Frameless Shower Doors in Waxhaw, NC
Waxhaw has kept its small-town downtown, with the railroad running down the middle of Main Street, while new neighborhoods keep going up along Providence Road and Highway 16. The bathrooms we see here are just as split between old and new.
Many newer Waxhaw homes came with a basic framed shower door, and swapping it for frameless glass is a simple way to finish the bathroom. Farmhouse-style bathrooms, which suit a lot of Waxhaw homes, pair well with matte black or oil-rubbed bronze hardware. Smaller homes closer to downtown often do best with a sliding door or a single panel.
KKC Glass has been a family business in Matthews since 1997. Kevin and Kyle measure each opening and handle the frameless shower installation, and the custom shower glass is cut to fit. Explore layouts on our frameless shower enclosures page.

Shower Glass Options for Waxhaw 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 Sets the Price of a Waxhaw Shower Door
Each quote starts with your measurements. These choices change it most.
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.

Replacing Builder Glass or Starting Fresh?
Most Waxhaw shower glass jobs fall into one of these two groups.
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.

KKC Glass Reviews
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.
I had such a great experience with KKC glass. The technicians were very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend KKC glass for any of your glass needs.

Waxhaw Shower Door FAQs
Can you replace the framed door that came with my new Waxhaw home?
Yes. We take out the builder's door and frame, check the tile and curb, and install frameless or semi-frameless glass sized to your opening.
Which hardware goes with a farmhouse-style bathroom?
Matte black and oil-rubbed bronze suit most farmhouse bathrooms, and polished brass works for a more traditional look. We'll match the hinges and handle to your faucets.
Will a sliding door work in an older downtown Waxhaw home?
Often, yes. Sliding doors don't swing into the room, which helps in smaller bathrooms. Because older walls can be out of plumb, we measure carefully and cut the glass to the opening.
Can you install shower glass in a new home before we move in?
Yes. If the tile and fixtures are finished, we can measure and install before move-in, as long as someone can let us in for both visits.
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.
