Custom frameless shower doors, measured and installed with precision since 1987.
Custom Shower Doors Installed Since 1987
Every one measured by hand. Every one with our name on it.
A shower door is the centerpiece of your bathroom. Ours are measured to the millimeter, built for your exact opening, and installed like we’re working in our own home.
Every panel is fabricated to your exact opening — never a box-store kit forced to fit. Out-of-plumb walls and custom layouts are our specialty.
Our installers are VELA employees, trained to our standard — not day-rate subcontractors. The people who measure and install carry our name.
Nearly four decades of Maryland custom glass experience, carried forward from Glass & More Inc. into the VELA standard.
Upgrade to ultra-clear low-iron glass for a brighter, truer view of your tile — the choice for designer bathrooms.
VELA Shield and HydroClear lifetime protected glass keep your enclosure clearer, longer, with less scrubbing.
Drop cloths down, floors protected, glass handled with care — and the room left cleaner than we found it. Every time.
Clear timelines and real answers from first quote to final walkthrough. You’ll always know what happens next.
We’re not a national chain. We live here, work here, and build our reputation one Maryland bathroom at a time.
Heavy tempered glass, premium hardware, and precise installation — a door that feels substantial every time you open it.
Every VELA collection is named for the coastline that inspires us — and built to the same exacting standard. Find the system that fits your bathroom, then let us tailor it to the inch.

“The shower glass is the last thing in — and the first thing your client sees.”
Partner With VELAMost custom frameless shower doors in Maryland fall between $1,200 and $3,500+ depending on the size of the opening, glass thickness, hardware finish, and upgrades like low-iron glass or protective coatings. Because every VELA enclosure is measured and fabricated to your exact opening, we provide a firm quote after reviewing your photos and dimensions — no surprises on install day.
Yes — frameless shower doors are our specialty. Our Breakwater Series hinged and pivot doors are fully frameless, and we also offer all-glass sliding systems, semi-frameless sliders, and minimal fixed panels. Every door is custom measured and installed by our in-house trained installers.
Standard clear glass has a slight green tint caused by its natural iron content — most visible along the edges and against white tile. Low-iron glass removes most of that iron for a noticeably clearer, brighter, more color-true panel. It’s a popular upgrade for marble, light tile, and designer bathrooms.
Framed doors use thinner glass supported by metal on every edge. Semi-frameless systems, like our Harborline Series, keep a slim frame around the perimeter but use heavier glass with cleaner sight lines. Frameless doors use thick 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered glass with minimal hardware and no perimeter metal — the cleanest, most premium look and the focus of our Breakwater and Glasswave collections.
Yes. VELA partners with remodelers, tile contractors, builders, and designers across Maryland who value accurate field measuring, reliable scheduling, and clean professional installs. We communicate clearly from measure to install so your project stays on schedule. Partner with us →
Schedule your measurement after tile is fully complete, including any curb, bench, or niche work. Glass is fabricated to the finished opening, so measuring before tile is done can change the fit. If your project is still in progress, send us photos and your timeline — we’ll slot your measure so glass arrives right when you’re ready.
Most installations take 1–3 hours in your home. After measurement, custom glass typically takes about 1–2 weeks to fabricate. We protect your floors and finishes, install, complete a final walkthrough, and leave the space cleaner than we found it. Silicone cures for 24 hours before first use — we tag the door so everyone in the house knows.
Yes. We offer VELA Shield, an applied protective coating that helps glass resist water spots and soap buildup, and HydroClear lifetime protected glass, where the protection is sealed into the glass surface itself for long-term clarity with easier cleaning.
Homeowners, contractors, and designers choose VELA for glass that fits the first time and an experience that feels effortless from quote to walkthrough.
The measurement was exact and the install was spotless — they protected every floor and left the bathroom cleaner than they found it. The frameless glass looks like it was always meant to be there.
We compared three companies and VELA was the only one who measured everything by hand and explained the glass options. Worth every penny. The low-iron glass is stunning against our marble.
As a remodeler I schedule a lot of glass. VELA is the crew I trust to show up on time, communicate clearly, and make my finished bathrooms look incredible. They make me look good.
