SHOWER WITHOUT DOOR!!! --- Easy Glass Shower Screen Installation (FRAMELESS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- For this project, we needed to build a shower that was easily accessible for the user. Frameless shower doors can be heavy and difficult to keep clean from water spots. In this case, we decided to use a shower screen, or frameless glass panel without a door, so the user could just walk in without opening a door. The shower screen blocks enough of the water from the shower head so that it does not spray or spill out into the bathroom floor. This glass panel was much easier to install than a panel and door combination that we normally use for a full shower enclosure.. We only had to use three clips so there were only 3 holes to drill in the tile. We decided to use 1/2" clear frameless glass because it is stronger than standard 3/8" frameless clear glass.

I still jam some silicone in the holes before I screw the brackets down. Just an extra step that prevent any water penetration.
Me too . Always.
I use 1/16th clear setting blocks under my glass to ensure it never sags. I also silicone my holes before screwing down clamps then over the top of the screw and finally I go around the clamps with crystal clear silicone as I do the perimeter. I had a clamp that allowed water to flow to the outside of the shower. Few more tips. I always line the entire curb with 1/16th shims and I tape some to the wall especially to protect the corners of the glass. Once I have positioned it I remove all shims except bottom near each corner
That’s a professional tip and something I’ve been looking for. These are the tips that should be highlighted!
Absolutely !!!
Before you drill, put that glass up where you want, then mark the holes. That way it’s always perfect.
I th ought the same, but that glass is HEAVy...EVEN WITH THE SUCTIONS CUPS
@@ramsareit you could make a simple template using a strip of cardboard, painters tape or anything that's straight to mark the holes on the glass. Then attach to the shower wall and transfer the marks. No measuring necessary.
that’s what’s i do clamps works perfect every time
I love that door-less design.
The only thing I would tell you different is when your bringing the panel in, you need rubber pads everywhere along the bottom. Now your doing a 1/2 glass which is very hard to break but you can still chip a chunk off the corner . And if you have the 1/16 rubber under each corner then its easy to lift aside to add more rubber blocks so that you get the desired height. I typically do 3/8 shower panel just to save my back, but if the customer absolutely wants it then I do it but they get charged ALOT. I also usually sell the customer a panel that has a special coating on it on the inside.Also you can drill straight down , silicone the hole and plus you should be siliconing the inside bracket . Its super nice that you do the tile too, that way you got it nice and square, I just do the glass shower installations, we had one yesterday 1 1/8 out of square, thats the kind of drywallers that are out there...just don't give a crap. Anyway overall looks like ya did a great job
Great Vid buddy. Here's a hint for installing the brackets. When you drill through tile, start it with the bit you got, BUT change to the CIRCULAR DIAMOND BIT and finish with that. ALSO, I kinda like your idea of cutting the screws shorter, BUT don't worry about penetrating the rubber barrier with a longer screw>> As for cutting it shorter, there is no way to guaranty you won't cut through the barrier so ,Just pre-install the screw to get a nice hole going into the wood, and then inject with pressure a clear silicone that will seal the wood. Re-install the screw a few times with added silicone to make sure its well coated and Add additional silicone to the screw when you re-install it the final time and the hole will be well filled with silicone and won't leak.
I have been binge watching your channel for hours now. Very impressed with your level of detail, the way you explain things and your overall attitude. I am baffled why you don't have 500K subscribers. I am getting ready to tackle my shower, and I can now see all the things the previous person did incorrectly. Thank you.
Welcome aboard!
Hey Coach! I think I watched about 50 of your videos . ITS GOOD TO see skilled trades people.e at work! A question about the curb, is it possible to slope the top inwards toward the pan 1/4" per foot, or move the glass to the inside instead of the outside edge? To eliminate standing water?
When you measured I watched the shim bend up. That's why your measurement was off. I'd have measured and then added in the thickness of the shim, it would be perfect. You really should show how to silicone the gap on the wall and floor, it's not something people can just do. Taping the edge of the glass is easy, but taping the wall on each side so sillcone doesn't exceed the thickness of the shower glass is worth explaining. The one glass wall I've done so far it's very difficult to see the clear silicone - I'm very detail oriented like you so worked hard to ensure a perfect application, it's important.
Do you build the top of the shower curb at a slight angle into the shower or just leave it flat?
@@curtiscrane2749 Always create an angle into the shower to drain the curb top. It doesn't need much but is important to avoid water dripping outside the shower, and standing water which will result in ugly stains where there is hard water. 2 degrees is enough, and not noticeable by the human.
