Lewis Glass · Custom shower Doors in Franklin, TN
A better shower starts with the right glass.
A custom shower enclosure should be built around your bathroom, not the other way around. Lewis Glass Company provides custom glass shower doors, frameless enclosures, and professional installation for homeowners in Franklin, TN. From replacement shower doors to completely new glass enclosures, we measure each opening and tailor the details to your space.
Frameless Glass · Why it matters
Built around your vision. Made to fit your space.
A custom frameless shower enclosure brings together glass, hardware, and precise measurements to create a finished look that feels intentional. Whether you're updating an existing bathroom or completing a larger renovation, the right glass can make a meaningful difference in how the space looks and functions.
Lewis Glass Company has been serving Franklin and Middle Tennessee since 1977, providing custom shower door measurement, glass specifications, and installation. We take the time to understand your layout and preferences before ordering glass, so the finished enclosure is made specifically for your bathroom.
The five configurations we install most in Franklin, TN
A custom solution for every shower layout.
The best shower door configuration depends on more than appearance. Available space, entry clearance, shower dimensions, and surrounding walls all influence which design will work best. Lewis Glass Company helps Franklin homeowners select custom glass shower doors that balance everyday convenience with the look they want.
Most Common
Swing shower door
A fixed panel plus a hinged door. The cleanest look for a typical shower opening. Hinges mount glass-to-wall, glass-to-glass, or ceiling/floor.
For wider openings
Sliding or barn door slider
Two panels on a top track. Best when the opening is wider than what a swing door comfortably handles, or when there isn't room outside the shower for a door to clear.
walk-in / curbless
Single fixed panel
One pane, no door. The most architectural option, especially with a curbless entry. Requires a long enough wet-zone that the splash stays in the shower.
Corner Installs
Neo-angle
Multi-sided enclosure that tucks into a corner. Smart use of square footage in smaller bathrooms, and the angled front face reads more architectural than a square corner stall.
Tub-shower combos
Tub enclosure
Frameless glass over a tub, hinged or bypass. A real upgrade over a curtain. Perfect if you're replacing old glass doors for a bathtub or installing a new glass door for a tub enclosure.

five things we don't compromise on
The craftsmanship behind every enclosure.
Custom glass installation requires careful planning and attention to details that aren't always visible once the project is complete. From the first measurement to the final adjustment, our team follows a consistent process to make sure your shower door is properly specified and installed.
01
Accurate field measurements
We measure the finished shower opening ourselves, accounting for wall alignment, tile, and other details that affect the glass fit.
02
Glass specified for your space
Each panel is ordered to the dimensions and layout of your shower, with the appropriate thickness, edgework, and glass style.
03
Hardware selected with purpose
Hinges, handles, clips, and stabilizing hardware are selected to suit the enclosure design and provide the support each installation requires.
04
Clean glass, polished edges
We won't leave you with a chipped, scratched, or bowed panel. A chipped edge or scratched panel tells on us for a decade.
05
Installed by our crew
Our installers complete the work without subcontracted installation crews, maintaining consistency from the original measurement through final installation.
glass coatings
Protect the glass you're investing in.
A beautiful shower enclosure deserves the right care. Over time, minerals from water and soap residue can accumulate on untreated glass, leaving spots and cloudy buildup that become increasingly difficult to remove. A protective glass coating helps reduce mineral adhesion and makes regular cleaning easier.
For custom shower doors in Franklin, Lewis Glass Company offers several baked-in protective coating options to help maintain the appearance of your enclosure.
Recommended Baked-in protection
Applied at the factory under heat and pressure while the glass is being made, so the coating is fused into the surface itself, not laid on top. It can't wear off, peel, or be cleaned away, and it carries a manufacturer lifetime warranty. We spec Guardian ShowerGuard, the baked-in coating we trust most for our water.
- Permanent. Fused into the glass, not a surface treatment that wears off.
- Manufacturer lifetime warranty. Backed by Guardian for as long as you own the glass.
