• Corner Opening: The most popular shower configurations join two glass panels at a 90-
degree angle to close up the space. One of these side panels will be a hinged door or a
combination of door with smaller fixed glass panel.
The other popular corner opening is a neo angle shower. Three glass panels (one being a
door) kink between the two existing walls at 135-degree angles. This layout prevents the
enclosure from encroaching too far into the bathroom by diagonally cutting across the
front of the shower area.
90 Degree Return Panel Neo Angle Shower
Other corner options are a corner sliding unit if there is restricted space outside the enclosure or a
bi-parting corner with 2 doors.
Additional thoughts about your shower configuration:
• Header: All fixed glass needs support at the top front corner, the neatest and strongest
form of this is to screw a bracket or channel to the ceiling and engage into this.
• Support Bar: A support bar is used when the shower glass cannot be taken full height
for weight/size issues; this is also the cheaper option depending on your ceiling height.
• Vinyl Seals: These are used to improve the water tightness of your shower. If you know
in advance that you'll want to try removing these we can design the glass to suit but water
WILL escape. Some steps would be installing the door furthest away from the shower
head and out of direct line of shower spray, maybe use a threshold to keep standing water
back.
• Angles/Size: Try and plan your shower around 90, 135, 180 degree angles as most
shower hardware is designed to use these angles, this will give you a more cost effective
and easier to install shower. Also make sure the size of panel you want will fit through
the house (and if applicable up the stairs) into the bathroom.
