Good question. Don’t know how to install but our shower is similar - issue is when you open the door you want to reach for the towel rack somewhere or may want to put something on the vanity. It maybe best for shower door to open the other way around toward the sink.

Good point, Leo. That would mean hinging the door perpendicularly on the fixed panel. I don’t know how feasible that is…Thoughts on this?

Who knows without photos of your current space...

Here’s a picture of the current space. I am looking to get rid of the neo angle shower and have a 48”x48” square shower. Vanity and toilet location will remain the same, and as a result, I cannot hinge the shower door to a solid wall. Thank you.

Who is doing the work ??? I need a to scale floor plan to understand how you can keep the rest of the space but change the shower since the toilet is not moving. There are some dodes you need to be aware of . Post a to scale plan of the whole space Every measurement clearly marked and that toilet placement clearly marked .

Regarding towel issue: I bought a clear acrylic towel hook that hooks over the shower glass at whatever location works for easy reach. There are many styles, but I wanted something simple and clear that virtually disappears when not in use.

I would bring the glass company in you intend to use (or two for price comparison) and ask them their advice. See what they feel will work best for you and what they are comfortable with. For me to offer any more advice than that I would want to see a floor plan with all dimensions (preferable graph paper and scaled). Otherwise it is truly not like your situation.

millworkman is 100% correct. Under no circumstances should you attempt this install on your own. Who is your GC for the remodel? Make sure all parties are on the same page.

Thank you all

I'm also confused about how this can be done, unless this neo-angle shower is *much* bigger than is usual, because to get to 48 would mean gettng bigger in both dimensions, crowding the toilet more than is allowed. (and if the neo-angle shower *is* that big, then the change isn't worth the amount it will cost!)

Hinging a glass pivot door at 90 degrees to a full glass panel would likely require reinforcement to make the door stable; otherwise, the glass door will flex every time it is opened.

Check with your local glazier! Another option is to go doorless ...

Options to add reinforcement:

1) Add an L-shaped metal bar (header) over the glass enclosure (no longer "frameless")

2) Extend the fixed glass side panel and attach it to the ceiling, requires a header or a tiled ceiling on which to clamp the fixed panel (not "frameless)

3) Install a glass header (a fixed 4-inch high glass transom) above the pivot door for support to allow the glass to remain rigid when it is opened

If the pivot door is hinged inline (at 180 degrees) to the pony wall (as in the first photo posted), it may need reinforcement as well, such as using a heavy (1/2-inch thick glass instead of the standard 3/8-inch thickness) glass panel above the pony wall. But this is a more stable option than hinging at 90 degrees to the full glass panel.

No it will not, done this way all the time.

Not necessary, as mentioned above done this way all the time.

" 2) Extend the fixed glass side panel and attach it to the ceiling, requires a header or a tiled ceiling on which to clamp the fixed panel (not "frameless) "

Yet again.Not necessary, as mentioned above done this way all the time.
