Can I have a frameless shower door opposite the shower head?
Comments (13)I don't see anything in either code that prohibits it. P2705.1 of the IECC Residential code (2015) doesn't appear to mention it at all, and the UPC 412 (from 2018 at least) is about Urinals (whether or not a shower constitutes a urinal if you pee in the shower is out of scope of the UPC). :) UPC 408.9 mentions it this way: "Control valves and shower heads should be mounted on the sidewall of shower compartments or otherwise arranged so that the water does not discharge at the entrance of the compartment so that so that the bather can adjust the valves before stepping into the shower spray" So nothing to do specifically with the thing pointed at the door, moreso can you turn on the water without being sprayed by it, which is a good idea anyway since that first blast is likely to be quite cold....See MoreHow wide a space between frameless glass shower door and glass
Comments (6)Good for you, you did not accept that and they are getting redone. If done correctly...you should (or can) get away with NO vertical plastic stops. I try to avoid anything that collects gunk and requires maintenance. I measure and order all my doors and the gap should be 1/8"-1/4". Anything over 1/4" is too much for my satisfaction. 1/2" is totally pathetic. When this gap is done correctly, you will find you do not need a plastic stop to prevent water from leaking out. If you use a sweep on the bottom, that will keep the door in place where it needs to be because it puts some drag onto the threshold. Measuring takes time, a lot of time if done correctly....See MoreClosure gap when frameless glass shower enclosure slider is "closed."
Comments (2)I was also going to suggest that the doors are not installed level. On the older style of slider or bypass doors you were able to adjust the roller bracket to bring to doors into level. I'm not sure what adjustments are available on the newer type of slider, which I assume is a set of rollers which roll on a bar. I would start by checking the level of the bar....See MoreChanging hardware on a frameless fixed glass panel
Comments (12)Have you priced what the cost would be if you installed the glass after the bathroom was finished. When I did my remodel the glass was installed by the person who also did my mirrors. Shower glass is installed all the time after a bathroom is completed. I do recommend Showerguard which is glass that is impregnated at the factory and is not a coating. It has been three years - I don't squeegee after showers and the glass has no deposits or streaks with normal cleaning when the bathroom is done once a week. Sink faucets are easy to swap out but fixtures in the shower including grab bars are more difficult to change once the bathroom is complete....See MoreLeslie Stone
