When a Paramus bathroom is too tight for a door to swing, sliding glass is the answer. Two panels bypass each other on a slim top track, so nothing arcs into the room. We build them for narrow alcoves and over tubs alike, cut to your exact opening. It starts with a free in-home measure, and our Lodi showroom is minutes south.
A sliding door, sometimes called a bypass, runs two glass panels on a single track so they slide past each other instead of opening outward. That means no door swinging into a vanity, a toilet or the towel bar, which is the whole point in a small room. We use the same heavy tempered safety glass as our frameless work, so the panels feel solid, not flimsy, and the track sits low-profile across the top.
Bypass doors are the right call for a wide alcove opening and for glass over a tub, where a swinging door either will not fit or is not safe. You still choose the glass and the hardware: standard clear or low-iron ultra-clear, the optional easy-clean coating, and a track and handle finish from our fifteen options. We fabricate in our own shop, and most installs are wrapped up in a single visit once the glass is ready.
The original bathrooms in Paramus capes, ranches and split-levels tend to be compact, a single hall bath with the sink, toilet and tub packed close together. Swing a shower door into that and it clips the vanity every time. A bypass door solves it because the glass never leaves the plane of the opening. For the many homes here still working with a tub in the main bath, sliding glass gives it a clean, finished enclosure without touching the rest of the room.
You do not have to come to us to get started. We measure in the home across Paramus, so we see the real opening, the tub height and how much room you have before anything is quoted. If you would rather see the glass and finishes first, the Lodi showroom is about ten minutes south, open Saturday nine to four, which helps in a county where the stores are closed on Sunday. Either way the measure is free.

Yes. Our main showroom and shop is at 80 Industrial Road in Lodi, roughly ten minutes south of Paramus, open Monday to Friday nine to five and Saturday nine to four. You can slide real track samples, compare clear and low-iron glass, and see the fifteen finishes. Call or text (201) 460-1313 before you drive over and we will have someone ready to talk through your opening.
It depends on your opening, so we do not post a flat rate. The price follows the width of the alcove, the glass thickness and type, and the track and handle finish you pick. A wider opening needs more glass, low-iron costs a bit more than standard, and finishes vary. We give you a firm, itemized quote after a free in-home measure, and monthly payment options are available.
Plan on about one to two weeks. We start with the free measure and template, then cut the glass and prep the track in our own Lodi shop, which is the part that sets the timeline. The install itself is normally one visit. Alcoves and tub openings are quick to fit once the glass is ready, so if you have a date in mind for Paramus, tell us and we will aim for it.
Almost always. Bypass doors were made for tub openings, where a swinging door has nowhere to go. We set the panels on a track that spans the alcove so they glide side to side, safe and out of the way. At the measure we check the tub height, the wall condition and the exact width, then build the glass to match. It is one of the most common jobs we do in older Paramus baths.
In a tight room, usually yes. A swinging door needs clear floor space to open, and in a compact postwar hall bath that space is often taken by the vanity or toilet. A bypass door never swings out, so you get the full glass enclosure without losing an inch of floor. If the layout is unusual, we will tell you honestly at the measure which door works best for the room.
Yes. Today's sliding doors are a long way from the aluminum framed sliders in a lot of Paramus homes. We build them in heavy tempered glass on a slim, low-profile track, with the framing kept minimal so the look stays open and current. You still get the no-swing convenience, just without the bulky rusted frame. We will show you the difference against your old door at the measure.
