Kipnis Architecture + Planning You might want to try Lightology's website. It is a contemporary/modern lighting store in Chicago. It probably came from there.
pgjones Thank you for the advise on hot mopping. Does that have to do with the slope of the floor? One more question - what's done under the shower floor to keep it from leaking?
Height of door and glass partition - Do the door and glass partition have to go to the ceiling or can there be a gap to let moisture out. I'm working toward a bathroom remodeling project and can' move the existing exhaust fan into the shower area - it's centrally located now. »
Kipnis Architecture + Planning Sorry for the late response. There should definitely be a gap at the top for ventilation. There should also be an exhaust fan close by. If the door goes all the way up, it is essentially a steam room, which requires quite a bit of extra detailing to handle the moisture issues in a steam room.
Kipnis Architecture + Planning I don't recall where we got that tile from, but I will tell you this. The tile is glass, and the owner wanted pure glass tiles on the floor. They were told that the tile will likely mold up and that that would be visible through the pure glass tiles (no backing on them). In fact that is what happened. The tile floor had to be completely removed and properly backed tile was later installed, which is what you see in the photo.
Stephanie Duerden The backsplash tile is Oceanside Glasstile Tessera series in the Random Modular pattern in the color Sandstone. Most likely the reason mold was found below the surface of the tile is because the installation was not done properly. All Oceanside Glasstile is approved for floor installation with exception of our non-iridescent finish and twilight finish due to the standards on slip resistance. If you're ever interested in better understanding the installation of our product on floors and it's performance feel free to contact Oceanside Glasstile's Technical Service department, they are incredibly helpful! 877-648-8222
Becky Harris Generally you don't go to the store and buy one, your general contractor has a shower door guy who custom fits the glass to your bathroom.
Paul Anater Becky's absolutely correct. Most people buy these enclosures through a contractor, but ultimately, they come from a glass shop. Frameless enclosures rarely fit into an existing space so you'll want to talk to a bath designer or a contractor.
Go low flow. In this one bathroom, you have five inexpensive opportunities to make a big difference. Just replace the showerheads with the low-flow variety (my favorite ones use aerators to make the flow feel just about as strong as the old-fashioned kind). Add aerators to the faucets ( only about $1 each at your local hardware store). And if you've got to replace an old toilet, consider a dual flush system.
This continuous run of floor tiles from the main bathroom area into the shower exemplifies the streamlined and contemporary feel a zero-threshold shower adds to a room. The shower incorporates a standard round drain in the middle of the space rather than a trenchlike drain at the door. If you're emulating this design, just make sure the floor slopes toward the drain.
A barrier-free shower is ideal for a guest bath — and great-looking, too. A shower bench is also ideal for these spaces, as well as towel hooks or bar within reach of the door. (If your guests have children, provide access to a tub elsewhere in your home.)

This could be good steam room? since it is completed closed in with the door shut. I assume the water will be contained in just the shower area since the glass can be sealed to the floor and the door can have a seal at the bottom.