Use rubber setting block and you can cut them out after glass is set and clamps tightened. Plastic shims are much more difficult to get out. But, it does look good. That is one of the easiest glass installs to do.
When the music came on while he was drilling i thought his step mom was gonna walk in the bathroom
LOLOLOOL
😂😂
What are you doing step bro.
I'm building one now. I lost count on showers/tub surrounds with frameless doors but this will only be my 5th doorless.
Awesome job, same exact set up in my kids bathroom tiles/glass getting ready to set the glass and watching a few videos before I go for it.
I really like the simplicity of no door no hinges.
I bought the Bosch suction jig and water pump system for drilling tile. works amazing. I always throw some silicone in the holes before putting the screws in.
Just got a job doing shower inclosers really liked your post thanks.
Thank you for your video, it's very good, I had to install a glass door in a shawer and I had doubts, but your video served me a lot. God bless you.
I like the shower screen looks clean, great install coach and crew.!
We set the glass on the curb on setting blocks and the mark our holes and the drill the holes. Elimination of measurements and assured of center of notches. Sometimes we are even able to drill the holes with the glass in place.
You can twist the bit whilst in the chuck by hand also. Listen for a small 'scrunch' it also provides a starter thread shaped to the bit.
We pump silicone in the drilled out hole prior to the plug going in the curb for extra protection.
Beautiful bathroom! Thanks for all you do on this channel. I’ve learned a lot. Get home from a long day of bathroom remodeling..... watch someone else remodel a bathroom. 👍
Put the panel up on 1/8 clear shims, center it and level it and have someone on the inside holding it leveling it at the same time as well as the uc-79 and drill the holes at an angle, screw them in and seal it with clear silicone. Saves a lot of time.
Why drill the holes at an angle?
Just ordered the t2 truewerks pants. They look awesome!
Awesome Dave! They are seriously the best workpants out there. Did you use the TILECOACH15 code at checkout to get the 15% off? truewerk.com?sca_ref=539863.kgOEqdxQ87
@@TileCoach I had to go back and look right now to see where the link was. I didn't click on it. I just saw the tagline that said something like "checkout these pants @truewerks. I got 15% off but I jump at the opportunity to give back to you for all you do so I bummed I didn't see your link. If they're half as good as the reviews I'll order more. I just wanted to find my size first.
I hope he used the code. He would save 15% off
Good job 👍 I’m doing one tomorrow. First stationary panels
LOVE that style of shower. I like doorless and open showers personally.
Don’t think ppl realize just how HEAVY glass that size is, not to mention installing it can be nerve racking; as it takes just one wrong move.....to have a BAD day🤦🏼♂️😉 WELL DONE Guys👍🏻
Out of curiosity....??
9:08 You concerned about going through water proofing on the vertical walls when installing the hardware for glass? Know the highest one is above spray/wet zone, so wouldn’t necessarily matter if did; but what about the lower one?
Thx for another beautiful shower, and gonna be redoing my little bathroom soon; think might go this style; as really does look gorgeous. I do wanna hopefully mount my toilet into the wall instead of having it bolted to floor; so will see if it’s “doable” when demo back to studs.

If i was senior video editor at O. Tile I would have cut 10:13-10:18 but that's just me. 😁

Best post of the day 😂
Yikes Isaac, we may need an edit.
Aili and I are still laughing....🤣🤣
@@marisaostrom2486 From Mrs Ostrom? Honored!
@@jtbroncos1260 so hilarious J
Very clean work Isaac
Going with floor to ceiling hotel shower curtains because I have the room. There’s more privacy in than glass and they should keep in the warmth and moisture .
Another cool video. I’m considering using a clear glass fixed panel @ 32-36”Wx78”H onto right side of curb of a Dreamline 30x60 shower pan. Glass probably to have have 3 quadrants with black matte trim. Directly in front is toilet on right side then the vanity. Flooring most likely to be LVT on wood subfloor. Could utilize waterproof product similar to Red Guard or alternative option to attain max water proofing if opting to leave rear portion of pan left open without using typical glass door. What do you advise with flooring to be most conscious about ? 🙏
Another perfect install! Thank you so much for showing this. Based off your advice and videos, I created a curbless shower in my master bath that I absolutely LOVE. I am trying to convince my boss to install a screen like this instead of a cheesy sliding door with metal frames and made in China crap. Keeping fingers crossed. Thanks again for the great video!
Great video! Everything you need to know for a quality installation, thanks!👌
Looks really nice great job yet again!
