How To Install A Modern Glass Shower Door Kit

[@armandodemichele1420]

I am a master tile setter sir, and man made showers (old school way) is one of my specialties. I just wanted to compliment a beautiful job that I am sure is very well done. I agree with the importance of having the right type of bit, I keep the bit longer because I dip it in cold water often because the heat is what kills the bit, especially on porcelain tile, which is as hard, if not harder, than granite. Nothing is more aggravating than having to stop the glass installation because the tile chips or cracks, and that needs replacing, all because of wrong bit, lol. Great work and great video!

[@mikemitchell7505]

You were absolutely correct! The directions included were worthless in comparison to your video. Thank you! I NEEDED to see this video. It saved so much time and likely damage.

[@tartisan]

Love the sneaky editing at 16:03 where you have the fixed panel upside-down and then POOF it was right-side up. HAHAHAHA! Bet you thought you got away with that one! Great vid guys.

[@dUsTysCaTmAn]

Two years ago, your "Complete Drywall Installation Guide" helped me A) be decidedly better at installing and finishing drywall, and B) take less joint compound home with me in my ears, nose, eyes and throat. You have a knack for explaining what you are doing in an efficient, yet pleasant manner. I now look for you any time I am doing something for the first time, and am installing practically the same shower door today. Thanks for another great video.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Great to her. Cheers!

A few months ago, I did my basement shower renovation myself with pretty good results. I stumbled upon your channel after it was finished (unfortunately). On the subject of drilling, I used the diamond drill and sprayed water while drilling, and it still lasted about 10 holes. Porcelain is very tough material to drill. Now I'm doing my main upstairs bathroom re-modelling (almost building it from scratch). Since the demolition phase, your instructions helped a lot! Easily the best instructions on KZbin, and I don't say this lightly, I've almost seen all of the good ones. Your skills sir are amazing! And one can tell right away by your attitude and confidence with which you talk and accomplish your tasks. The quality of your work is amazing too, waaaay above average. Your little tips and hacks is what truly differentiates you from all the other DIY channels. I'm currently mudding and taping and it is a painful and boring phase. But your video series on mudding and taping is what should be taught at contractor courses! Tiling is next for me, but I don't find it as difficult and I just enjoy it more. I have a lot more to do but I really am grateful to have your channel to go to for advice. It would be nice to see a video on how to silicone: which types of silicones to use and where, which color (if any), which gun, how to cut the spout, how to apply, how to spread, how to clean... you know, all those nitty-gritty things one has to know to get good results. Again, thank you for all the information you share with us and looking forward to seeing more.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks for the comment Vladasonic. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. We will definitely be doing a caulking and silicone video. I think it will be a compilation of many jobs and we will plan it out to cover all you need to know. Thanks again.

[@rcortiz6560]

Recently.. I have 2 units to service and both have the same system/issue. What u showed me on this video.. I can now make those adjustments. You the Man!! Thanks

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

very cool to be of help. Cheers!

[@desimora8]

Good Job, Good Camera assistant to show critical steps. Did not wasted to much time on the minor details. Great final video, Thanks.

[@talltree3534]

Great instruction. Love the heads up tips that aren't included in most vendor install literature. Keep up the good work!!

[@talocontracting8316]

great job! wet the hole with water sponge while drilling. makes it faster to drill and prevents the drill bit from burning quick.

[@cap4math]

Terrific walkthrough of an installation. I’ve been contemplating installing a glass door on a tub. This helps me understand some of the challenges and preventative steps to avoid issues during and after installation.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers, you can do it!

[@leftchalldn8718]

What makes me watching your videos is your Great great job and your personality probably coz you look like Greek guy first time when I sow your video I thought you are Greek 😂😂you have your way and that make me watching your videos!! I am from Greece and I watch your videos every day and learn lots!! Thanks Mate from 🇬🇷

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I do love me some windex. Cheers!

[@Str8sixfan]

Got me mentally prepped for my shower door install now...but that's probably 1-2 weeks away at the rate I'm going! Slow over here, but so far happy with all my results. Been taking my time and your videos have helped a ton!

[@jpivko]

You are well on your way to 500K subscribers and a completely new frontier for your business. This is like if Mozart made a youtube channel to teach music. You sir are a master and your deserve all your success, including the success that is awaiting you here on KZbin and beyond.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I don't know if I would go that far, but I appreciate the boost. Just love doing what we are doing and trying to help folks out. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@MarkAlbert]

So glad I found this video. One of my clients just asked me to do this. You give me the confidence to do it by myself, but I wished to have your helpful second set of hands!

[@aaronrhaywood]

Thanks, Installed same shower door, your right, just chuck the Instruction right in the garbage. More confusing than any I have used! Great work , love the channel

[@dmlvsccfamful]

I had to install one of those shower doors today and thanks to you I was able to do it without the missing instructions from the box

[@abekhaleeli6480]

My dear Jeff, you have inspired to take on (most) of my tub-to-shower install. Thank you, and wish me luck

[@mamabarrett]

very helpful - you are a very good teacher - so much more clear than the lame instructions that came with my kit!

[@dhollm]

I needed to find a video on this and hoped you'd have one on this topic Jeff! And there it was, first in the search results :)

[@jiawenwang4209]

Very helpful and informative!! One question, 9:40 just before you started the drill, how do you decide how deep to go??

