drilling holes in glass (or anything else hard) Even though I have yet to do this with TEMPERED glass, drilling holes in glass can be done safely. Using a drill press. It allows you to keep the work piece stationary and allows for very adjustable, very light pressure to be applied to the drill 'bit'.
As with many products at this price, the header is reversible: rounded on one side, square on the other. The smallest sizes (51 in. to 55 in. wide for the tub, and 40 in. to 44 in. wide for the shower) start at $675 (1⁄4-in.-thick glass) and $800 (5⁄16-in.-thick glass). Photo: courtesy of Maax.
Sliding shower door width. We’ve cooked up a proposed bath with a shower at 48″ rough width. That will get shortened by close to 2″ when we finish with rock, Kerdi, and tile. With no way to do a swing door because of toilet proximity, we need to consider a glass bypass slider. Having not done one, we are wondering how accessible the ...

In a remodel of a skinny bathroom where a toilet or cabinet is crowding the shower, it could be that a sliding unit is the only way to install a 24-in.-wide door, the narrowest width allowed by code. Sliding doors are now commonly available for standard 60-in.-long tub/showers stalls, even at most home centers.
I tracked down some solid bypass pocket door options from Johnson Hardware, a sliding-door-track manufacturer in Elkhart, Ind. Johnson’s standard bypass pocket door offering is their 1562 Series frame kit, which is designed to support pairs of solid wood doors, each up to 200 lb. and 36 in. wide.

Unfortunately, sliding doors are the toughest to seal tightly, so inexpensive models typically have greater amounts of air leakage compared to similarly priced hinged doors. Sliding units are available in sizes from about 5 ft. wide and 6 ft. 8 in. tall to more than 16 ft. wide and 8 ft. tall. Transom tops can bring the total height to 10 ft ...
Put a shower in one end of the bumpout, and an -exterior- door to enter the bathroom, in the other end of the bumpout. You are using exterior doors in the way they are supposed to be used. Everything gets built and sealed up exactly the way they would have, should have been, in the first place. Fight fire with water.
