What Are Shower Doors?
- Shower doors are a must-have in any modern Orange County bathroom. They not only keep water contained but also add a touch of style. Most shower doors are made from tempered glass, which is strong and safe. You'll find them in various styles, from sliding doors that save space to hinged doors that swing open. In many Orange County homes, especially those with unique bathroom layouts, custom-sized shower doors are becoming increasingly popular. This allows homeowners to perfectly tailor the door to their shower or tub area. Whether you're remodeling your bathroom in Huntington Beach or building a new home in Aliso Viejo, Sanctuary Design & Build can help you choose and install the right shower door for your needs.

Course: A Guide to Custom Shower Door Installation
Process - Shower Door Installation
At Sanctuary Design & Build, a leading design-build firm in Orange County, we complete your bathroom transformation with expertly installed custom shower doors. Discover our step-by-step guide on how we bring your dream bathroom to life with precisely measured and beautifully fitted shower enclosures. Unless otherwise stated in your contract, all installations pertaining to shower doors are performed in the exact outlined method! From precise measurements and hardware selection to professional installation and sealing, we ensure a leak-free and stylish shower enclosure for your Orange County home. Our unique Sanctuary Sequence, a comprehensive site assessment and planning process, sets the stage for successful bathroom remodeling projects throughout Orange County, including cities like Irvine, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach.
Phase 1: Precise Measurements and Hardware Selection for Custom Shower Doors in Orange County
This crucial first phase focuses on obtaining precise measurements of your shower opening and assisting you with selecting the perfect hardware for your custom shower door in your Orange County home. As part of our Sanctuary Sequence and your consultation in our Sanctuary Studio, we have already determined the best style of door (sliding or hinged) based on your bathroom's layout and your preferences. This detailed preparation includes:
-
Accurate Measurements: We take precise measurements of the shower opening, including width, height, and any out-of-plumb or out-of-square conditions. Accurate measurements are essential for a proper fit and a leak-free seal. This is a crucial step for any bathroom remodel or home improvement project involving custom shower doors.
-
Hardware Selection: We present you with a variety of hardware options, including hinges, handles, knobs, and towel bars, in various finishes (e.g., brushed nickel, chrome, oil-rubbed bronze). We help you select hardware that complements your bathroom's décor and your chosen tile. This is a key design element considered by general contractors in Orange County during bathroom renovations.
Phase 2: Shower Door Installation in Orange County Bathrooms
This phase involves the professional installation of your custom shower door in your Orange County bathroom. This careful installation process includes:
-
Framing (If Necessary): For frameless shower doors, we may install minimal framing or clips to support the glass. This is a common practice for modern bathroom remodels in Orange County.
-
Door Installation: We carefully install the shower door, ensuring it is plumb, level, and operates smoothly. For sliding doors, we install the tracks and ensure the doors glide effortlessly. For hinged doors, we ensure they swing freely and close securely.
-
Hardware Installation: We install the chosen hardware, including hinges, handles, and any other accessories.
Phase 3: Sealing, Testing, and Cleanup for Orange County Shower Enclosures
This final phase ensures a watertight seal, proper operation, and a clean and finished look for your new Orange County shower enclosure. This essential finishing process, typical of high-quality home remodeling services, includes:
-
Sealing: We apply silicone sealant along all seams and joints to create a watertight seal and prevent leaks along with utilizing under door plastic or metal seam covers. This is a critical step to protect your bathroom from water damage and mold growth, especially in Orange County’s climate.
-
Testing: We thoroughly test the shower door to ensure it opens and closes smoothly, that the seals are watertight, and that there are no leaks.
-
Cleanup: We thoroughly clean the shower enclosure and the surrounding bathroom area, removing any debris, tools, or sealant residue, leaving your newly remodeled Orange County bathroom clean and ready to use.
