Shower glass

13 years ago

Do you have a silver rail along the top of the shower glass for stability? Or is the glass just mounted to the wall and floor which provide enough stability?

Hello, the shower glass does not have a top rail, it is attached at floor and wall. The glass door has to be hinged from the wall, the glass enclosure does not have enough stability to support the door.

Thank you for your answer. We are currently building our home and the shower contractor is adamant that all showers must have a huge rail for stability. I assured him this is not the case citing several images from Houzz but his reply was that photoshop is used for these pictures. Our shower door does hinge from the wall as well. Do you dimensions of the shower room? Thank you!

This photo is definitely not photoshopped! The shower is large, I don't have exact dimensions but the shower is approx 42" wide by 60" long. The glass is min 3/8" thick. The clips are from C.R. Laurence I believe. The glass is about 7'-0" tall. Certainly there are limitations on size of glass and door placement.
If your shower glass contractor is uncomfortable with this kind of installation you should speak with another vendor for a 2nd opinion. Good luck!
