Ok at 3:21 is where home owners will be breaking this piece of glass if you have a thresh hold that is hard tile or granite. When I install panels I use bigger 1/4 spacers lots, get the panel in place and then come in with in this case 1/8 spacers right at the corners of the glass. The corner of the glass is its weakest spot if you tap the tile or ultra hard surface it will bust the glass into a million pieces. So extreme care is needed.....your welcome Glass Warehouse
At 8:18 I would put the corner protectors on if I was a home owner again as a precaution not to break the glass. This video assumes you have a robot that can lower glass precisely over tile and other hard surfaces without breaking it. If you accidently tilt the glass one way or the other ....BOOM !!!!!
Ok what size drill bit would be good to show in the video
My shower head is on the left side as you look at it. We want to enter from the right side of the shower. If we enter from the left like the instructions the commode will be in the way. Is it possible to switch sides without creating that seem between the doors so water will escape from?
you just put it in flipping it like mirror reverse
Can you put the stationary panel next to the shower head, and the moving panel (door) on the other side sliding on the OUTSIDE of the shower (away from the shower head)? This would still keep spray from the showerhead from getting between the panels.
Did you do this? How did it work out?
@@MrJakesnake6 FLAWLESS! Ok, there are some compromises. I need to go all the way into the shower before I turn on the water, which isn't ideal--but I just aim the shower head away from me while the water warms up. Also, the rollers are a bit prettier on the inside of the shower than on the outside--but it's all darned pretty either way. The assembly instruction video is AWESOME, so it's easy to see what adjustments are required to assemble the shower in the way I've described. (For example, no, you don't start by putting the sliding panel on the inside of the shower; it's going to be on the OUTSIDE of the shower, so leave it out there as you install the rest.) Is there some way I could post a photo here? (If I think of it when I get home, I'll post something to UA-cam.)
@@nobodydotreally I would love to see a picture of how you did this. Sounds like I am doing the same set up as you are.
Here's a video of my (quite successful) results: ua-cam.com/video/uP3Y2Z54tOg/v-deo.html
@@Stevenbalee See below.
Will This work on a curbless/barrier free shower?
Don't see why not.
How do you escape from this shower? The only handle is on the exterior!
Ok, I figured this out: The pretty handle is on the outside, but there's a nice "knob" that extends on the inside, opposite the handle, which lets me slide the door. As noted above, I assembled my shower in a slightly different way than the manufacture recommends, but the handle works fine either way.
What is the purpose for metal strip that they install on the floor on the right side at the end?? I don’t get it.
@@glasswarehouse what if the curb is pitched towards the shower like 1/8 inch do you need this metal strip or is it just insurance?
I had same question. With a pitched curb, I don’t see the point of the strip. I’m going to test it without strip when we install it in the coming week and reply back with my results.
@@edwurtle please let me know, I plan on trying without the strip aswell but im like 2 months out before id install.
@@throlyhd9448 I installed without the strip. After a 10 minute shower, only sprinkles of water leak under the shower door. Most don't come close the to edge of the curb. Maybe two small drops barely reached the edge of the curb, however no water went past the edge. Bathroom floor and front of curb stayed completely dry. I think it mainly depends on your size of shower... larger the shower less chance of water leaking. For reference, I have a 68" x 41" shower pan with a cut down schluter curb which slopes inwards. My contractor told me he only installs the strip on request, he doesn't see any benefit of the strip. I also did not silicone the fixed panel.. barely any water leaks under fixed panel. I also have a a 1/4" gap on the fixed panel wall side (due to unleveled outside wall), no water leaks there under normal use. Also only used a one of the plastic gaskets (handle edge of door panel)... Only issue we might run into is cleaning the shower using the shower wand... we'll have to be careful spraying directly toward shower door edges. I suggest to try without the strip and try without silicone. You can easily add strip and silicone later.
@@edwurtle thx for the data👍
