What a great forum, and lots of great fixture information on the website itself!
We are completing two bathroom installations for a second floor addition. One bath has a 48 inch acrylic shower stall which will be fitted with framed glass bypass doors. Because of an architectural feature, we wanted a custom glass panel height (80 inches). The $550 quote for this work seemed reasonable, and we've ordered the installation. (It won't be in for a couple of weeks).
The master bath shower is also 48 inches wide, but is an acrylic base, with a tile surround. The intent is to have a frameless glass enclosure (two walls with a swing door), and the glass "return" sitting on the tub deck. (The tub deck and the shower are at 90 degrees to each other - common layout). The quote for this (standard height) enclosure is somewhat breath-taking at $2400. I realize these frameless enclosures are expensive, but this seemed high.
Does anyone have any advice on: (1) whether a "framed" enclosure would be significantly less expensive for this shower and (2) a reliable shower enclosure supplier in the Seattle WA area who might offer better prices?
Thanks very much.
