Steam Shower and Frameless Door?? Please Help!!
Comments (11)Thanks for the feedback. I talked to the people at Artistcraft and they thought it would be feasible to do a fixed panel on the left side with a 6" high transom that was hinged to the top of the frame. The door would be hinged on the right wall and seal against the fixed panel and transom. Talked to the local shop and they said they would not do this because of safety liability reasons, even though they were quoting me on a framed enclosure that would have a steam tight seal. Is this really a good idea? I asked them if there wouldn't be a bigger safety issue with an airtight room. That's when they got snotty. I was hoping to use them since I live in mid-Michigan and would like to steer business locally. In the end, I think we'll do something similar to what annkathryn suggests. I'm not that thrilled dealing with the rude people at the shop, but they seem to be the only game in town. Beautiful work as usual, Bill. Here is a kind of crappy photo of our project.

Comments (19)I wish I'd known - the contractor said that the shower door people couldn't come out and measure until after the tiling was done, so I have put off these decisions (so busy with so many others). Now I have no idea where the studs are. The location of the glass will be right next to the door into the room, and I'm sure there's framing around it, but I don't know how wide it is. The shower glass will be less than 4" from the door opening. I wish I'd looked at this when everything was open. I'm sure the contractor knows, but he's on vacation at the moment. Are the bottom supports the same as the side supports, suero?...See MoreHelp with frameless bypass shower doors
Comments (1)I know exactly what door you need. DreamLine is the manufacturer and I have posted a link where to find this for less than $600 with free shipping. These doors are very good quality and the price is tough to beat. I believe this will be what you need.

Comments (2)We had semi-frameless sliders (bypass)installed a couple of month ago for the same reason you chose them--a very small space (5' by 8' bathroom). They seem very stable and don't leak. Our installer declined to order 1/4 inch glass for us as he said it would be too thin and would flex/shimmy more than the 3/8 inch glass he recommended....See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
