Frameless shower: clips that penetrate curb?

4 years ago

I’m just about to submit an order for my frameless glass shower (tomorrow). However, in the drawing of the shower, I notice that mulitiple clips are propsed to penetrate the curb. This surprises me.


Are these pentrations a leak/other concern? I asked…and both my GC and project manager said this is normal, has never been a problem for them, and is industry standard. I just want to ensure I get a sound structure… Appreciate any advice/experience.


Proposed shower glass. Note : 3 clips would penetrate the curb.



Decent website that outlines pentrations not being a good thing.

Just for kicks:

Photos of my process. They waterproofed and have slight inward pitch on the curb. (Shower floor and curb pending grout in final pic.)