[@workingfortheirfuture]

You're my guy!!! Been all over grewgle looking for tips to adjust the MAAX.... I've been a subscriber of yours for a while and well GUESS WHAT?! your video came up as a suggestion! Thanks brother! From Okanagan Valley

[@workingfortheirfuture]

After thought: Liked saved and shared (with the boss of the house😉) so it won't get lost in the algorithm and for future reference when we need to do this again. She's always got my back when it comes to being diligent with future mishaps.

[@Dadster171957]

Excellent video Jeff, your explanations and presentation are top notch!

[@johnny12895]

my brain completely gets the concept now. I should have bought this kit off home depot also, i think you have to piece the kit together in the aisle there. the one i ordered i think is very similar. I did not realize until this man showed me how simple it can really be and how well it can look. thanks a lot for the video!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers!

[@168songs]

I have used the spade type drill bit for a few showers already. I didn't use the hammer function on my drill. I find that it works much better and the bit last a lot longer.

[@JerrlEvans]

Very good pace. You show all the necessary steps. Good job.

[@ailm3ntrx658]

the doors are set in coordination with placement of the shower head. the behind door should be against the wall the shower head is on so the water doesn't ho through the gap between the glasses

[@GlenCannon239]

Really good video. I have a business doing renovations and home repairs and I find your videos informative and knowledgeable. You speak well and I am able to follow everything you are showing. I see others post that you didn't show everything you did but sometimes you have to know a little about how to do some of the installations without being shown every step of the procedure. I subscribed to your channel to see what other videos you have. I discovered your channel when I was searching ways to install sheetrock. Now those are some great laid out instructional videos you made. My hats off to you and your team. Great work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. When I first started back in the 80's I didn't have informational videos to watch, I learned the hard way by just doing it and sometimes doing it over again. I feel you learned this way too. Thanks again.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

The school of hard knocks my friend. Most industry guys are really slow to share any experience with you.

[@GlenCannon239]

Thank you for sharing with the future generation of our repair technicians.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I just hope it is helpful , so they don't have to learn everything the hard way.

[@markraymond6351]

The fixed panel appears to be on the end of the shower with the shower head and the sliding panel on the inside of the shower. When the shower is in use won’t water be directed to the gap at the middle where the sliding panel bypasses the fixed panel on the inside? In this condition shouldn’t the sliding panel be on the outside to avoid this?

[@sakura3884]

I would recommend to use silicone in ALL the screw holes in a shower. Yes, the water flows down and is mostly directed to the drain, however people clean their showers or have children and water goes in all the places you are not sealing. Please start using this practice. Thank you for the great videos!

[@flipdifilippo9923]

Thank you! Your videos have kept me from making rookie mistakes. 😎👍

[@michellacasse9250]

I did the same 3x5 shower with the pan..porcelan tiles and the Kerdi shower system..took a week to do (was not in a hurry) same doors bought Home Depot about 900$...heavy doors had no helping hands !been 3 yrs and still no leaks THANX..

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Of course not. proper building equals no problems. Cheers!

[@bbjones5698]

My opening is opposite the shower head and I'd like to overlap the doors with inner next to shower and outer moving door opposite shower head in order to get the extra water proofing of over lapping doors. I know there's a gasket to divert the water but can I overlap with the sliding door on the outside? I have no towel racks on the door. It's an ove Sydney.

[@pquach00]

Thanks for sharing! I installed my first shower door while watching this tutorial.

How did you mount the middle bottom guide holder. Did you drill and screw into shower pan or silicone it?

Beautiful, thank you. That is exactly the shower I want to install in my place. Love your stuff

Guess what! Encouraged by your video and a client's push, I installed my first glass shower door last night. I was glad to have the right diameter diamond sintered bit on hand, along with my strong and steady set of hands. All turned out well! Thanks so much for your videos, Jeff!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Very cool. Good luck with your project.

[@christophermolnar8236]

Very good video, I would buy a good suction cup and a cheap cigar cutter works great on cutting those silicone tubes. Nice job.

[@bqqstin]

Very informative as usual! Very nice install! I wish you would have shown sealing the glass with the silicone. I have a video idea, more of a how-to for home owners. How to remove and clean up rock hard caulk around exterior vinyl windows and doors. It is super easy when the caulk still has some elasticity left, but almost impossible when it has been neglected and solid as a rock. And how-to properly caulk the vinyl windows after removal. I had this problem on my house and ended up having to remove the caulk with an oscillating saw. I know with your style of teaching and wealth of knowledge, it will help a tremendous amount of people.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Very true we need to do a how to silicone video. Thanks

[@JasonSells100]

Just subscribed, I have been watching your video for a few weeks now. I am remodeling a bathroom and have a fair amount of knowledge on what to do. Your video have been incredibly helpful! From bulk heads to pex and today the shower door... Thank you, I will continue to use your videos as a reference guide!!

Thanks Jason for the kind words. Just remember You should have a couple other opinions as well just in case I have missed something in my explanation that someone else covers.

Just be careful and you will be fine. Perhaps use a helper to spot you as you move the glass.

Great vid, only reccomendation that I have for this is when drilling the hole with a round diamond bit like shown DO NOT USE THE HAMMER FUNCTION (IF EQUIPPED) TO START THE HOLE, THIS WILL KEEP THE DRILL FROM WALKING. Get the hole started then use the hammer function if you prefer, 🍻
