About Free Measure and Templating

Great glass starts with great measurements

Tempered glass cannot be cut once it is made, so measurements must be right. We check width and height in several places, test walls for plumb and note tile, curb and fixtures before we order a thing.

For unusual layouts we make a template of the opening. You get a clear scope and a design that fits, and we answer your questions about style, glass and finish along the way.

01

Several measurements

Check the Opening

We measure width at several heights and the height at several points, since walls are rarely perfectly square.

The Process

How We Work With You

01

Free Measure

Call 615-357-7797 or send the form. We visit, check the walls, curb and tile and measure the opening carefully, including out-of-plumb walls.

02

Choose Glass and Hardware

We help you compare door styles, glass types, thickness, finishes and handles and settle on a design that suits the bath.

03

Fabricate and Install

Your glass is made to the measurements, then installed with hardware set level, plumb and sealed where needed.

04

Final Check and Care Tips

We test the door, check every seal and hinge with you and explain how to keep the glass looking new.

Every door and enclosure is measured and confirmed with a visit before glass is made, and building and code requirements depend on your property and location. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.

Questions About Free Measure and Templating

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

Is the measure really free?

Yes. We measure and talk through your options at no charge.

Can I measure myself?

You can use our Opening Measurement Helper for a starting point, and we confirm on site because exact measurements are essential.

Why does plumb matter?

Walls that lean change how a door hangs and seals. We plan hardware and gaps to suit your actual walls.
