Sliding and Bypass Shower Doors in Nashville

Sliding doors move along a track, so they need no swing space, which makes them ideal for tubs, tight baths and busy bathrooms.

About Sliding and Bypass Doors

No swing, no problem: space-saving glass that glides

Bypass doors have two panels that slide past each other on rollers, and they are a favorite over tubs and in small baths because they never swing into the room.

Frameless sliders, with thick glass on a clean top track, give a modern look. We help you choose roller quality, track style, handles and finishes and set the door level so it glides smoothly.

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.

Questions About Sliding and Bypass Doors

Are sliding doors good for small bathrooms?

Yes. They need no swing space, so they are often the best choice for tight baths and tubs.

Do bypass doors leak?

A good sliding door is well sealed with sweeps and overlap, though the gap between panels is part of the design. We explain what to expect.
