Most Bengaluru homes ask us for this shower style. A single run of toughened glass goes from one wall to the other, with a hinged glass door in the run. Toughened glass is safety glass. Water stays on the shower side. Your towels, the geyser switch and the rest of the bathroom stay dry. It suits bathrooms where the shower sits along one full wall. We measure, give you a written price, and fit it with our own team.
Where a straight partition with a door works best
In a bathroom where the shower area runs along one wall, and there is a clear wall opposite for the glass to land on. This is the most common bathroom layout in Bengaluru flats, which is why we are asked for this enclosure most.
It needs one thing to work well: room for the door to swing. A hinged door opens outward into the dry half of the bathroom. So it must not hit the washbasin, the WC or the entrance door.
We check that at the measuring visit. If the swing is tight, a sliding door is usually the better answer. We will say so, rather than fit something that will annoy you every day.
The glass, the seal and the fittings
The partition is toughened glass, normally 10mm or 12mm, depending on the height and width of the panels. The glass is toughened after cutting. So if it ever breaks, it breaks into small blunt bits, not sharp pieces. At these thicknesses the panel does not bend when the door closes.
Frameless means there is no aluminium box around the glass. The fixed panel is fixed to the wall and the floor. The door hangs on chrome wall-to-glass hinges, chosen for the weight of the panel. A chrome knob or handle finishes it.
Sealing decides whether an enclosure leaks. We run an anti-fungal, bathroom-grade silicone along the whole edge: at both walls, and along the floor line, wherever glass meets tile. Normal silicone turns dark fast in a warm, damp bathroom. The anti-fungal grade holds up far better.
The fittings carry the maker's warranty, and we give a warranty on our own fitting work.
From your enquiry to your first dry-floor shower
Send a photo of the bathroom and the width of the opening. For a shower, a photo tells us most of what we need. It even tells us whether a door has room to swing.
We usually call back the same day with a rough range. Then we measure once your tiling is finished. This point is important. The enclosure is made to the finished tile face, not to the wall behind it.
You get a written price. Once you agree, an advance covers the materials. Cutting, drilling and toughening the glass takes a few working days.
Fitting a single enclosure is half a day to a day. Then do not use the shower for about a day, so the silicone sets well before water reaches it.
What moves the price above ₹850 per sq ft
Most bathrooms are small, usually 30 to 45 sq ft of glass. This is the main reason they sit near the top of the range. The hinges, the handle and the seals cost the same whether the panel is large or small. So on a small area they make up more of the price.
After that: glass thickness on a tall panel, any frosting or tinting, and a black or brushed finish instead of chrome.
How easy the bathroom is to reach also matters. A ground floor bathroom is a quicker job than a twelfth floor flat, where the panel goes up in a booked service lift.
The written price shows the glass, the fittings and the fitting work on their own lines, so none of this is hidden.
