Embedding shower screen in tiles... - Tile Advice

[Jayney71]

So your glass you have is 400mm. You want to slide the glass into the nib 100 mm, leaving only 300mm exposed?

There’s profiles you can get for the wall and floor, I use mainly majestic screens. That are almost invisible.

I certainly wouldn’t be burying the glass 4 inches in the wall.

Hmmm, seems like this might not have been the best idea! Can you recommend a profile?

Schluter do a U wall & floor profile/channel to embed glass.
I think it's called Schluter Deco?

I think @3_fall has done a job with this sort of set up in recent times and might be able to offer a few ideas.

Hi

I've just looked at that and it would be possible for us to use it in the wall but our floor tiles are already laid with a slot cut for the glass so we wouldn't be able to set the flange underneath the tiles. Do Schluter do a plain U channel (without the flange)?

We've already used FINEC for corners (which looks really neat) in the stone grey and dark graphite colours. Do you do the DECO-SG and/or any other U channel to match the stone grey, or in stainless steel which would match our slot drain?

Many thanks
J

Why bother with the glass at all, just extend the wall/nib to the length you want it, as for sinking the glass into the floor your just asking for trouble.

Probably because she doesn’t want it dark and enclosed, Simon.

I do agree with Simon as to sinking the screen into the floor . I would just silicone to floor because if you think about it, if you we're to knock it hard enough to break the silicone seal that would be an almighty wack . After all nobody seems to have a problem siliconing shower screens to walk in showers , same difference .

Maybe but we're only talking 300mm of glass here, better off putting a couple of IP65's downlights in there.
