Pricing depends on whether you choose a framed (more budget-friendly) or frameless shower, glass thickness, hardware finishes, and optional coatings like Diamon-Fusion. For example, a frameless unit with premium hardware may cost around $1,000. We help you customize based on your space and budget.
An IGU is a window with two panes of glass separated by a spacer for insulation. It improves energy efficiency by keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. If your window looks fogged, the IGU seal may be broken and should be replaced to restore performance.
Fogged windows indicate a failed seal inside the IGU. Unfortunately, these can’t be cleaned or spot-repaired — the entire unit needs replacement to restore clarity and insulation. We specialize in replacing fogged glass with modern, energy-efficient IGUs.
Low-E (low-emissivity) glass has a special coating that reflects heat while allowing light in. It helps keep your home cool in Florida’s heat, lowers your energy bills, and protects interior finishes from fading. It’s a smart upgrade for energy efficiency.
Diamon-Fusion is a protective coating that repels water and prevents buildup of soap scum and minerals. It helps your shower stay cleaner and clearer, reduces maintenance, and prevents stains. We include it free on all our shower glass installations.
