When we can, we like to line the top of the glass up with a grout joint or a door header so that it's more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Depending on the curb height, the top of the glass is commonly around seven feet from the finished floor to the top of the glass. Additionally, we recommend leaving a 10”-12” gap above the glass unless it's a designed steam enclosure with proper waterproofing. This allows ventilation for the shower and keeps the glass above the shower head. As your source of glass and mirrors in Chattanooga, TN, we prioritize utility and aesthetics alike.

According to Homedit, the minimum size for shower enclosures is 32 by 32 inches, but most standard shower sizes are actually 36 by 36 inches. Most doors are 28”-32" wide. In our experience, a 28”-32" wide door allows for a roomy entry into your shower while making sure the door is able to swing clear of any possible obstructions. We can make doors up to 38" wide assuming they're still under the recommended hardware weight. To get started with your new frameless shower enclosure in Chattanooga, TN, give us a call today.

Not all shower enclosures have to have a door, but we strongly recommend a shower door for enclosures that'll be used daily. Depending on the design, size, and layout of the shower, oftentimes a door isn't needed, however, the absence of a door can make the shower cooler and draftier. When possible, we try to design the shower enclosure such that a door could be added down the road without unnecessary additional cost in replacement glass, hardware, or design change. If you have any questions about our options for glass and mirrors in Chattanooga, TN, feel free to give us a call.

Due to the nature of a frameless shower, there are few that are truly watertight. The key factors in a shower enclosure that doesn’t leak start prior to the installation of the tile.

A frameless shower enclosure installed on a properly designed and installed shower opening should not have a problem with leakage.
