Keep in mind that it’s best to start the shower door installation conversation with ABC early on. Communication among the homeowner, the glass company, and other trades can be vital to a smooth and successful shower installation. This is because many elements of shower stall design impact the glass doors and walls. Here are a few examples:

• Shower head placement – The location of the shower head can be important for avoiding leaks. While glass shower doors are equipped with various seals and are carefully constructed by ABC installers, they are not fish tanks. So, for instance, if a shower head faces a swinging door, water may escape.
• Curb slope – The shower curb needs to have a 1/8”-1/4” slant towards the shower floor for proper water containment. Ensuring that the curb is constructed this way the first time prevents problems and extra work down the road.
• Glass/detail/raised tile location – These specialty tiles can add beauty to any shower, but they should not be located near the door. Raised or textured tiles can interfere with hinge placement and even door operation. Glass tiles are not suitable for surfaces where hardware needs to go because they will crack when the holes are drilled.
