Frameless Shower Doors in Monroe, NC
Monroe is the Union County seat, and its housing covers a lot of ground. In town you'll find brick ranches from the 1950s through the 1970s with hall baths built around a tub. Past the edges of town, custom homes on larger lots often have primary suites designed around a big walk-in shower.
Those two kinds of bathrooms call for different glass. In an older ranch, a fixed splash panel or a slim sliding door can replace a shower curtain without tearing out tile. In a custom build, a door-and-panel front or a walk-in panel finishes the shower the builder framed out. Either way, the custom shower glass is cut to that one opening.
KKC Glass has been a family business in nearby Matthews since 1997, and co-owners Kevin and Kyle handle the frameless shower installation themselves. See every layout, glass option and hardware finish on our frameless shower enclosures page.

Glass Shower Layouts for Monroe Bathrooms
Every layout is available in frameless or semi-frameless glass. We'll confirm what fits your opening when we measure.
Door Only
A single frameless door hung between two finished walls. Common in alcove showers where a tub used to be.
Door and Panel Fronts
A hinged door beside one or more fixed panels in a straight line, for shower fronts too wide for a door alone.
Corner Enclosures
Two glass walls meeting at a right angle, with the door on either face. Built for showers set into a corner.
Neo-Angle Enclosures
Three glass sides with angled corners that face the entry toward the room. Often paired with a corner shower base.
Sliding Doors
Glass that glides along a rail instead of swinging out. The answer when there's no room for a door to open.
Tub Splash Panels
A fixed glass panel along part of a tub that keeps water in and lets the shower curtain go.
Steam Enclosures
Sealed glass that runs to the ceiling, often with a transom above the door, so the steam stays in the shower.

What Goes Into a Monroe Shower Door Quote
Every price is built from your measurements. These are the parts that change it.
Size and number of panels
A single walk-in panel costs less than a door with two returns.
Glass thickness
Most showers use 3/8" glass. Heavier 1/2" glass costs more and is saved for the occasional extra-wide or extra-tall panel.
Glass type
Standard clear glass, or low-iron glass that removes the green tint and costs more.
Hardware finish
Matte black, brushed nickel, polished or brushed gold, oil-rubbed bronze, polished brass or chrome. Other finishes and most custom colors are available if needed.
Notches and cutouts
Glass that wraps a bench, knee wall or sloped ceiling needs extra cuts.
Removing an old door
Taking out an existing framed door and track adds a step to the install.

Updating an Old Shower or Finishing a New One?
Monroe homeowners usually come to us for one of two reasons.
Replacing an existing door
Your shower works, but the framed door is dated, corroded or hard to keep clean.
- We take out the old door, frame and track.
- We check the curb and walls for damage hiding under the frame.
- New frameless or semi-frameless glass is sized to the opening.
- Often done without retiling the shower.
Glass for a remodel or new build
You're building a new shower, or converting a tub, and the glass is the last piece.
- Call us before tile so hinge and clamp locations are planned.
- We measure after the tile, curb and valve are finished.
- We schedule around your contractor's timeline.
- Your remodeler can deal with us directly.

I've used them four times in the past few years for frameless shower installations and they did a fantastic job on each project. Everything from the measure to the order to the installation was handled quickly and efficiently. I got quotes from numerous companies, but KKC was the best.
Excellent service and competitive price. Kevin showed up on time and completed the job very quickly. Area was cleaned up and old materials and boxes removed. Highly recommend this local family business.

Monroe Glass Shower Door Questions
Can you add glass to a tub in an older Monroe ranch?
Yes. A fixed splash panel covers the front half of the tub and replaces the curtain, and a sliding tub door encloses the whole opening. Both mount to the existing tile, so the bathroom doesn't need to be remodeled first.
Do you install shower doors in custom homes outside Monroe city limits?
Yes. We work in homes throughout the Monroe area, including custom builds on larger lots outside town. If your builder is still finishing the bathroom, we'll schedule the measure once the tile and valve are done.
What should I have ready before you measure?
The tile, curb and shower valve should be finished, and any niche or bench should be in its final spot. A photo of your faucets helps us match the hardware finish.
Do you remove the old shower door?
Yes. Taking out an existing door, frame and track is part of the job when you're replacing glass, and we check the curb and walls once it's out.
Can you install glass on a tub-to-shower conversion?
Yes. Once your remodeler has finished the tile and the curb, we measure the new opening and build the enclosure to it. If you talk to us before tile goes up, we can also flag where hinge and clamp locations will land.
Will a frameless shower door leak?
Frameless doors have small gaps at the hinges and edges. Sweeps and seals handle normal spray, and the slope of the curb and the position of the showerhead matter too. If anything in your layout could send water toward a gap, we'll point it out when we measure.
What warranty comes with the installation?
Our workmanship carries a one-year warranty. Glass and hardware are covered by their manufacturers' warranties.
