- JKJ KH816 days ago5.0Dealing with Independent Glass was one of the easiest parts of our bathroom remodel! The installers were very polite and professional. Always on time, measured once and it fit perfectly. The price was reasonable for the quality of the product and flawless installation. Exactly what we wanted! I would absolutely recommend them.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for dependable, honest, and skilled service!
- CDC DolanOct 1, 20255.0The experience was great. People were very professional, on time, measured twice, and quickly got the windows installed. Great price. Other quotes we got were four to eight times more. It was unbelievable. Very satisfied with the windows. They work perfectly. We would definitely use them again.
- AWAngie WallaceSep 20, 20255.0We recently hired Independent Glass to create a custom steam shower enclosure. Everyone I talked to was super friendly and knew their stuff. We got a rough estimate based on our measurements, and when we were ready, they came out to take exact measurements—it took almost an hour. They said it would take 1-2 weeks from ordering, and they hit that timeline perfectly. The installers did an awesome job, we haven’t had any problems, and the glass looks fantastic. They even gave us a squeegee to keep it clean. I’d definitely work with this company again!
Frequently Asked Questions About Independent Glass Co., Inc.
Do I have to provide the sizes for my shower glass?
No, we handle the measurements for you. When your enclosure is prepared for glass measurement, contact our team at Independent Glass Co Inc to schedule a technician visit. The enclosure is ready for measurement once the tile or other material has been permanently set on all surfaces that will be in contact with the glass. For more information about our bath remodeling services in Chattanooga, TN, please reach out to us.
How long does the process take?
From order placement to installation, the process for a frameless shower enclosure in Chattanooga, TN typically takes about two to three weeks. The on-site installation usually requires two to four hours. After installation, we recommend allowing 24-36 hours of curing time before using your shower.
Do you offer a warranty on your shower enclosures?
Yes, we provide a warranty for our frameless shower enclosures in Chattanooga, TN. Our warranty covers hardware and workmanship for a period of 3 years.
What's the standard height of the shower glass?
We aim to align the top of the glass with a grout joint or door header for aesthetic appeal. The glass top is usually around seven feet from the finished floor, depending on the curb height. We suggest leaving a 10"-12" gap above the glass for ventilation and to keep it above the shower head, unless it's a specially designed steam enclosure. As providers of glass and mirrors in Chattanooga, TN, we focus on both functionality and visual appeal.
What's the typical width for a door?
While the minimum size for shower enclosures is 32 by 32 inches, most standard shower sizes are 36 by 36 inches. Door widths typically range from 28" to 32". This width allows for comfortable entry while ensuring the door can swing clear of obstructions. We can create doors up to 38" wide, provided they're within the recommended hardware weight. For inquiries about frameless shower enclosures in Chattanooga, TN, please contact us.
On which side is the door typically hinged?
The shower door is generally hinged on the same side as the shower controls. This configuration allows for easy access to the controls while shielding you from the water spray. Our goal is to make your frameless shower enclosure in Chattanooga, TN as user-friendly as possible.
Do I have to have a door on my shower?
While not all shower enclosures require a door, we highly recommend one for daily-use showers. Doorless showers can be cooler and draftier. When possible, we design enclosures to allow for future door addition without significant extra costs. If you have questions about our glass and mirror options in Chattanooga, TN, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Do frameless showers leak?
Due to their design, few frameless showers are completely watertight. Proper installation is crucial, starting with correct slope/pitch of the tile curb or floor. A frameless shower enclosure installed on a well-designed and properly installed shower opening should not have leakage issues. As experienced bath remodelers in Chattanooga, TN, we can assess your shower for potential curb problems.
What finishes are available for the shower hardware?
We typically match the hardware for your frameless shower enclosure in Chattanooga, TN to your shower fixture finish. We can accommodate most shower fixture finishes and are happy to provide samples for comparison upon request.
Are there different options for door handles?
Yes, we offer a variety of handle pull and towel bar options for your frameless shower enclosure in Chattanooga, TN. We'll be pleased to show you the available choices during our consultation.
