Custom Shower Doors & Installation in Crystal Lake, IL

Frameless Shower Doors Built for Your Bathroom, Not a Catalog

If you've been putting off replacing a leaky, corroded shower door, you're not alone — it's one of the most common calls we get from homeowners across Crystal Lake, Cary, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, and the rest of McHenry County. A worn-out shower enclosure doesn't just look tired. It traps moisture, grows grime in tracks you can't reach, and quietly drags down the whole feel of a bathroom that might otherwise be in great shape.

At Fox River Glass & Mirror, we've been fabricating and installing custom glass in this area for over 40 years. Every shower door we build is measured, cut, and installed specifically for your space — not pulled off a shelf in a standard size and forced to fit.

Our Shower Door Options

Frameless Shower Enclosures

The cleanest, most modern look available. Heavy 3/8" or 1/2" tempered glass, minimal hardware, no metal frame collecting soap scum or mildew. Frameless doors make a bathroom feel larger and more open, and they're built to handle daily use for decades without warping or rusting.

Semi-Frameless Shower Doors

A more budget-conscious option that still looks clean and modern, using a slim frame around the edges for extra support. A good middle ground for larger enclosures or unusual layouts where a fully frameless design isn't practical.

Sliding & Bypass Shower Doors

Ideal for smaller bathrooms or tub-shower combos where a swinging door isn't an option. We offer both framed and semi-frameless sliding systems with smooth-glide, easy-clean tracks.

Neo-Angle & Corner Enclosures

Built specifically for corner shower stalls and tight layouts — a common request in older McHenry County homes with smaller original bathroom footprints.

Custom Glass Shapes & Coatings

Every enclosure we build is cut to your exact measurements. We also offer easy-clean glass coatings that resist hard water spots and soap scum, cutting down significantly on the scrubbing every shower door eventually demands.

Signs It's Time to Replace Your Shower Door

• Metal frame or hardware showing rust or corrosion
• Door doesn't slide, swing, or seal properly anymore
• Cloudy, etched, or permanently hard-water-stained glass
• Visible cracks or chips in the glass
• Tracks that collect grime no matter how often you clean them
• Simply outdated — planning a bathroom refresh and want a modern, frameless look

If any of these sound familiar, a replacement is usually more cost-effective long-term than continuing to fight an aging enclosure.
