What I did was use old shards of stained glass, some are even old 70's lamps dissasembled and cut up, and I tumble the glass in a rock tumbler sometimes, to get the sharp edges off,(but this can be done by scraping the glass edges together to get the edges dull) and I use clear silicone adhesive to glue the peices to the shower door, leaving a space for grout. then I grout it just like you would tiles on a backsplash or tub surround. I have even bought stained glass off ebay! And also have smashed up glass plates, bottles to use in this fashion.

My almost finished main/guest bathroom remodel used to have a standard bath tub with a sliding frosted glass shower door. I hated that thing. Whenever I wanted to take a bath, I felt claustrophobic (even though I'm not). And getting in and out was oddly uncomfortable, even though the opening was plenty large. The only thing I liked about the shower door was being able to lock the dog in when I needed to give her a bath. I could also see the doors as being good splash-prevention if you had children showering. One other thing to consider is your selection of a swing-open door vs. slider. Using a swing-open type door will mean that the door will be closed while taking a bath. For me, that would be uncomfortable. I like to be able to rest my arms on the sides of the tub (to relax) and the door would be in the way. Personally, I would not want to have a glass door on a bath tub ever again. I would suggest you do a test-drive of some sort. Perhaps try bathing with the shower curtain closed or even putting up "doors" of cardboard or some other material to simulate the feeling of having actual doors. Maybe it will work better for you than it did for me.

Hi lazy_gardens. I'm finding that 60 seems to be the maximum width, too. Is it a matter of physics, I wonder? I could use a fixed panel to cover a few more inches, but my clever idea had been that if you had, say, 33" clear opening on one end of the tub or the other when the doors were slid open, you'd have that much easier access to the tub. I guess you could have a 3" return on either end, in either glass or tile, and still use a 60" door without unduly hemming in the tub. Following our previous discussion about how to use a 60" or, preferably, 66" alcove tub on a 96"-long wall, I'd been thinking of a setup like this, with a half-glass half-wall at the foot of the tub: and then I was thinking about whether an enclosure using sliding doors instead of shower curtain would be possible. Of course, this will all be moot if I decide to go with the Americh Bow tub instead of a 3-sided alcove tub. ;-)

Kitchen Bath and Glass in Rockledge Fl, kitchenbathandglass.com :>) unless you bend down and stick your head under the Tub Fill you won't get wet when you turn the water on. Be sure you check for proper pitch and any out of plumb or out of level condition. you most likely will have to order a custom made shower to accommodate those conditions. We use CRL's contempo or Cambridge Hardware packages for dual sliding frameless bypass showers header only. And Crescent series kit for one stationary panel and one sliding door all have header only. don't do a french door in a standard tub you are always asking for trouble. in the end the most leak proof shower on a tub is an old fashion bypass shower and dress it up with drilled through towel bars.
