Custom frameless glass, made for island bathrooms
Miami Beach bathrooms come in every shape — compact Art Deco studios, mid-century apartments, and glass-walled towers above the sand. What they share is unforgiving salt air and zero tolerance for a sloppy fit. We template every opening ourselves, fabricate tempered glass to the millimeter, and specify hardware that survives life on the barrier island. The result is an enclosure that seals tight, cleans in seconds and still looks sharp years later.

A crew that shows up on island time — yours, not ours
Beach logistics punish unprepared contractors. Ours plan for them:
- Freight-elevator windows and dock scheduling booked with your building in advance
- Arrival windows padded for beach traffic so you're never waiting on a no-show
- Drop cloths and daily cleanup — vintage tile and terrazzo floors protected
- Laser templating that reads out-of-square walls exactly as they are
- Pricing locked in writing before glass is cut
Why Miami Beach owners go frameless
Made for Small Baths
Vintage island bathrooms are tight. Frameless glass removes visual weight, so a five-foot bath reads larger and brighter the day we install.
Built for Salt Air
We spec PVD-coated and solid stainless hardware for oceanfront exposure, so finishes don't pit and hinges don't seize after a couple of seasons.
Fast to Keep Clean
No tracks to scrub — a squeegee pass keeps the glass clear, which matters when hard island water meets daily showers.
Shower door repair & glass replacement on the beach
Salt air, daily humidity and constant use age enclosures faster here than anywhere in the county. Seals harden, hinges pit, and one dropped bottle ends a panel. We tell you honestly which side of the repair-or-replace line you're on — and either fix costs less than you expect when templated reorders are on file.
- Leaking sweeps and bottom seals replaced with salt-rated vinyl
- Pitted or frozen hinges, handles and clamps swapped in corrosion-resistant finishes
- Doors that drift or slam — re-leveled, re-shimmed and re-hung plumb
- Caulk lines stripped and re-sealed with mildew-proof silicone
Most beach repairs are single-visit jobs. Broken tempered panels are fabricated to size in about a week — rush slots are available when a unit needs to be guest-ready.
Where we work in Miami Beach
Every pocket of the island has its own bathrooms. These are the ones we know best.
South of Fifth & South Pointe
Luxury towers with sweeping glass already in their DNA. Owners here upgrade builder-grade enclosures for 1/2-inch glass, low-iron panels and designer finishes — and building approvals, COIs and elevator logistics are simply part of our paperwork routine.
Flamingo Park & West Avenue
Boutique condos and low-rise apartments where bathrooms average five feet wide. Frameless tub screens and fixed-panel walk-ins open these rooms up dramatically, and we keep king-tide ground floors in mind when sealing and specifying hardware.
Art Deco District & Ocean Drive
Historic interiors where fluted and reeded glass echoes the period lines. Boards review everything, so our scope letters spell out glass type, finish and hardware in advance — approvals move faster when the packet is complete.
Mid-Beach & Millionaires Row
1960s–'80s apartment hotels reborn as condos, mixed with new towers. Original gold-anodized framed doors are at end of life everywhere here; frameless replacements with brushed nickel or matte black hardware modernize these baths overnight.
North Beach & Normandy Isles
MiMo garden apartments and family condos where value matters. Semi-frameless packages, quick repairs and bilingual crews keep this end of the island moving — same company, same standards, saner price point.
Sunset Harbour & Bay Side
Renovated low-rises and sleek new builds around the harbour retail core. Spa-style primary baths with full-height enclosures, back-lit mirrors and matching glass shelves are the signature job on these blocks.
Miami Beach housing, island bathrooms
Miami Beach housing falls into a few clear eras. The 1930s–'40s Art Deco and streamline buildings hold tiny jewel-box baths with original tile worth preserving — a slim frameless door in period-appropriate chrome or fluted glass honors them. The postwar MiMo apartment blocks came with framed sliding tub doors that salt air has been eating for seventy years; converting them to frameless tub screens or walk-in showers is our bread and butter here.
The 1960s–'80s condo corridor along Collins brought builder-grade aluminum enclosures and five-foot baths, while the new glass towers deliver open layouts with builder enclosures that owners upgrade for thicker glass and better seals the first year. Seasonal owners and short-term rental operators make up a real share of the island too — they need durable hardware, fast turnaround between guests and invoices that satisfy both accountants and condo boards.
