Custom frameless shower doors in Kansas City are fully tempered, heavy-glass enclosures built without metal framing, held by minimal hinges, clamps, and U-channel instead of a bulky frame. Westport Glass & Mirror has measured, fabricated, and installed them to the exact shower opening since 1947 for a seamless look, easier cleaning, and a higher-end finish than framed doors.
That difference shows the moment you walk in. We build frameless showers for Kansas City homes with heavy glass, simple lines, and hardware that looks intentional, letting tile, stone, and light do the talking while making a tight shower space feel wider. If you want glass shower doors that look sharp and work smoothly, we're ready to help.

Frameless shower enclosures come in several layouts: inline, corner, neo-angle, curved, and grid designs, each chosen by how you move through the bathroom. Inline setups work well on long walls and can use a hinged frameless shower door or a sliding frameless shower door when clearance is tight. Corner builds wrap an enclosure around a return panel for a clean, open look.
Some remodels call for custom shower and bathtub enclosures or a swing tub door, especially in shared baths. For angled corners, neo-angle shower doors reclaim floor space, while curved glass offers a softer profile. At Westport Glass & Mirror, we also build grid shower designs, then place fixed panels, privacy shields, and splash guards so the glass works with your shower space, not against it.
When planning your layout, three factors guide the choice:
Choosing the right glass and finish is where a frameless shower feels complete. We'll talk through glass types, from clear to low-iron for brighter views, plus privacy options like satin etch. Each glass shower door we install uses tempered glass cut to fit the opening.
Hardware sets the tone. Finish options include brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, chrome, and polished stainless steel. Handle styles run from clean bars to pulls with square corners. We match pull handles to your fixtures, then pair shower hinges and clamps to the weight of heavy glass. If you prefer a minimal look, we keep profiles tight and let the glass lead. Use this side-by-side to weigh the most common choices for a Kansas City shower:
The process starts with a conversation about your shower space, door style, and finish options. As your shower door company, we schedule a site visit, check plumb and level conditions, and capture precise measurement points for every glass panel. Custom work rarely matches standard door prices, so this is where we set expectations on fit and budget.
In fabrication, your custom shower door, return panel, extender panel, and fixed panels are cut, finished, and prepped for the selected shower hinges and handles. On installation day, we protect surfaces, set the glass shower enclosure in sequence, tune water seals, and confirm smooth movement for swing door showers or a sliding frameless shower door.
Most custom frameless shower door installations in Kansas City run $1,500 to $4,000 installed and complete within 7 to 14 days of final measurement, with the glass set in a few hours on install day. Final pricing depends on glass thickness, size, hardware finish, and layout complexity.
"With frameless enclosures the glass is the structure, so field measurement matters more than with any framed door. We check plumb and level in every Kansas City home because no two walls are truly square," says Brian Dugan, Fourth-Generation Co-Owner of Westport Glass & Mirror. Brian brings 20+ years overseeing field measurement and final fit on every frameless enclosure the shop produces.
Westport installs frameless showers in both remodels and new construction, adapting to the rhythm each one needs. In a remodel, we coordinate with tile crews, plumbers, and painters so the enclosure lands after surfaces are ready and the shower hardware has solid backing. If the plan includes steam units, we build a tight frameless glass shower enclosure with the right clearances and seals.
In new construction, planning early helps with door swing, return panel placement, and curb details. We fabricate custom frameless shower enclosures to match your drawings, then install frameless glass shower doors that feel steady. From a single shower door to heavy enclosures with fixed panels, we keep timelines tight and coordinate with the build team.
Frameless shower enclosures are designed to deflect water rather than form a fully watertight seal. Leaks usually trace back to an improperly built shower opening, such as a curb that slopes outward toward the floor. On a correctly built base with precise alignment and discreet seals, frameless doors effectively contain water.
Once measurements are taken and the glass is fabricated, installation typically takes just a few hours. The full process, from consultation to installation, usually runs 7 to 14 days depending on design, hardware, and glass availability.
Yes. With no metal tracks for soap scum and mildew to collect, frameless doors are easier to clean than framed options. Regular wiping and an optional protective glass coating keep the glass clear and spotless.
Most custom frameless shower door installations in Kansas City run $1,500 to $4,000 installed. Final cost depends on glass thickness, size, hardware selection, and layout complexity, and custom enclosures typically cost more than standard framed options while offering better durability and long-term value.
In most cases, no major remodeling is required. As long as the shower walls are plumb and properly prepared, a frameless shower door can be installed as an upgrade to an existing shower.
Westport Glass came recommended to me by a trusted bathroom remodel contractor. I couldn't be happier with the service of Westport Glass of Kansas City. All staff members I came in contact with were not only courteous, but extremely professional. I had been going through a very rough bathroom remodel, and Westport Glass really put the icing on the cake. My custom frameless shower glass is gorgeous. Every time I step in there I feel like I am in a fancy 5 Star hotel, I can't believe it is in my own house! Thank you Westport Glass! Would definitely recommend and use again in the future!
Writing this review because Westport glass deserves the credit for sending our small business over the top. I own a personal training studio, and as you know when working out, mirrors make all the difference in the world. Not only in correcting exercise form but also creating internal motivation as you can see the work you are doing and the results they are creating. Bob and Westport glass were quick to respond to our request for 300 sqft of mirrors to be installed, their turn around time to install and the overall Installation process was effortless and took less time than I anticipated. If you are in the market for mirrors or glass this company is hands down the best!
This place is awesome and professional! I can't believe after living all these years in Kansas City I found this mirror company. Their prices are much better and the measurements at Westport Glass & Mirror were spot on and wrapped up perfectly. They also cut my mirrors within 3 hours on a busy Saturday when they were short handed. From now on, I won't use anyone else.
