3/8″ or 1/2″ shower glass for Graball
Graball is 16 miles from our Hendersonville showroom and almost 29 from downtown Nashville. The first decision on a door there is usually the glass thickness.
TL;DR
Shower Doors of Nashville installs frameless shower doors and cuts custom mirrors in Graball, a census-designated community in Sumner County 16 straight-line miles from the Hendersonville showroom and 28.9 from downtown Nashville. Shower glass comes in 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered; mirrors in 1/8″ or 1/4″. The consultation is free and in-home, and installation follows about two to three weeks after the final measure.
Should a Graball shower door be 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch glass?
Either works for a frameless door, and the choice comes down to look, weight and budget. Shower Doors of Nashville builds frameless enclosures from 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered glass; in both, the heavy glass carries the structure, so no metal frame is needed.
1/2″ glass is heavier and more substantial in the hand. 3/8″ is the lighter of the two. Thickness is one of the four things that set a shower door’s price, along with the size of the opening, the glass type and the hardware finish, so it’s worth pricing both at the Graball consultation. The frameless shower doors page explains the styles.
Door placement matters as much as thickness. A glass-to-glass hinge lets the door hang from a fixed panel and sit in the center of the opening, and the door swings both ways.
Can you make a mirror to go with a new Graball shower?
Yes. Mirrors are cut in 1/8″ or 1/4″ glass to the size of the wall, in a range of colors and antique finishes, framed or frameless with a beveled edge, for use over a vanity, full length, on a door or as decoration.
Matching the shower and the mirror is mostly about the edge and the metal. A frameless beveled mirror suits a frameless shower, and a framed one can pick up the finish of the shower hardware. The custom mirrors page has the options.
Mirrors are measured at the house like everything else, so a Graball vanity mirror can be sized at the same consultation as the shower. The colored and antique finishes also suit a decorative piece for a hall or bedroom.
How does scheduling work for a Graball home?
By phone, on weekdays. Graball is 16 miles from 103 Tennessee Way in a straight line, nearly 13 miles closer than downtown Nashville, and it’s a census-designated community in Sumner County, the showroom’s county.
Call 615.431.5070 on a weekday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and a free in-home consultation can usually be set within a few days. After the final measure, the glass takes about two to three weeks and the install 1 to 5 hours. Gallatin and New Deal are nearby places on our list.
Before the visit, it helps to know which finish your faucet wears and whether you’d like clear, UltraClear or a privacy glass. Those choices, with the thickness, decide the design and the price.
