Hello, I am also deciding on the depth of channel used on shower pony walls. I just found this post. Which size did you end up going with? And are you happy with it? We really want the lower profile metal on our pony walls but its not in stock for two months! So we are wondering if we should just go ahead with 3/4". Would love to hear your experience. Thanks.

I love it! I won't lie...they are a bit more work, however I wouldn't change my decision. Our bathroom is extreamly small and the frameless glass shower just opens the space up so much. Ours: - Plain glass - No "shower guard" treatment (although I did buy an aftermarket product that I put on the glass to help repel water...similar to RainX) - We have semi-hard water (no softener...yet!) - We both squeegee every time we shower (if we didn't ours probably would be spotted with water marks) - Timing - never timed myself, but 4-5 minutes sounds about right. Husband is quicker, but I have to admit I am more detailed...taking the extra time to wipe down with a "ShamWow' type of towel. It may be a minute more but the shower just looks "clean" when all the chrome fixtures are shiny! - Our shower has marble floor so we use very mild cleaning products - We use liquid soap (this is very important!) We have had our shower for 1 year. No issues although we did get some mineral build up along the plastic strip at the bottom of the shower door. I just took the plastic strip off used some liquid bar keepers friend and it was as good as new. Once we get the water softener I think that issue will hopefully go away.

I've skipped along, but truly I'm gonna win this, hands down: What I hate is that I have NO KITCHEN (at least by modern standards). I mean that. I have no kitchen counters, no kitchen cabinets, a fridge in the adjacent pantry, and a damned woodstove plunk in the middle of the kitchen. No, I'm not cooking on a wood-fired stove - moved that puppy out to the barn the day we moved in - I cook on a gas-fired 48" double-oven 6-burner range, thank God! Lavendar-Lass, avert your eyes, please ..... I have an authentic pre 20th c kitchen where they used work tables, and unfitted furniture and open shelves to store stuff. My sink is a beat-up version of one of those metal sink cabs, with no counter beside it - just the single basin standing along the wall. The work table and chairs arrangement is soooo annoying and time wasting. Everything on the shelves that wasn't just washed, needs to be rewashed before use. And I have that #@$#%^&*!#@$%& WOODSTOVE in my kitchen that everybody stands around getting in my way all winter long. In short I have all those elements that folks seem to crave these days in a farmhouse/country kitchen. Except that it is all I have. These aren't style elements, these are the real deal and they are unbelieveably hard and inefficient to work with. So, since I can't move the woodstove position (and can't get rid of it since it is our only source of heat) nor do I want to be cooking in the room where everyone else always is, I'm picking up my kitchen and moving it elsewhere in the house. So there! I have agonized over this for years because it will be a radical reassignment of room uses in a very old, and otherwise intact mid-19th c house. But I've lived here more than 20 years and hope to live here another 20, and I'm going to have it my way, or else. L

I was told in ct. that I could swing the door from whichever side I wished and could hinge in center too if it was best for me. I did opt to have door swing from the wall where valves are out so I can access it from in the room. But where I live it was doable either way. My shower is the same set up as yours but valves are on my left three foot wall.
