Frameless shower door help!
Comments (7)Have you talked with the glass installers? It seems that would be a good place to start. Also, the glass company I'm working with gave me a catalog to look at handles. Other parts of the catalog have all sorts of interesting pieces that are meant to be used in interesting scenarios like yours. There was a 90degree Polycarbonate Strike Jamb pieces which says it's 'designed to seal between the door and the fixed panel on a 90degree enclosure. Attach to the fixed panel on the strike side." My point is that I bet they have seen this situation before and can give you some options. I think you could do a thick piece between the tub and shower that extends a few inches beyond the tub. Then hinge the door to that piece. Then have a fixed piece of glass on the short side. The door and the short side close at a 90degree angle. But that's just an idea. I'm not a professional, nor have I actually done my own shower yet....See Moreinline frameless shower door
Comments (0)doing an inline frameless shower door about 58" wide with 1/2" glass. Will consist of one fixed panel and the door. Door will be hinged on the wall and be about 28-30" and NOT go all the way to teh ceiling. The panel will be the remaining width and will be hooked with clips. Was trying to decid on 3 options for panel. 1) have it go all the way to ceiling and attached at floor and ceiling. 2) have it same height as shower door and only attached with clips at side and floor and use support bar off teh top. 3) 2) have it same height as shower door and only attached with clips at side and floor. So my qustions are: How much wobble in #3 and is this unsafe? How bad does #1 or #2 look? Thanks!...See MoreQuestion re aethetics of support bar in 5-sided frameless shower
Comments (4)We were told by one company that we could not do a totally frameless shower. Another company could, and we have had it for four years without any issues. Have you gotten a 2nd opinion?...See MoreWhat is the best seamless shower door that wont break our wallet?
Comments (4)It all depends on your budget and layout. Some layouts call for a custom door versus others can go with a standard door that is their version of frame less at a lower cost. Kohler has a good selection and will serve its purpose. Custom doors can go upwards of 2-3K with installation. Granted Kohler is limited in terms of angles etc. We have used several of these doors and they are much better for the price and for the look versus the doors of yesteryear. Take a look at these options from Kohler. https://www.us.kohler.com/us/browse/bathroom-showering-Shower-Doors/_/N-258t?id=ps_adw_kbus_ongoing-paid-search_2018_USSEMPLBShowersEMBDOORFRAMEkohlerframelessshowerdoors&kwd=kohlerframelessshowerdoors&s_kwcid=AL!6104!3!202482017235!e!!g!!kohler%20frameless%20shower%20doors&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjdm1qdWN3gIVC2SGCh0zHA2qEAAYASAAEgIHgPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds...See Morejewelisfabulous
