Shower Doors Fixing
A shower door needs to do more than look good. It should open and close comfortably, fit the available space, work correctly with the surrounding glass and help keep water within the shower area.
IST Works L.L.C provides shower door installation in Dubai for apartments, villas and other residential and commercial properties. We supply and install made-to-measure glass shower doors, including swing, sliding and frameless designs, based on the actual bathroom dimensions.
Whether you are planning a new shower enclosure or want to replace an existing shower door, our team can help with measurement, glass selection, hardware and professional fitting.
Customized swing and sliding glass designs typically range from approximately AED 1,000 to AED 2,500, depending on the dimensions, glass specification, hardware and configuration.
Send us a clear photo and approximate width × height for a faster initial estimate.
Custom Glass Shower Door Installation in Dubai
A shower door cannot always be selected from a standard size.
Bathroom openings vary after tiles, shower trays, partitions and other finishes have been installed. Even a small difference in measurement can affect the alignment and operation of a custom glass door.
Our shower door installations are therefore planned according to the individual bathroom.
We consider the opening width and height, available movement space, shower position, existing glass panels, nearby sanitary fixtures and the type of opening required before confirming the design.
This helps determine whether a swing shower door, sliding glass door or another customized configuration is suitable.
Types of Shower Doors We Install
Swing Shower Glass Doors
A swing shower door provides a simple opening mechanism and works particularly well where there is enough clearance for comfortable door movement.
Depending on the design, the door may be connected to a wall or suitable fixed glass panel using the appropriate hinges and hardware.
Before fabrication, we check the available opening space and nearby fixtures.
A swing door should not interfere with the vanity, toilet, bathtub or other bathroom elements when opening.
Sliding Shower Glass Doors
A sliding shower door can be a practical choice where space outside the shower is limited.
Instead of swinging outward, the door moves along a sliding system. This can make it particularly useful in compact apartment bathrooms.
The complete installation may include fixed and moving glass panels together with tracks, rollers, handles, guides and related hardware.
Correct measurement and alignment are important for smooth operation.
Frameless Shower Doors
Frameless shower doors are commonly selected for contemporary bathrooms where a minimal appearance is preferred.
Instead of surrounding the glass with heavy framing, the installation uses glass together with carefully selected hinges, brackets, channels and other hardware.
Frameless configurations can include both swing and suitable sliding systems depending on the bathroom layout.
Shower Doors With Fixed Glass Panels
Not every shower entrance consists of a door alone.
A wider opening may require one or more fixed glass panels together with the operating door.
This allows the enclosure dimensions to be customized while positioning the entrance where it is most practical.
Corner Shower Doors
Where a shower occupies the corner of a bathroom, glass may be required on two sides.
A corner configuration can combine fixed panels with a swing or sliding entrance depending on the available dimensions.
Customized Shower Door Designs
Bathrooms with unusual dimensions or specific interior designs may require a customized configuration.
Instead of trying to adapt a standard enclosure to the space, we can assess the opening and determine an appropriate arrangement of fixed and moving glass panels.

What Affects Shower Door Installation Cost?
Door Size
Larger doors and glass panels require more material and may require different hardware.
Swing or Sliding Mechanism
A swing door uses hinges, while a sliding system can require tracks, rollers, guides and additional components.
The hardware configuration therefore affects the overall cost.
Glass Specification
The appropriate glass specification and thickness depend on the dimensions and shower-door configuration.
Number of Glass Panels
A single door installation has different material requirements from a complete enclosure incorporating multiple fixed and moving panels.
Hardware Selection
Hinges, handles, brackets, tracks, rollers and other fittings vary according to design and specification.
Existing Bathroom Conditions
Walls, tiles, shower curbs, existing glass and nearby fixtures can influence the installation method.
Custom Requirements
Special dimensions, layouts and configurations may require additional fabrication or hardware.

