Ours has two on each side

is there nothing at the top corner? a lot of times there is a tether across, anchored. i don't have a good feeling if the corner is just out there in the breeze.

Is the bottom edge of the glass sitting in some kind of channel at all? I would inquire with your installer.

@nnigrt: Nope, no tether across the top of shower; just the one bracket, and a lot (?) of silicone. @sunnydrew: Nope, no channel at the bottom; just silicone.

yikes. our panel is floor to ceiling with channels at the top and bottom, silicone up the wall. i cant see how it could possibly work without at least a channel at the bottom.

That doesn't look safe.

Silicone weakens over time. It breaks down. When it does the bottom of that panel will start to move. It should be in a track or there should be two brackets on each side. As it is it's dangerous. Have a second contractor look at it. Don't trust the one that put it in to be straight with you.

Silicone is used to keep water in not to anchor things. It's not a structural element.

I have no idea, but is he offering any kind or warranty? You can google ultra violet adhesives & shower doors and get some information. Even if it holds, are you OK with the look of only one bracket, or would you like 2 for aesthetic balance?

If there is no door attached to it, I think it will be fine. If you fall into any panel you are going to have a bad day.

I do believe the man is full of hogwash. evilfij makes the point though. It won't hold the weight of a falling body.

Frameless shower walls should have two brackets to secure it to the wall and two brackets to secure it to the shower curb. Imagine having a dizzy spell and falling against that glass. Silicone may deteriorate with time and cleaning products, and it is not meant to do more than seal a seam.

I wonder if he would use one bracket in his own house.

Two definitely but your glass looks quite narrow and the opening is really wide. Don't you have lots of water splashing out?

Good question, @leelee. Actually, no (to our taste, anyway), we do not get nearly the splashing out the opening that you might expect. Our master bath has an even narrower panel creating a "catch corner" near the shower head. Our routine: Throw down one or two bath mat towels just outside the opening on the tile floor. Not only does it soak up any overspray, it also provides a nice, not-slip surface to step onto when you exit the shower. Also, our logic is, if we ever decide we don't like the doorless configuration, we can always add a glass door later.
