House of Glass designs, supplies, fabricates, and installs custom glass shower doors and enclosures for homeowners throughout Elmhurst, the western suburbs, and the greater Chicagoland area. Since 1975, our team has provided a complete range of custom tub and shower enclosure systems, including frameless glass shower doors, sliding shower doors, and custom configurations designed around the dimensions and style of each bathroom.

At House of Glass we only carry products of the highest quality and value. Below you will find a quick reference to some of our architectural products and services.
Every custom shower enclosure is planned around the opening, bathroom design, and desired configuration instead of using a one-size-fits-all system. House of Glass can work from technical drawings and specifications or coordinate directly with homeowners and contractors to plan door and panel placement, proportions, and other project details before fabrication.
House of Glass offers a wide range of shower door configurations, glass choices, and hardware options to complement your bathroom’s layout and design. Options include frameless doors, U-channel systems, header and return panel configurations, barn-style sliding doors, acid-etched glass, and other custom layouts. Complete the enclosure with hinges, pulls, towel bars, channels, headers, and shower seals in finishes like chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brass, and select custom finishes.
Getting started is simple. Share a few basic measurements, photos of your shower opening, and your preferred hardware finish, and House of Glass can often provide an initial quote in a day or less. Once you’re ready to move forward, our team visits your home to take precise final measurements, confirm the layout and selections, and finalize the details before fabrication and professional installation.
Wall construction, curb angles, door swing, shower head placement, tile conditions, drainage, and the size and height of the opening all influence the right enclosure configuration. House of Glass helps identify these considerations early, including if proper studding is available for heavy frameless doors, if walls and curbs are plumb and square, and if the design allows safe operation and proper water control.
House of Glass provides glass shower door repair and replacement for homeowners throughout Elmhurst, the western suburbs, and the greater Chicagoland area. Our team can evaluate issues such as improper fit, sealing problems, and door operation, then determine whether the existing enclosure can be corrected or whether a new custom shower door or enclosure is the better solution.
Locally owned and operated, House of Glass has built its reputation on skilled workmanship, dependable service, and long-standing customer relationships. Our highly trained professionals work both in our Elmhurst shop and on-site, bringing decades of glass expertise to each project. From design guidance through final installation, our team focuses on quality products, careful workmanship, and shower enclosures built for long-term performance.
FAQS

Our approach:
We help you choose glass based on how you actually live, not just what looks good in a showroom.
We’ll give you clear care instructions based on your specific glass type. For most glass, we recommend our CRL glass-specific cleaner.
For showers, proper cleaning habits dramatically reduce water spots and buildup. We can also discuss protective coatings that make maintenance easier over time. Due to the harsh chemicals in most commonly-used glass cleaners, we do not recommend usage of these products in showers.
Customer benefit:
Your glass should look great years from now—not just on install day.
Frameless shower enclosures, by design, cannot be guaranteed to be completely leak-free. However, proper layout and design play a major role in minimizing water escape. We take great care in evaluating each shower’s configuration and optimizing the glass layout to significantly reduce the likelihood of leaks.
