Can a Shower Enclosure Kit Really Look Custom? A Glenshaw Glass Shop Says Yes

The short answer: yes. A shower enclosure kit can deliver a clean, upscale glass look without the price tag of a fully custom build. Boulevard Glass & Metal, a family-owned glass shop in Glenshaw, carries eight premium product lines designed to give Pittsburgh-area homeowners the polished results they want at a price that makes sense.

Two Systems, One Goal: A Better Shower

Boulevard Glass & Metal organizes its shower enclosure kits into two distinct approaches.

The first is a prefabricated custom sliding system, a zero-clearance option engineered for bathrooms where door swing isn't possible. For the tight bathroom footprints common throughout Glenshaw, Shaler, and Pittsburgh's north hills, these sliding systems are a practical and polished solution. Sliders are furnished and installed starting as low as $1,100.

The second option is a semi-frameless enclosure kit built to work with fiberglass and acrylic surrounds, including walls that aren't perfectly plumb or square. That detail matters in Western PA: older Pittsburgh-area homes rarely have perfectly even walls, and most standard enclosures aren't designed for that reality. Semi-frameless kits are furnished and installed starting as low as $1,200.

Finishes and Glass That Feel Custom

Both systems come with enough options to feel genuinely personalized. Finish choices include matte black, brushed nickel, chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze. Glass options include clear, frosted, patterned, and cast.

Mix and match to suit existing hardware or set a new tone, a modern spa feel with matte black and frosted glass, or a classic update with chrome and clear panels.

Professional Installation With a Lifetime Warranty

This isn't a big-box kit you piece together yourself. Boulevard Glass & Metal handles precise measurements, professional installation, and backs every job with HMI's limited lifetime warranty. The team serves communities across Western PA, including Fox Chapel, Gibsonia, Glenshaw, and Shaler.

Why These Kits Work Well for Pittsburgh Bathrooms

Many Pittsburgh-area homes, particularly in north hills communities like Glenshaw and Shaler, were built with compact bathroom footprints. Traditional hinged shower doors need clearance to swing outward, which isn't always available. The zero-clearance sliding option addresses that directly.

Older construction also means walls that have shifted or settled over time. Semi-frameless kits designed for slightly imperfect surfaces deliver professional-looking results in bathrooms where other enclosures simply won't fit right.
