Frameless shower doors across Franklin
Hinged doors and barn-door sliders for Franklin baths, from Westhaven to Leiper’s Fork. The city’s own water averaged 167 ppm of hardness in 2023, which matters for glass.
TL;DR
Shower Doors of Nashville installs frameless glass-to-glass shower enclosures and barn-door sliders across Franklin, from Westhaven, Cool Springs and Berry Farms to Leiper’s Fork and historic downtown. Franklin Water Management’s own water averaged 167 ppm of hardness in 2023, ranging from 87 to 249, so Guardian ShowerGuard coating is worth considering. Franklin is 30 miles from our Hendersonville showroom; the consultation is free and in your home.
How hard is Franklin’s water, and what does it mean for glass?
Franklin’s own water averaged 167 ppm of hardness in 2023, with readings from 87 to 249, according to Franklin Water Management’s 2023 water quality report. The city draws from the Harpeth River and its 114-million-gallon reservoir and blends in water from Harpeth Valley.
Those minerals dry onto shower glass, and without a coating the company’s Franklin FAQ puts it simply: “Middle Tennessee water will leave permanent spotting over time.” We’re a registered Guardian ShowerGuard dealer. ShowerGuard’s coating protects the glass from hard water as well as heat, humidity, soap and cleaning agents, and it’s the upgrade most worth asking about in Franklin. See it on the glass and hardware options page.
The glass type is chosen at the free consultation, so ShowerGuard can be priced next to standard clear before you decide.
Which shower door style fits an older Franklin home?
In older Franklin homes with tighter bathrooms, a barn-door slider often fits where a swinging door can’t. The company’s Franklin page named it as common in secondary baths and “in the tighter footprints of older Franklin homes,” because the door slides instead of swinging into the vanity.
Where there’s room, the glass-to-glass hinged enclosure is the style the company builds most often. The door hinges off a fixed glass panel, so it can sit in the center of the enclosure, and the 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered glass needs no metal frame. Both styles are on the frameless shower doors page.
Barn-door sliders come in the Cambridge Series, with a round header, and the Serenity Series, with a rectangular one. The hinges and handles can be matte black, brushed nickel, chrome, brass or oil-rubbed bronze.

Answers
Franklin questions
What hardness does Franklin Water Management report?
Franklin’s own water averaged 167 ppm of hardness in 2023, ranging from 87 to 249, per Franklin Water Management’s report. The city draws from the Harpeth River and its reservoir, blended with Harpeth Valley water. Guardian ShowerGuard coated glass is built to resist the spotting those minerals leave.
Do you install in Westhaven and Leiper’s Fork?
Yes. Westhaven and Leiper’s Fork are both on our list of Franklin neighborhoods, along with Cool Springs, Berry Farms, Fieldstone Farms, Ladd Park, McKay’s Mill, Sullivan Farms, Grassland and historic downtown. A free in-home consultation in any of them is usually available within a few days.
Why do older Franklin bathrooms often get barn-door sliders?
Older Franklin homes tend to have tighter bathroom footprints, where a swinging door would hit the vanity. A barn-door slider uses one heavy sliding panel and one fixed panel on exposed rollers, so it needs no swing room. Cambridge and Serenity are the two series.
Is Franklin too far from Hendersonville for a free consultation?
No. Franklin is 30 miles from our Hendersonville showroom in a straight line, and the consultation is still free and in your home, usually within a few days. Call 615.431.5070. The glass is fabricated in about two to three weeks after the final measure.
