Gap Above Shower Door

The door guy said 24 inches is a good number depending of course on your ceiling height.

Gap above shower door. Tear off the tile of the existing wall in question. Then build it out with 1 2 hardee board or durock and then cover it with tile. Bypass or sliding shower doors are a common solution for a small bathroom or bathtub showers. The industry standard is 1 16 but i think even that is pushing it.

The edge seal along that edge is probably there to hide the condition you are describing. That s with floor to door top height of 7 feet. Decorative panels intended for use as backsplashes on kitchen and bathroom sinks can be installed above the shower surround. Different types of weatherstripping are made from rubber felt and foam.

I think it is reasonable to reject the 1 4 difference in size of the gap between the door and fixed panel. Sliding door operation requires no floor space for opening door. This dimension might be direct to stud or between two wall coverings. When framing the alcove do not add any extra space to accommodate the shower tub.

Question is will it be a problem only having a 6cm air gap above the door and side panel. Raised decorative metal panels that are designed to look. Consist of two and sometimes three panels that slide along each other on tracks. A small gap above the door can be filled by weatherstripping which is flexible and will conform to the gap filling the space up and preventing air from entering and exiting.

Ideal for wide openings with a typical opening of 60 inches wide. Shower enclosure seem to come in 1 85m 1 9m and 1 95m. Some are nailed on some have adhesive backings and some slide into a notch in the door jamb. There is an extractor in the ceiling about 50cm away from where the door will be.

It must be exactly 60 inches. The one i like twyford t4 or geo6 is 1 9m.
