Transoms, headers and cabinet glass in Walterhill

A header is a bar across the top of the enclosure, and a transom is a glass panel above the door. Both are styles Shower Doors of Nashville offers on frameless enclosures, alongside the glass-to-glass hinged door it builds most often.

The enclosure itself is 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered glass with minimal hardware, measured and built for the opening. Whether a Walterhill bath gets a header, a transom or neither is decided at the free in-home consultation, along with the glass type and the hardware finish. The frameless shower doors page shows the styles.

Headers and hinges come in a variety of finishes, so the metal can match the faucet: matte black, brushed nickel, chrome, brass or gold, or oil-rubbed bronze. On a header style, that bar runs the full width of the enclosure, so its finish shows more than a hinge does.

Yes. Frosted, patterned, obscure and antique-style glass fits kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, hutches and built-ins, and colored inserts work in kitchen cabinets, pantry doors and decorative windows.

The panels can be changed out at any time, which makes cabinet glass an easy update when a kitchen is repainted or a bath is redone. Frosted glass in a vanity cabinet hides what’s stored there. The cabinet and door glass page shows the range.

Antique-style glass suits an older hutch or built-in, and colored inserts give a kitchen one accent without a full remodel. Walterhill cabinet glass is measured at the house, like a shower door, and quoted after the consultation. A shower enclosure and cabinet glass for the same bathroom can be raised on one call to 615.431.5070.

Because the showroom is a long way off. Walterhill is 28.3 miles from the Hendersonville showroom in a straight line and 27.6 miles from downtown Nashville, so the shop and the city are about equally far.

The in-home consultation brings the decisions to you. It’s free and can usually be booked within a few days by calling 615.431.5070 on a weekday. Walterhill is a census-designated community in Rutherford County, the county it shares with Murfreesboro and Smyrna, and its jobs follow the same timeline: about two to three weeks from the final measure to installation day.

Walterhill is one of four Rutherford County places on our list, with La Vergne alongside Murfreesboro and Smyrna. All four get the same free consultation and the same installers.
