Shower enclosure design tips:
Several design considerations should be taken into account as your project progresses.
Placement of showerheads/sprays should be directed toward tiled walls and away from enclosure openings. Incorrectly placed heads/sprays can and will cause leaks.
Be aware that the use of glass tile - particularly in critical hardware attachment areas - is discouraged. Glass tiles tend to break or crack when being drilled through, or even after installation due to the stresses and movement of doors or hardware.
Use of contoured tile may result in larger than typical gaps which will require additional caulking and may result in an uneven appearance.
If the enclosure is a neo-angle design, please see the illustration below to review proper wall construction.
All floors, curbs and seats should be pitched away from glass to eliminate standing water and leaks.
Door heights exceeding 90” typically require a transom panel above the door.