- Lowest maintenance. A quick squeegee is all most homeowners ever do.
- Available on clear or low-iron, 3/8" or 1/2".
Baked-in coatings we supply
Guardian ShowerGuard · Cardinal HydroClear · Pilkington OptiShower
Franklin, TN water Clarity that lasts
Hard water is the reality across Franklin, TN and surrounding areas. On untreated glass, minerals bond to the surface within a year and a squeegee stops being enough, leaving the cloudy film that dulls an enclosure. A baked-in coating is built for exactly that.
- Keeps its clarity and color. The glass looks as clear as on install day, not hazed and gray.
- Protects the surface. The non-stick layer keeps minerals and soap from etching in.
- Beads water off. Water sheets off and soap rinses clean instead of drying into spots.
The bottom line
Worth it on nearly every job.

Questions we get every week.
If yours isn't here, call the shop or send a photo. A real person picks up.
Do you install custom frameless shower doors in Franklin, TN?
Yes! Lewis Glass Company provides custom frameless shower door design, measurement, and installation for homeowners in Franklin and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities. Our team handles the process from the initial measurement through final installation.
How much do custom glass shower doors cost in Franklin, TN?
The cost depends on the size, hardware finish, glass thickness, and whether you want a protective coating. Every frameless shower door is custom built, so pricing is based on your exact space and design. Send us a photo and rough dimensions, and we'll come back with a real number.
What does a custom frameless shower door cost?
It depends on the size, the hardware finish, the glass thickness, and whether you want a protective coating. We won't quote a number on a website that we can't honor at install. Every frameless shower door is custom built, so pricing is based on your exact space and design.
Do I need a protective coating on my frameless shower glass?
You don't need one. You'll be glad you have one. Hard water in Middle Tennessee is real, and uncoated glass starts showing it inside a year. We recommend a baked-in coating like Guardian ShowerGuard. It's fused into the glass, carries a manufacturer lifetime warranty, and keeps your frameless shower glass clearer and easier to clean instead of clouding over.
Do you install semi-frameless and frameless shower doors in Franklin, TN?
Yes. We install frameless shower doors, semi-frameless shower doors, sliding shower doors, and custom glass shower doors for homeowners throughout Franklin, Nashville, and Middle Tennessee.
What if my walls aren't perfectly plumb for a frameless shower door installation?
They almost never are. That's exactly what the field measure is for. We measure with a digital level from top to bottom and cut the glass to match the wall as it actually is. A wall that's out a quarter-inch over seven feet is normal. Every custom frameless shower door is fabricated to fit your specific opening, so the reveals stay tight and the door still swings true.
What frameless shower door hardware finishes do you offer?
Polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, satin brass, and brushed bronze are the everyday five. We can usually match the finish of your plumbing fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Delta, Brizo, and most other major brands so your frameless shower door hardware looks like part of the same design. Bring a sample or the model name and we'll match it.
Will the frameless shower door swing inward or outward?
Frameless shower doors must be able to swing outward by code. Our standard hinges swing a full 180 degrees, so your frameless shower door can open in or out depending on your bathroom layout and installation.
What does your frameless shower door installation warranty actually cover?
Two layers. For the first year, you get full coverage on our workmanship, including door and hinge adjustments, hardware, panel alignment, and silicone touch-ups - anything that traces back to your frameless shower door installation. After that, a lifetime limited warranty covers structural issues such as glass or hardware failures caused by how the enclosure was mounted or anchored, or a track that was installed out of plumb. Routine upkeep like silicone reapplication and normal hardware wear isn't covered after year one. The glass and hardware also carry their own manufacturer warranties. To start a claim, call or email us and we'll inspect the enclosure, usually within about five business days.
Can you replace a leaky shower door in Franklin, TN?
Yes. If you have a leaky shower door, outdated hardware, or worn seals, we can often recommend replacement glass shower doors or a completely new custom installation depending on the condition of your existing enclosure.
