Please help with frameless shower door details
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 MoreFrameless shower door latch

Comments (2)I have a square basement shower (~38x42") that we changed to having frameless glass. There is water spray pretty much constantly on the door during my daily shower. The water bounces off my body onto the doors and when I’m whipping the handheld around, the door gets inadvertently sprayed. I have a fixed panel and a door that swings in and out. Like the other poster mentioned, there is a plastic strip (vertically) between the fixed panel and swinging door. No water seems to get through this vertical space. There is also a plastic strip (horizontally) at the base of the swinging door. There used to be two sort of layers of clear strips but one peeled off so now there’s just one strip which deflects the water somewhat but not entirely. When I finish showering (and squeegeeing the door), there is always a little puddle of water sitting on the curb but no water seems to spill over onto the bathroom floor. It’s just part of my routine to wipe the curb before I get out of the shower....See MoreSemi frameless sliding glass shower door leaking on bottom
Comments (7)Is the tile shower floor sitting higher than the bathroom tile or is that an optical illusion? Is there a weather-seal on the bottom of the door panels? Is the door installed plumb and square? What is stopping the doors from sliding into the wall jambs? Brand of door? Who did the install?...See Morelinda-z
