Shower Design Tips

1) Proper wood blocking in the wall for the hinges and mechanical fasteners is one of the most important things that should go into the design.

2) Seats and Curbs - must be pitched for proper drainage.  The correct shower curb pitch will result in proper drainage. Be sure to pitch the curb towards the inside of the shower enclosure. A pitch between 3/16" and 1/4" is ideal.

3) Shower soffits must plumb down precisely to lower curbs. This is necessary in order to line up glass panels.

4) Position body sprays and faucet heads towards tile walls, not towards enclosure doors.

6) When in doubt, call the staff at Ridgefield Glass.  We will be happy  to answer all of your questions.
