Question regarding the shower that is tiled with a custom tempered glass panel

ByShowcase Shower Door

Hi Chris,

I have a question regarding my new shower. It is tiled with a custom tempered glass panel and a door. The glass panel is only attached to the tile with silicone and I was wondering if that was safe? My contractor said that the silicone is a special strong type (GE SCS1700) and is adequate to keep the panel firmly secured to the tile wall. There is no u channel or brackets which I have seen on all the examples online, which is why I wonder if this is safe.
Any advice here is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

MT.
