Steam Shower Enclosures in Loveland: Make the Bathroom the Warmest Room This Winter

Steam Shower Enclosures in Loveland, Sealed From Floor to Ceiling

The first real cold snap has come down off the foothills. The furnace is back on, the hallway feels like a garage, and somewhere in Loveland a person is standing under the shower ten minutes longer than they need to. Fair enough. A steam shower is the grown up version of that habit, and the glass decides whether it works. A regular frameless shower is open at the top; a steam cabin cannot be. It gets closed off with a tempered glass ceiling panel (or a sealed transition into a steam rated ceiling), gaskets at every joint so the vapor stays put, and a small transom vent over the door that stays shut during a session and opens afterward to let the cabin dry out. Most of these move up to 1/2 inch tempered glass, since the ceiling panel holds its own weight on top of the stress from every sealed seam. Corner, alcove, freestanding: the shape is flexible, the sealing is not. Call Moffat Glass in Loveland and our Evans shower department handles the glass, working the schedule around whoever is doing the generator, the plumbing, and the tile, so the enclosure goes in after the wet trades are finished and not before.

Frameless Sliding Shower Doors for Tight Loveland Bathrooms

Some bathrooms do not have room for a door that swings. Think of the hall bath where a hinged panel would catch the vanity, or the old alcove tub that is finally becoming a walk in shower. A frameless slider solves that. The glass hangs from a heavy duty top track on rollers, and a small guide at the floor keeps it lined up, so there is no bottom track holding a puddle all week. You can run one panel past a fixed glass wall or set up two that bypass each other. Most residential sliders are 3/8 inch tempered glass, and wider openings move up to 1/2 inch. Hardware comes in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, or oil rubbed bronze. Condo retrofits around Loveland and Fort Collins are a natural fit. At Moffat Glass, we template the real opening on site before cutting anything, and once the glass is ready, install day is usually just one day.

Diamon-Fusion Glass Coating Against Front Range Hard Water

Live along the Front Range for a year and you know the chalky film. It comes back on shower glass no matter how often you scrub, because the water here is harder than what people deal with on either coast and the scale builds up fast. A coating is the fix that actually holds. Diamon-Fusion bonds to the glass at a chemical level, which leaves water, soap scum, and mineral deposits very little to grab onto. It repels oil too, so fingerprints and lotion wipe off more easily. We apply it in our shop on the finished, tempered panel before anything leaves for your house, which means even coverage instead of a spray job in your bathroom. If you already like the shower you have, the panels can come out and go to the shop for treatment. We are an authorized Diamon-Fusion applicator, so our residential shower glass carries the manufacturer's lifetime residential warranty on the coating. Keep the squeegee. You will just reach for it a lot less often.

Whether it is a steam build, a slider for the hall bath, or a coating for the glass you already own, every project starts with someone measuring the opening the way it was actually built. Walls lean and curbs run a little off, and sealed steam joints leave no room for guessing. Estimates are free. Since the heavy glass is cut and tempered at a Northern Colorado shop instead of shipped in from out of state, most custom enclosures go in within one to two weeks of an approved measurement. We have been doing glass work in Northern Colorado since 1921. Our Loveland shop is at 630 W 1st Street, open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, and serves Larimer and Weld counties. Call (970) 780-4674 or reach out to Moffat Glass in Loveland to book a free measure with our shower team, and get the new shower in before the coldest part of winter arrives.
