Total price over $7500, straight corner, door plus two shorter panels (door is on 5' side and attached to wall). Classic L-shaped installation. Invoice doesn't even specify door size, so I suspect it is standard 28", but I will ask. Hate quotes without decent breakdowns, so I'm unhappy already. I don't think DH is up for DIYing this. It's part of a whole house remodel and addition, so we're overwhelmed with projects and need to get this bath done. How much do clips cost? Also, we have hard water and calacatta tile in the shower, so both low iron and good coating are a must, even though I know they are adding some to the cost. Still, 1/2" Starphire for fish tanks sells for $15 a square!

It shouldn't be. They were able to measure and cut a slightly angled piece to accommodate the sloped ceiling in my steam shower enclosure.

afaik. each province has its own code, and they all allow 1.5" drains. Everyone says so, but I've never seen it in writing. Check with a Master Plumber. Any Master Plumber. They are professionals who do not lie. They know 100% for certain what is required and they tell you the truth, when it concerns their expertise; also you do not have to hire them first before they answer questions about their area of expertise. Each Master Plumber will give you the same answer as the previous one and the next one. Ditto, do not decrease any "drain line in the direction of flow." The trap size has to be the same as the drain size. Many people conclude that a 2" trap can be reduced to a 1.5." pipe after the trap. Use a 1.5" trap if the drain line is to going to be 1.5" diameter. This is very serious, not to be disregarded. Ask a Master Plumber if you need to hear it again. You may wonder why you see on the internet that showers need 2" ... I feel that this forum is the right place for this discussion. It find the 2" diameter requirement for showers to be overkill. I'm surprised that after many years of searching, I've never seen an internet comment from an experienced Master Plumber telling me how Code changed over the years. I'm 100% certain that a 1.5" drain line used to be Code everywhere, for showers. I'd like to know what discussion went into voting for the new size, 2" diameter. (?) Here is a link showing 1.5" is OK in NY. http://publicecodes.citation.com/st/ny/st/b900v07/st_ny_st_b900v07_7_sec009.htm Code has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future. I'd like to think I'm helping to air out the issues which leads later to clearing up confusion about 2" shower drains. Imagine all the people who have been forced to do a lot of extra work for no reason !! When a 1.5" drain already plumbed could have been used, they ripped it all out and put a 2" drain in. I'm not a plumber. Since this is a discussion forum, I'm posting this here as part of a *discussion*; everything I have written here concurs with the previous post from an expert who knows, and who shares, precisely what is code today. Code has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future.

No shower door? I would use 1/2" just to give the heavier appearance personally and use the Showerguard (not a knockoff). Just my .02........................