Swing vs Sliding Shower Door – Which Should You Choose?
One of the most common decisions when planning a shower enclosure is whether to choose a swing or sliding glass door.
Neither option is automatically better. The right choice depends primarily on the bathroom layout.
Choose a Swing Shower Door When:
There is enough clearance around the entrance for the door to move comfortably.
Swing doors can provide a simple, clean appearance and are suitable for many frameless shower designs.
The position of the toilet, vanity and other fixtures should be considered before deciding on the opening direction.
Choose a Sliding Shower Door When:
Space outside the shower entrance is limited or a swinging door would interfere with nearby fixtures.
Because the moving panel slides rather than opening outward, this configuration can work particularly well in smaller bathrooms.
However, sufficient width is needed to accommodate the fixed and sliding sections of the system.
Still Unsure?
A bathroom photo and approximate dimensions can often tell us which configuration is worth considering.

Installing a Shower Door in an Existing Bathroom
You do not necessarily need to renovate the complete bathroom to install a new glass shower door.
In many cases, shower glass can be designed around an existing finished bathroom.
Before confirming the installation, we assess relevant details such as:
- Finished wall-to-wall opening
- Existing tiles
- Shower floor or tray
- Existing fixed glass
- Nearby sanitary fixtures
- Available opening clearance
- Suitable fixing positions
Where custom fabrication is required, final measurements are confirmed before the glass is prepared.
Shower Door Replacement in Dubai
An existing shower door may eventually need replacement because of damaged glass, worn hardware, alignment issues or a planned bathroom update.
If you want to replace an existing shower door, send us photographs showing the complete enclosure and hardware.
We can assess whether the replacement should follow the existing configuration or whether a different arrangement would be more suitable.
The existing opening should be measured before replacement glass is fabricated.
Can We Replace Only the Shower Door?
Depending on the condition and compatibility of the existing enclosure, replacing only the door may sometimes be possible.
However, this needs to be assessed rather than assumed.
The existing fixed glass, hinge positions, dimensions and hardware need to be compatible with the proposed replacement.
If the existing system cannot safely or practically accommodate the new door, a different solution may be recommended.
Tempered Glass for Shower Doors
Tempered safety glass is commonly used for shower-door applications.
The appropriate thickness is not determined by appearance alone. Panel dimensions, hardware, support points and overall design should also be considered.
Glass specifications are therefore confirmed according to the individual shower-door configuration.
Shower Door Hardware
The performance of a shower door depends heavily on its hardware.
Depending on the design, an installation may use:
- Glass hinges
- Door handles
- Wall brackets
- Glass-to-glass fittings
- U-channels
- Support bars
- Sliding tracks
- Rollers
- Door guides
- Seals and related fittings
Hardware should be selected according to the glass and door configuration rather than simply because a particular fitting looks attractive.
A correctly matched glass-and-hardware system helps the door operate as intended.
Shower Door Measurement
Accurate measurement is one of the most important stages of a custom shower door installation.
Finished bathroom openings are not always perfectly square. Walls can vary slightly from top to bottom, particularly after tiling.
For this reason, custom measurements may consider multiple points rather than relying on one width measurement.
We may also need to account for the shower curb or floor, glass panel positions, door clearance and surrounding bathroom fixtures.
The objective is to confirm the actual finished opening before fabrication.

Shower Door Installation for Apartments
Space is often an important consideration in Dubai apartment bathrooms.
A large outward-opening door may not be practical when the shower is close to a toilet, vanity or bathroom entrance.
Depending on the dimensions, a sliding system, compact swing configuration or combination of fixed and moving panels may provide a better solution.
We assess the actual bathroom rather than recommending one configuration for every apartment.
Shower Door Installation for Villas
Villa bathrooms may offer greater flexibility for larger enclosures, wider entrances and customized glass configurations.
Options can include frameless swing doors, larger fixed panels, walk-in designs and customized sliding systems.
Again, the final configuration should be based on actual dimensions and how the shower area will be used.
