Sliding Shower Doors in Small Spaces
Hi,
I want to purchase frameless shower doors for my walk in shower 42 ¾ across and 72 height. Why can’t I use frameless shower doors that were manufactured for a tub. People at the Big Box stores are telling me no.
thanks so much.
Michelle
Hi Michelle,
If you are talking about using the sliding shower doors that are normally used on bathtubs, then there is a problem… Your 42-1/2” opening will not allow you to have the 22” minimum opening that is required by building code after the glass is installed.
I’m guessing this is the reason for why the “Big Box” people are telling you no.
I hope this helps,
