Frameless glass shower enclosure

Shower Doors in Ottawa.

A century of settling rarely leaves a Glebe or Westboro bathroom wall square, so a stock shower enclosure meets that wall on the wall's terms, not the room's.

In short

A century-old Glebe or Westboro bathroom is rarely square after a hundred years of settling, and a stock shower enclosure meets that wall on its terms, not the room's. Crateworks custom-sizes frameless glass to the actual opening and specs a coating to fight the mineral haze Ottawa's hard water leaves behind.

Built for Ottawa’s climate

Two things matter here, and neither is really about the cold. Ottawa's hard water leaves mineral residue on glass faster than a soft-water city would, so a factory-applied coating that cuts that buildup is worth specifying from the start rather than fighting it with a scrub brush later. The bigger factor in this market is the housing stock itself. A century-old bathroom in the Glebe or Westboro has usually settled out of square in ways a modern stud wall never does, and a stock enclosure built for a perfectly square opening simply will not fit that wall cleanly.

Why it suits Ottawa

Ottawa's hard water also builds mineral haze faster than a soft-water city, so the factory-applied coating matters as much as the custom cut. Because freight only runs a short inland leg west from the Port of Montreal, that custom measurement for an out-of-square Glebe bathroom doesn't cost extra time over a standard order.

How it ships to Ottawa: Freight comes in through the Port of Montreal on the St. Lawrence, then a short inland leg west to the capital region.

Common questions

Hard water leaves mineral residue on glass faster than a soft-water city sees, and we spec a factory-applied coating specifically to slow that buildup.
That's most of the work. A century of settling rarely leaves a bathroom wall square, and the enclosure is sized to spec, not selected from a catalog built for a modern stud wall.
Corrosion-resistant hinges and clamps, specced the same way we spec the glass coating, not a finish coat over standard steel.
Yes, we measure the wall as it actually stands, not as an original floor plan would show it, since a hundred years of settling in the Glebe or Westboro rarely leaves a right angle intact.
