I really like the looks of frameless glass shower doors. This video is a very nice contribution because I had not thought of the possibility of building the entire door from component parts and custom ordering the glass to fit unique dimensions like those shown. One thing that crossed my mind viewing this is that it should be emphasized that you can't simply drill holes yourself later if you forget to request a hole when ordering. The same with sawing off a piece. It is impossible to drill tempered glass unless you have the capability of untempering and then re-tempering it.

yes, you're totally correct. Getting the template precise and marking the locations for holes, plus the hole dimensions is critical. We're going to be adding a templating video inside Bathroom Repair Tutor very soon. So you'll see exactly how this glass was templated and what we did before ordering it. There's no room for error with this type of system, or very little room!

Perfect timing. I'm planning this project now. Plan on removing a tub, converting to a shower and installing frameless glass. Are the wall tiles sufficient to hold the door hinges and the weight of the door? My current glass shower from the builder has a marble surround where the glass door is hinged to but I won't have that in my project.

awesome, hopefully the tips help. We recommend having extra studs or wood blocking for the hinges and u-channel to anchor into. So you could add the extra framing for the new shower

Should the bottom rail be centred on the threshold or can you set it flush with outside Of the curb. Or just half inch inside the curb. Will this make difference

What type of seal is used on the hinged side of the glass, between the glass and the tile? My installer used a simple T-shaped strip attached with some type of clear double sided tape but the strip from the lower hinge to the floor fell off. I want to try to stick it back on but I don’t know how.

We have water leaking from the bench of our shower to the exterior causing exterior tiles on the side of the bench to come off. Could it be from improper installation of the fixed glass panel?

Is any pvr seal in your u channel? How do you put the glass, pvr and u channel together? I ask this question because glass came out from u channel( on the side, not the bottom)when I tried to repair bathroom glass door and I can not put them together. I am wondering if it can be repaired or I have to get a new glass door.

How is stationary glass panel fastened to the floor. Im going to do a curbless shower. I really don’t want to drill into my tile floor after making it all waterproof? Can the glass just be glued in place with silicon?
@stoicape4370

Even if you used double sided tape and silicone with the U channel..it isn't enough. You're asking for a lot of trouble if you don't drill and fasten. It's simple to keep it waterproof if you silicone right. Add silicone in the holes, fasten.. then add a dab over tops of the screws. Then add your setting blocks and glass. Silicone it all up at the end... voila. Waterproof. Also, if you have decent pitch on the curb, you sometimes have to put setting blocks under the U channel to make it level to put the glass in.In this case it'd be super dangerous to only tape and silicone. Tape can also let the glass settle when it's heavy enough like typical 3/8" or 1/2". Throws things off. Just do the smart thing and anchor it all down nice and tight! haha.

Hello, just had a my old glass shower enclosure replaced. The new shower is frameless. The installer pointed out that because of the irregular shape of the shower, he could not get the glass door to precisely meet the glass panel next to it, so there is like a 1/4 inch gap between the door and fixed glass panel. How much space between the door and panel is recommended so that water won't leak out? (I forgot to ask and can't try out the showerfor a day or two.) Thanks!

there are vinyl edges that can be bonded to the glass, that will prevent water from splashing outside the shower. The installer might be using those 👍🏼

we're working on a tutorial for that but basically the fixed panel is first then the hinged door. All the u-channel gets cut to size and the fixed panel dry fit. U-channels get screwed into tile and curb and bonded to substrate with 100% silicone. Then hinges get installed on door and screwed through vertical tile, door is made level with fixed panel

Working on a shower with almost exact dimensions, but I think I’m going with a single rectangular piece to the right of the door. No overhang on seat, flush to glass with a tight silicone seal. Outside face of bench can be decorative (will never see water or contact). Too much room for fatal error with the template, otherwise.

Silicone job is shitty, no offense but that’s not professional work and that CRL support bar on the top is not necessary, use double side tape on the U-Channel and drill a holes and use anchors and screws to hold the u Chanel in place and after silicone around the edges and you won’t have to work about having a bar holding your glass…smh