Whatever the era, the island adds two constants: corrosive ocean air and strict building management. We fabricate to the template, spec hardware for the exposure, and handle the paperwork — so the only thing you notice is the bathroom.
- 1930s–'40s Art Deco — preservation-friendly glass, fluted and reeded options
- Postwar MiMo apartments — framed-to-frameless tub conversions
- 1960s–'80s condo corridor — enclosure replacements, salt-rated hardware
- New towers — builder-grade upgrades to 1/2-inch and low-iron glass
- Seasonal & rental units — tough finishes, fast reorders from stored templates
Board approvals, salt air and king tides
Building Board Packets
License, insurance, scope letter, hardware specs — we complete your association or historic board packet fast, so approval doesn't stall the schedule.
Oceanfront Hardware
PVD coatings and solid stainless for units that face the spray. We match finishes carefully — and tell you honestly which ones won't survive the beach.
Storm-Ready Scheduling
Hurricane season buffers built into every job. If a storm pushes your date, you're first back on the calendar — deposits stay put.
Glass work we deliver across the island
Custom frameless enclosures
Alcove, corner and walk-in showers in 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass, cut to your template with the finish you choose — corrosion-resistant hardware standard on island jobs.
Frameless sliding systems
Bypass and barn-style doors for bathrooms where a swing can't clear the vanity — the norm in vintage island layouts. Full frameless look, zero swing footprint.
Tub screens & conversions
Keep the tub and lose the curtain with a frameless screen, or convert to a walk-in shower we close in with glass. Two-week turnarounds are typical.
Same-week repairs
Sweeps, seals, hinges, rollers and re-hangs — most repairs finish in one visit, with rush fabrication when a broken panel has a booking breathing down its neck.
Balcony railings & partitions
Glass railings for balconies and stairs plus interior partitions for condo home offices — installed by the same crews, coordinated in one visit where possible.
Vanity mirrors & shelving
Back-lit and beveled mirrors cut to your wall with glass shelves to match — usually installed the same visit as your enclosure.
From first call to final squeegee
1
The call
Tell us your building and what you need. Classic repair symptoms get phone quotes; custom work gets a free in-home measure scheduled around elevator windows.
2
The template
We digitize the opening, check plumb on walls that have settled for decades, photograph tile and confirm hardware placement before ordering.
3
Fabrication
Glass cut, edged, tempered and coated — typically five to seven business days, rush options when a guest or closing date is close.
4
Installation
One visit, two to four hours, broom-clean. We walk the job together and register your warranty before we leave the building.
Glass, style & hardware choices for island bathrooms
These are the decisions Miami Beach clients weigh on every project, with the honest trade-offs of each.
Clear, low-iron or fluted glass
Clear tempered glass carries a slight green edge that shows against white marble; low-iron glass is water-white and disappears, which is why it dominates tower renovations. Fluted and reeded patterns nod to Art Deco interiors while adding privacy — a natural pairing for the historic districts. Satin-etched glass reads spa-calm in primary baths.
3/8-inch or 1/2-inch glass
Three-eighths is the proven frameless standard and right for most doors. Half-inch adds quiet, stiffness and a vault-solid latch feel — worth it on tall panels and wide fixed glass. Both are fully tempered safety glass; the difference is feel, not safety.
Finishes that survive the ocean
On the beach, finish selection is chemistry, not just color. PVD-coated brushed golds and matte blacks, solid stainless, and quality chrome hold up; certain plated lines pit within seasons of ocean exposure — we'll name them and steer you away. Solid-brass hinge bodies are standard on everything we sell.
Coatings for hard island water
Island water spots and etches glass fast, especially in units that sit closed up between visits. Factory hydrophobic coatings let scale wipe off instead of bonding — a small upcharge that pays for itself the first season.
Fixed panels in tight layouts
In five-foot vintage baths, a fixed panel with a small swinging return often beats a full door: nothing to swing, nothing to bang, water contained. We model the layout with you at the measure so the choice is obvious before we cut.
Privacy where units share walls
Adjoining baths and open-plan studios make privacy glass worthwhile. Gradient frost, full satin and fluted patterns keep daylight moving while keeping life discreet — all fabricated in tempered versions here.
High-Rise Logistics, Art Deco Charm
Two kinds of history — and we install in both.
