Frameless sliding shower doors hang from a heavy-duty top track on a roller assembly, with a bottom guide that keeps the panel aligned without a bottom track that traps standing water.
That track-and-roller engineering is what separates a premium sliding enclosure from an off-the-shelf kit, and it is where we focus the spec on every project.
Configurations range from a single panel sliding past a fixed glass wall (the modern barn-style aesthetic, a sub-style of frameless sliding rather than a separate door type) to a two-panel bypass system where both panels slide.
Most residential sliders use 3/8" tempered heavy glass, stepping up to 1/2" tempered for wider spans. Glass is cut and tempered to the actual opening rather than a nominal stock size.
Hardware comes from CRL (C.R. Laurence), including the sliding track, roller bearings, and bottom guide. Finish options include chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze.
Frameless sliding doors work best where swing clearance is limited: alcove-tub-to-walk-in conversions, tight-footprint primary baths, compact guest baths in Loveland and Fort Collins condo retrofits, and any layout where a hinged panel would block a vanity or fixture.
Every opening varies, so we template the actual shower on-site, then fabricate and temper the panels to that exact spec in our Northern Colorado shop. Custom frameless sliding enclosures install in 1–2 weeks from approved measurement, vs. 2–3 weeks for vendors who outsource fabrication out of state.
A correctly installed slider does not leak: the bottom guide and a properly detailed waterproof curb manage runoff without needing a perimeter frame.
Wipe the top track and roller assembly periodically so the slide stays smooth and quiet.
Squeegee the glass after every use to prevent water spotting and soap film from building up.
Clean with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and skip ammonia-based products that can damage hardware finishes.
Consider an optional factory-applied Diamon-Fusion hydrophobic coating for hard-water defense in Northern Colorado conditions.
A frameless sliding shower door is a heavy-glass enclosure where one or two panels slide along a top track with no perimeter metal frame around the glass. The panels ride on a roller assembly and align with a bottom guide; typical residential thickness is 3/8" tempered. Moffat fabricates and tempers each panel in-house in Northern Colorado.
Frameless sliding shower doors fit most rectangular shower openings, including alcove tub conversions and tight-footprint primary baths where swing clearance is limited. Configurations range from a single panel sliding past a fixed glass wall (the modern barn-style aesthetic) to a two-panel bypass system where both panels slide. Heavy-glass thickness is typically 3/8" tempered, stepping up to 1/2" for wider spans.
Custom frameless sliding shower door cost varies with opening width, glass thickness (3/8" or 1/2"), single-panel vs. bypass configuration, and hardware finish. Cost also reflects whether a specialty hydrophobic coating is added and how the curb and threshold are detailed for the installation, so every quote is project-specific rather than off a price sheet.
Moffat installs most custom frameless sliding shower doors in 1–2 weeks from approved measurement. Vendors who outsource heavy-glass fabrication out of state typically run 2–3 weeks. Because our Northern Colorado team tempers and finishes every panel locally, the timeline stays tight, and install day itself is usually a single day once the glass arrives.

I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass
"We needed our patio screen door replaced. Moffat answered the phone (something that 3 other businesses did not do), scheduled someone to come measure the same day, manufactured our non-standard sized door and installed it within a week. We have yet to hear from the other businesses we contacted who told us they would 'get right back' to us. The quality of customer service was very good. Everyone was friendly, professional, and expressed appreciation for our business. I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass. They have been in Greeley for a long time and I can see why they have lasted."
I will absolutely be using Moffat again and I highly recommend them!

I will absolutely be using Moffat again and I highly recommend them!"