You can ask for wider cutouts for the clips and they'll normally do it, gives you a little more room to adjust
Spade bits are terrible for making holes in tile. They’ll only last you like two holes on hard porcelain. I’ve found that Milwaukee’s diamond max bits are good. They usually last be around two houses and two houses is roughly 8 showers total. Each shower is approximately 18 holes for three grab bars each. They’re the most cost effective bits I’ve found thus far and I’m no Milwaukee fan
100% agree
Better than Lenox or montolit?
@@alexanderjamieson7971 yes, and they’re way cheaper. I’ve just about tried them all and the Milwaukee are the most cost effective
Nothing better then a "nice tight screw"
Aman
I did not know those types of bits would drill through porcelain. I just put a shower bar up and bought a diamond drill bit. Learn something everyday.
Great looking shower
I'll take full length screws with silicone in the holes into the waterproofing over shortened screws.. between silicone on the hole , screw threads , screw heads, the minimal water that hits and stays, not a big concern.. that heavy glass I want supported
It's easy but heavy glass, I like fix glass in bathroom better .
I work aluminum and Glass
Nice work ✊🏻
Also---very important to remember---you SHOULD be using a CLEAR PLASTIC SHIM (different thicknesses) and once fit properly MUST be LEFT INSTALLED with silicone sealant covering the shim to help hold it in place. This will ensure the glass WON'T slip or change positions. IF the glass come in contact with the tile, it can shatter. Sorry about that.
Thats great info. Im not a tiler and knew this couldn't be the right way to do it. He simply made a band-aide to fix his mismeasurement.
yes indeed. I just put in a glass warehouse screen today. came with the clear rubbery-plastic shims for the heel support, then I siliconed the tile to the glass edge. My shower pan is not quite level so this was very necessary to keep it an even 1/8" from to the plumb wall.
Use the Bosch drill bits for tile. That are way better than those cheapies.
Coming from someone who installs shower glass daily there is definitely simpler ways that are quicker and pretty much fool proof
Like?
Glass vibes !!!!
Nice job.
Dude I like the idea with your Matt’s to protect the floor great idea. I’m gonna steak that one for sure.
Nice video tutorial, thank you very much
We are having ours installed now. Same type of set up. There is a small wiggle to it. Can you put your weight against it? Is that a hazard?
I have seen other videos where the bottom hardware is just secured with double sided tape and silicone. Why risk the hole?
So do you need to silicone along the inside joins?
fucking awesome. now for the GE silicone supreme clear. and kick ass baby for 50 years. woohoo.
So you don’t slightly slant the threshold into the shower so the water doesn’t puddle there and outside the shower?
Questions to make sure my walking shower walls are built correct:
Am I using the right steps in the shower walls and is the drywall ok :
1. Install drywalls on framing
2. Cover the drywalls with waterproof Aqua paper. Is this correct ?
3. Install lath on top of the drywalls and waterproof paper
4. Float the walls with cement , how thick it should be and what kind ?
5. Thin set and tiles . What kind of thin set for big tiles
What am I missing ? Am I correct ? Is the drywall correct to have waterproof paper, lath , and concrete on top of it ? Can you correct me and advise me ? What are the correct steps and materials step by step?
Great video guys thanks. Hey I’m thinking furring ceiling on down to be flush with doors in case deciding to be able utilize shower as a make shift steam sauna Thoughts?
What’s the dimension of the fixed glass shower wall installed in this video, please?
Good morning I’m currently remodeling my bathroom and I have a bathtub shower and I installed Durarock and I waterproof the tiles in the shower are 12 by 24 porcelain what type of thin set do you recommend to install the tile I live in north New Jersey so we see all 4 seasons and summer gets super humid and winter gets super cold I have been watching you since September learning and finally at the end of December I took the dive into gutting the entire bathroom bringing it down to studs on the walls and adding exhaust fan it’s a lot of work but watching your videos helped me pull through it thank you for all you do you are amazing so can you help me find a thunder to apply the tile and a good grout there are way to many options out there and now I’m just confused please help me pick the correct products for the region I live in please 😊🔥😊🔥

Nice video. Question our glass around the shower only have too brackets to hold the glass lot the bottom that sits on top of marble slab. I guess the builder messed up or not sure what the case was. But they just got caulking around the bottom and the side. Very insecure. What’s the best solution without having to change the entire glass
Nice I stall. The shower faucet handle should have been on the opposite wall tho
Question that may be silly- but I’ve seen a lot of the one glass kinda style for modern showers and I’m always baffled and confused on how ppl would avoid not getting water everywhere since there’s just that big open gap. Is this just for aesthetic purposes or it’s actually practical? Haha 😅
Come to Tennessee and install mine.
