An enclosure is more than a door. It is every panel around the opening, cut to work together: a corner unit, a neo-angle, a door with a fixed panel beside it, or a long walk-in screen. In Paramus, where additions and dormers left a lot of showers slightly off square, that templating is the whole job. Everything starts with a free in-home measure.
Enclosures come in a handful of layouts, and the walls decide which one you get. A corner unit wraps two panels around a square shower. A neo-angle cuts the corner at an angle with three pieces of glass meeting over the pan. An inline setup pairs a swinging door with a fixed panel to cover a wider opening. A walk-in uses one long panel and no door at all. We measure first, then pick.
With the layout settled, everything after it is measurement. We check every corner for square, read the slope of the pan, note where a knee wall stops and where a sloped ceiling starts, and mark the exact spot each hinge and clamp will land. The glass is 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered, fabricated in our Lodi shop to those measurements, and our own crew hangs it. Nothing about it is a stock kit.
Paramus lots run bigger than they do in the county's older, denser towns, and homeowners here have used that room. Split-levels get a rear addition, capes get dormered upstairs, and a primary suite ends up carved out of space that was never drawn as a bathroom. What that leaves is a shower footprint with an angle in it, a knee wall along one side, or a ceiling that drops right where the door needs to swing.
Those are the openings a custom enclosure is for. A neo-angle takes the corner that got cut off. A notched panel goes around the knee wall instead of stopping short of it. A fixed panel with a shorter door keeps the swing clear of the vanity. We work out which one fits at the measure, in your bathroom, with a tape on the actual walls, and nothing gets cut until the layout is settled.

Our main showroom is at 80 Industrial Rd, Lodi, NJ 07644, about a 10 minute drive from Paramus, open Monday to Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 9 to 4. Call (201) 460-1313 and we will have layouts, glass and hardware finishes out when you arrive. We also keep a showroom at 108 Greenwood Ave in Midland Park, by appointment, roughly 20 minutes away.
There is no flat number, and anyone giving you one over the phone is guessing. Price moves with glass thickness, 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch, the size and number of panels, the hardware finish you pick, and whether you want low-iron glass or the protective easy-clean coating. We measure for free, then hand you a firm itemized quote. Monthly payment options are available if you want them.
The measure itself is quick and costs nothing. From there your panels are fabricated in our Lodi shop, usually about one to two weeks, because everything is cut to your numbers rather than pulled off a shelf. Install is normally a single visit. If the bath is still being tiled, we template after the tile and pan are finished, so plan the measure around your tile date.
That is a neo-angle, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. Three panels meet over the pan, two fixed with a door between them, and the corner posts are set to the exact angle your walls actually make. Since that angle is rarely a clean 45 degrees in a house that has been added onto, we template it instead of ordering a standard unit.
Not at all. A knee wall is a normal condition in a dormered upstairs bath, and glass handles it well. We can set a fixed panel on top of the wall with clamps sized for it, notch a taller panel around it, or run the door off a post anchored into it. What matters is what is inside that wall to anchor to, and we check that at the measure.
Glass is what we do, all of it in house: fabrication in our Lodi shop and installation by our own crew, never subcontracted. Your tile setter and plumber finish their part first, then we template to the finished walls and pan. If you are still choosing a layout, tell us early. It is far easier to plan a pan and a curb around the glass than to work around them later.
