shower door details?

4 years ago

Hi!
We are in the final stages of getting ready for our bathroom remodel and the one sticking point is the shower door—my husband wants sliding and I don’t! So I came here looking at ideas—and I like this! is this one custom? I assume it has one fixed panel and one door? (He also wants bypass…argh!) is there a bottom track? This one seemingly small decision has me flummoxed! 😂
Thank you!
Christine

    I now realize this is probably a pivoting door which is probably why I liked it so much!

    Hi Christine,


    Thanks for the question! You are correct, this is a "hinged" / pivoting door. It is a custom installation, with one large fixed glass panel on the left, the hinged door, and a small fixed glass panel on the right. It is held in place at the bottom with clamps and caulk. Please note that this is a "curbless" installation (with nothing along the floor to step over as you step into the shower), which requires extra effort as far as sloping the floor surface properly for drainage, and can be difficult to achieve in some situations.


    If you are looking for a sliding-style shower door without a bottom track, we have had our custom glass installer use this type of shower enclosure:

    These have just one small clamp-like track piece to hold the rolling door in place at the bottom.


    Hope this helps!