Miami Beach renovations live and die by logistics. The tower buildings along Collins and West Avenue each carry their own rulebook: certificates of insurance filed in advance, freight-elevator windows reserved weeks out, protective floor covering from lobby to unit, and quiet-hours restrictions that can compress an install into a tight morning. None of it is a problem when the contractor has done it a hundred times — and our office has. We prepare the building packet before fabrication begins so install day is glass, crew, done.
The Art Deco district works differently. Behind the pastel facades are bathrooms from the 1930s and ’40s, small and full of character, often with walls that have shifted gently over nine decades. These rooms reject stock sizes outright. Custom-cut panels, narrow profiles and careful anchoring let the glass honor the architecture instead of fighting it — and in a historic building, the difference shows every single day.
Salt is the constant on both sides of the island. Hardware within sight of the ocean lives a harder life than hardware inland, so we bring corrosion-resistant finishes to every beach estimate and recommend maintenance routines — fresh-water track rinses, seasonal hardware checks — that stretch enclosure life by years. The same van stocks the rollers and sweeps this climate eats fastest.
Timing matters here too. Season runs strong through winter, condo boards tighten access around Art Basel and spring break, and summer becomes the smart renovator’s window. Plan with us in spring, install in the calm, and greet the season with glass that photographs as well as it performs.
Why Frameless Reads Bigger on the Island
Small bathrooms, clear glass, instant square footage.
Miami Beach bathrooms are small by continental standards — pre-war footprints, efficiency condos, guest baths in the sunset-tinted apartment blocks. Clear glass is the oldest trick in island design for exactly that reason: it removes the visual wall a framed door builds. A frameless panel at the tub line lets tile, mirror and light run unbroken, and the room measures the same but feels twice as deep. Realtors photograph it that way on purpose.
The effect compounds with mirrors. Pair a frameless enclosure with a wall-to-wall vanity mirror and the bathroom stops apologizing for its square footage. We cut both from the same visit’s measurements, so the mirror edge lines up with the glass line — a small alignment that separates a planned room from an assembled one.
Sliding systems earn their keep here too. Where a hinged door would swing into a sink or a towel bar, a slim bypass slider keeps every inch working. Modern top-ride hardware hides the track above the frame, so the door glides on clean glass with nothing clunky at tub level — the space savings of a slider with nearly the look of frameless.
Whether your address is a studio off Lincoln Road or a three-bath on North Bay Road, the arithmetic is the same and so is the offer: measured to the real room, installed by our own crew, warranted in writing, quoted free before anything is ordered.
Miami Beach FAQ
Yes — an ocean-facing unit corrodes standard plated finishes years faster than one inland. We steer oceanfront clients to PVD-coated and solid stainless hardware, which shrug off salt, and we avoid certain plated lines entirely on the beach. Solid-brass hinge bodies come standard on every job we sell.
Regularly. Historic and condominium boards both want the same packet — license, insurance, scope letter and hardware specs — and we turn it around fast. On exterior-visible changes we spell out glass type and finish in writing so the board sees exactly what will be installed.
That is exactly what it does. Frameless glass removes the visual weight of metal framing, so a 5-by-8-foot bath reads larger and brighter. In tight vintage layouts we often use a fixed panel with a swinging return instead of a full door — the room feels open and there is no swing clearance to fight.
Tell us at the estimate. Ground-floor units in flood-prone zones benefit from hardware rated for humidity exposure, generous silicone sealing and sweeps that can be replaced cheaply after years of moisture. We also keep fabrication records so a storm-damaged panel can be reordered without a new measure visit.
It is routine for us: we reserve elevator windows with building management, badge in at the dock and stage the install so the crew is in and out inside the reserved block. Beach traffic is real, so we pad arrival windows — you will not be waiting on a no-show crew.
Yes. Semi-frameless packages with tough hardware stand up to renters and housekeepers, and we stock the common sizes so replacements are quick. Many owners of seasonal units choose coated glass for the same reason — less scrubbing between guests.
Fluted and reeded glass is a natural fit for Art Deco and MiMo interiors and we fabricate it in tempered safety versions. It gives privacy with light and echoes the period lines — a favorite on vintage Miami Beach remodels where clear glass feels too modern.
Panels are tempered to size, so figure five to seven business days from measure. If a booking or guest arrival is close, say so — we hold rush fabrication slots, and having your original template on file speeds reorders dramatically.
