Custom Glass Shower Enclosure l How to Install l PLAN LEARN BUILD

[@roccomicelotta3798]

Just finished my glass door install. Your video answer a couple of questions I had but could find the answers anywhere. You answered them for me with your easy to understand instructions. I can’t thank you enough. Ric

[@nikkiwhite5504]

Thank you for making a great detailed video. You are insanely talented!

[@mattkucek]

Good job!!Coming back a day later to address the silicone again is sort of counterproductive. One of the old guys in the field taught me how to tool silicone correctly. After running your silicone for the perimeter gaps, spray either an aerosol glass cleaner, or a mixture of dawn dishsoap and water, over the silicone you just ran. This allows you to tool it without making a mess everywhere. If you happen to smear some on the glass, it will wipe right off. I do shower doors for a living and have seen some neat tricks

[@mattdickens7415]

Thank you for the great instruction. Much appreciated!

[@rickhoupt6933]

Great video thanks. I’ve been watching your videos as I am also doing a shower similar to but using a pre made what I thought was standard 48x32 acrylic/fiberglass (2) threshold base with 2 1/2” wide threshold and can’t find a premade enclosure to fit base

[@assuredperformance3603]

Awesome work my friend! Great video.

[@steveplowman4005]

Great video thanks for taking the time to provide so many useful ideas.

[@wetsaw7869]

You should make a video on getting the wood walls level and the corners plumb. Nice job!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Good idea! That is important and good thing to do, especially if your installing an enclosure like this

[@cobras_cards5794]

#1 we use 1/4 inch green anchors for the screws every time, #2 Comming back next day just for caulk is counter productive finish the job same day, spray some alcohol and tool with a rubber block job done, great video tho !

[@firebirdbandit]

I want to use the water clear silicone but its not mold resistant. What are your thoughts on that?

[@josephthompson94]

Great video, thanks for all the tips.

[@nwortz]

Nice video, so is there nothing which holds the corner where the two glass panels meet other than silicone? Just wondering whether that would come apart if someone were to slip, or lean on that front panel when taking a shower.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Just silicon. You can buy a top clamp if your overly concerned about that. It would take some tremendous force to knock them apart 👍 amzn.to/3HR5cjH

[@cozydram1]

that was Awesome info thank you for doing this vid..........

[@noxiousmantis]

Did you do the same on the floor U channel as the walls?

[@REGDORTNARG]

this is awesome!

[@nmehrnia]

where can I buy the glasses from? Thank you

[@NogodbutAllahh]

If anyone knows where to buy the glass from, please share. Great video!

[@RayJustice]

Great info. Thanks. Do you recommend 1/2" glass, pros and cons of 1/2" verses 3/8" thick glass? Thanks

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

There’s really no benefit for the added expense in my opinion. A commercial storefront….yea 1/2”. More durable. But for a shower, pretty much looks the same 👍

[@Bas532]

Have you ever had to remove a scratch on the hinge from the screws? If so what did you use?

[@davideckert4702]

Have you done a glass to glass mount for the door?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Been a long time, but yes. Not too much different than. A wall mount hinge. Just make sure fixed panel is set before hanging door. Clamps on fixed panel allow you to finish in a day, otherwise silicone needs to dry before hanging door

[@tonycopelyn8730]

I always see video making shower pans but zero on how to prepare walls for shower doors

[@erodgersthacker]

Whats a good source for the glass panels?

[@tsaltyginger]

How much shorter do you make the shower door? Are you going with the assumed height of using a door sweep?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Yes door sweep 3/8”

[@brucelafleur6446]

thank you . what is the link to your class?

[@ericsiu8732]

Are the bottom channels screwed into the floor? Do you have to worry about not drilling through the membrane? Thanks!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Used the deco sg profile….no screws 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKabZKKIia2UqK8

[@ericsiu8732]

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher thanks for the reply and great video!

[@jasonsturm9301]

Amazing video, thanks for making a detailed one.

[@xbzus]

are the hinges drilled in to stud? What are my options if the hinge is between studs?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Yeah, I always add blocking (2 x 6) behind the area of door to anchor. You can use wall anchor plugs if you don’t have anything. That will work with having tile. 👍

[@Seacow-gm3zl]

Do you say where to order from in your course?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

I only have suggestions here locally in Pittsburgh. You’ll need to find a local shop that can get tempered glass made 👍

[@MonicoMalanguisjr]

I'm from phil. and I would like to work abroad about that thing and I have 2nyrs experience

[@shevinsacrey5862]

All that's holding that small fixed panel in place is silicone?

[@nigelbrewster7117]

I'm wondering the same thing

[@EastMenloPark1650]

Why didn’t you embed the u Channel on the wall like you did with the u channel on the floor ?

[@jovanic38]

The CR Laurence silicone I get directly from them in their store here in Houston, about $10-12 a tube..$60 for it is ridiculous! From what it know they only have a store here in Houston, and in LA..I could be wrong though.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

You could start a business, 😆 I’ll buy them for $50 off of you 👍

[@kam16441]

Yea ive never seen crl silicone for 60 a tube. Thats highway robbery. I dont like it anyway i prefer cardinals silicone.

[@remodelfrontier9884]

I haven't installed a glass enclosure yet but a current customer is wanting one. Is this something you order once all tile is laid or is this factored in prior? I just see where your U channel is laid, so I don't want to be skipping any steps that will come to bite me.

[@remodelfrontier9884]

Ha! Asked this mid video and then immediately it showed you installed the U channel on the wall. Great content! Really appreciate it.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Try my course. If it’s not helpful I’ll refund money no questions asked. But yes I recommend ordering after tile is set, especially for a curbless shower bathroomremodeling.teachable.com/p/custom-glass-enclosure-installation

[@remodelfrontier9884]

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Will do, thank you. I hire subs for tile, plumbing, electric, etc. but save this stuff for myself so anytime I can learn something new I am all about it. Thank you again for your content.

[@rickhoupt6933]

These comments on the silicone I assume don’t know the difference between regular and “ water clear”? Or am I missing something. I see CRL for $12 but not the water clear. Not an ex just researching for my own I am about to install. If the difference in milky clear vs “ clear. Well I get the difference. So please chime in with valuable information. Thanks

[@chandlerfrog09173]

Glass do not expand. studs behind the walls do.

[@josuemoreno827]

Filing the Chanel with silicone is too much work and messy all around just put the glass in the Chanel and run a bead of silicone on the edges of the Chanel and glass and it’ll look much more cleaner and professional

[@josuemoreno827]

Coming back after 24hrs to cut the silicone out is more work like I said before, a lot of this could be prevented and running your finger across the bead of silicone where glass meets is just messy, kind of unprofessional man

[@josuemoreno827]

60$ a tube for CRL…????!!! More like 12$ a tube cmon man
