Introduction
We recently completed a high-quality steam shower door installation for a residential steam room in Manhattan. This upgrade included a full-height clear tempered glass enclosure with a custom tilted transom window for steam release, bringing elegance and functionality to the space.
Client Vision
The client approached us with the goal of converting their standard shower enclosure into a proper steam room. They requested a custom-built steam shower door that would extend all the way to the ceiling for better heat and steam retention. Additionally, they needed a tilted transom window with a knob to easily release steam when desired.
Why Choose Clear Tempered Glass for Steam Showers
Clear tempered glass is ideal for steam shower enclosures due to its strength, safety, and clarity. Manufactured with a special heat treatment process, tempered glass is significantly more durable than regular glass and shatters safely into small pieces if ever broken. Its clarity enhances the visual openness of the room while maintaining privacy through steam buildup. Plus, it’s easy to clean and resistant to moisture damage—perfect for a steam environment.
Solution Provided
Our solution involved taking precise measurements of the existing shower space to design a custom wall-to-wall glass enclosure that reached up to the ceiling. We fabricated a 3/8″ thick clear tempered glass panel made in Canada, ensuring strength and clarity. A specially crafted tilted transom window with a user-friendly knob was incorporated into the top section, allowing the client to manually control steam ventilation.
Installation Details
The fabrication process was completed in just seven days. On the day of installation, our expert team arrived to precisely align and install the glass panels and transom window. The work was completed in one day, with a focus on achieving a clean, sealed fit from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, ensuring maximum efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
Impact on the Space
The transformation was dramatic. The new steam shower door added a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere to the bathroom. The floor-to-ceiling design enhanced heat retention while the tilted transom window provided convenient steam control. Overall, the installation brought both functional improvement and sleek visual appeal, greatly increasing the value and comfort of the space.
