel is an example.
