Steam Shower Enclosures In Bloomfield Hills
Full-height sealed glass with a transom or header to hold the steam in, built with tight seals and proper venting. Fortune measures, fabricates, and installs each steam enclosure in-house for your Bloomfield Hills bath.
Sealed Glass That Keeps The Steam In
A steam shower asks more of its glass than a standard shower does. To turn a shower into a steam room, the enclosure has to run full height and seal at the top, so the steam stays inside instead of drifting into the rest of the bath. That usually means a fixed transom panel or a solid header above the door, along with tight seals around the door and panels. The glass is doing a real job here, holding warm, wet air in a sealed space. For homeowners in Bloomfield Hills adding a spa-style retreat at home, a properly built steam enclosure is what makes it work.
Building one right is detail work, and it is the kind Fortune keeps in-house. The same family measures your opening, plans the transom or header, fabricates the glass, and installs it, so one crew owns the seal from start to finish. Every panel is 3/8 inch tempered safety glass, sized to run full height to your ceiling or bulkhead. The seals and hardware are chosen for a steam environment, and venting is planned so the space clears when you are done. Hardware comes in a full range of finishes to match your fixtures. In hard-water Oakland County, easy-clean glass is worth asking about here too.
Steam Shower Enclosures, measured and built for Bloomfield Hills.
Full-Height, Sealed Glass
A steam enclosure runs from curb to ceiling, not just to a standard door height. Fortune sizes the panels to reach your ceiling or bulkhead and seals the edges so steam cannot escape around them. That full-height build is the core of what separates a steam shower from an ordinary one.
Transom Or Header
The top of a steam enclosure is where the steam wants to escape, so it needs a plan. Depending on your layout, that is a fixed transom panel or a solid header above the door. Fortune works out which suits your ceiling height and door position during the measure.
Tight Seals And Venting
Holding steam takes more than glass. The door and panel edges get seals suited to a steam environment, and venting is planned so the enclosure clears after use. Fortune sorts out both as part of the build, because a steam shower only works when the seal and the airflow are right.
What A Steam Enclosure Needs To Get Right
A steam enclosure is the most demanding kind of shower glass, because it has to contain heat and moisture, not just spray. That raises the stakes on measurement and fit. The panels have to run full height and meet the ceiling or a bulkhead cleanly, the transom or header has to close the top, and the door has to seal all the way around. Small gaps that would be harmless in a standard shower let steam and heat leak out here. Fortune measures for all of it during the in-home visit.
Because so much depends on the seal, keeping the work in-house matters even more for steam. The same Fortune family measures, fabricates, and installs, so there is no handoff where a detail gets lost between one company and another. Every panel is 3/8 inch tempered safety glass, and the hardware and finish come in a full range to match your bath. Steam enclosures often pair with a spa-style primary suite, and we are glad to coordinate the glass with your tile, stone, and fixtures. Ask about easy-clean glass for hard-water Oakland County too.

Common questions.
What makes a steam enclosure different from a regular shower door?
A steam enclosure has to hold heat and moisture, not just contain spray. That means full-height glass sealed to the ceiling or a bulkhead, a transom or header to close the top, and tight seals around the door. A standard shower door leaves a gap at the top on purpose. A steam enclosure closes that gap so the steam stays where you want it.
Do you install steam shower enclosures in Bloomfield Hills?
Yes. Fortune installs steam enclosures throughout Bloomfield Hills and Oakland County from our showroom at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights. We come to your home to measure and plan the enclosure, then fabricate and install it with our own crew. You do not need to come to us to start. Call (586) 315-8900 or text (586) 800-9481 to set up a measure.
Will hard water be a problem on a steam enclosure?
Steam enclosures see a lot of moisture, and Oakland County hard water can leave mineral spots. An easy-clean coating helps the glass shed water and minerals, so spotting is easier to keep ahead of, and a squeegee after use helps too. Because the glass is full height, planning care up front pays off. We will walk through coating and cleaning options when we measure your bath.
Does the whole bathroom need to be waterproofed for steam?
Steam affects more than the glass, so the shower itself needs to be built and waterproofed for steam. Fortune handles the glass enclosure, the transom or header, and the seals that keep steam inside. During the measure, we will talk through how the glass fits with the rest of your steam shower, and we are glad to coordinate with your contractor on the rest.
Can a steam enclosure still look like the rest of my bath?
Yes. A steam enclosure is full height and sealed, but it is still glass, and the hardware and finish come in a full range to match your fixtures and lighting. The transom or header can be kept clean and simple so it reads as part of the design. We will help coordinate the glass and finishes with your tile and stone during the measure.