When the corner of the glass door in the shower is cracked, is it dangerous?
Where the glass butts up against the tiles/wall do you also then put in some silicone sealant?
My question as well
Wow, installing this shower glass looks really hard stuff..
Hey bro great info and video!! I would like to ask you why you don't use the pre fab shower pans? Like Laticrete shower pans and curbs? I'm getting ready to do my shower with laticrete pre fab shower pan I remove my bath tub now installing shower.. Would you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you bro!!
Going the same route with zero door. I'm currently shopping for frame-less glass shower screen, and all I'm finding are vendors selling with a frame. I like to find what coach is installing with just the clips.
Go to a local glass supplier.
Being level on level sb a given
do you silicone around the door?
Awesome
Nice, but that's one hell of a piece of glass to be secured by three tiny screws, one of which is cut short. One good slip in the right direction and it's over.
@ 10:19 That smirk hahahahaha
Drilling in , do I need to waterproof the hole? I don’t want anything un-waterproofed after all this and the mold I had last time.
you are drilling through the tile on the wall, are you relying on the tile to hold the glass door or is it standard to have a stud right there?
ALWAYS have a stud behind the door hinge locations, on both sides of the door actually, sliding doors are less reliant on the studs because they're not supporting the weight but hinged doors 100% need a stud behind the tile
Great video, bud 👍🏻
I am thinking about getting one but anoth clip says his clients always come back asking for a door. What do you think? 🤔
Great video, as always. What do you mean about 30" clearance from the centre of the toilet drain to the glass door -- is that code?
30" total for toilet, 15" from centerline of toilet.
Hi there. Great video. Do you know if I can use brackets that do not require notching or holes in the glass? Also, for the screws, do you need any type of plugs or does the screw goes directly in the hole you made in the tile? Thank you!
thanks
I would like a panel on an acrylic base. Do you have any recommendations?
Can anybody advice me how much length of shower I need cover with the glass panel before I can have the opening so there not much splash out from the shower area?
66%
Excellent
What's an acceptable shower size to have a walk in shower without having water splash everywhere outside during a shower? Thank you
I'm wondering about that too. I've been in a number of hotels that have half walls like this, and there is always a lot of water all over outside the shower that needs to be mopped up. Also wondering how much flex there is in the corner of the the glass panel that isn't attached to anything. Would it take a 250lb guy slipping in the shower and falling into it? I have some doubts
Why wouldn't you attach the clamps or anchors to the sheet of glass first in their precise locations, then attach the whole system to the wall and floor?
What size is that shower? 60x32?
How are you going to turn the water on without getting sprayed with cold water?
Raincoat.
Set the diverter to the water comes out the handheld sprayer, then direct the spray against the wall. Easy, I do it every day in my shower. If you remember to set things that way on exit you just walk in and turn it on.
My contractor keeps saying that this won’t support the glass and is trying to convince me that I need the ugly rod above it. How can I change his mind? 🙄
What do you think of using schluter deco sg to hold up the glass?
Did you use inserts into the tile to hold the screw in place?
Can these glass shower panels be installed over foam type curbs?
Slick -- what are the dimensions of this shower?
looking for advice.... we had a contractor remove our shower insert and tile the shower entirely.... from what I saw during the install, he covered the walls and floor as well as a creating built in shelf all with Durock. Then used Uncoupling Membrane Mortar (not the actual membrane just the mortar) to adhere the tiles to the Durock... He didn't cover the surface with the mortar, just back-buttered the tiles and stuck them to the Durock. then of course finished off with grout.... *no redguard, no pan liner, nothing (curbless shower)
should I trust this or have it re-done? we have not used the shower yet but it is in our master and will eventually use it often.
Ouch! You better seal grout à lot, I would think. Ilniar drain ?
i BOUGHT USED GLASS WITHOUT THE HARDWARE , WHERE CAN I BUY THESE METAL ATTACHMENT HARDWARE PIECES.
What is the minimum width of shower glass for a no-door shower? I plan on have a 6 foot wide shower.
Does the water splash from the (not covered side) ?
Agreed 👍
Another great vid. How wide is the opening after install?
That a 5’ shower….how wide is the opening to walk in about 2’ ?
What size tiles are those? They look like 12x24
I thought toilets were supposed to have 15" clearance (code) on each side?
I have the shower installed and would like to have the glass screen like you have. Do you know what is the width of the glass?
Did you put any type or sealer on?
