My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Upper rail is used on this enclosure because it is absolutely necessary. Inline applications or ninety degree applications are different. A "c" shaped design like this needs a stabilizer above. You may be able to avoid it if you went with a really thick glass panel, but don't think that would change a thing.

      Love the floors in this bathroom, along with everything else. Truly my style. Can you tell me what the finish is on the floor as I have never seen real hardwood in a bathroom. I just want to make sure this is do-able due to water and moisture, THANKS CAROL

      HI, did you have any issues with getting the shower doors and glass installed against/with the glass tiles? We have been warned about glass tiles in shower and have some concerns. Thank you!

      I don't like the metal trim at the top of the glass. Seems to defeat the purpose of rimless doorbb

      No problem with this installation. Glass on glass, no problem.

      We just finished a subway glass tile remodel. Our glass door installer will not guarantee that the tile will not crack. Is there a secret to installing a glass door on glass subway tiles?
