What to consider when designing your custom shower enclosure
Involve Hellenbrand Glass early in the design phase of your custom built shower enclosure, even before construction has begun, this will insure a smooth installation from start to finish
The initial layout of your shower enclosure is very important. Hellenbrand Glass can use their experience to show you what will work and what doesn’t work. For example, body sprays and multiple headed showers can cause leakage even in a properly installed shower enclosure. Therefore the consideration of the placement of door opening and hinging will help you to avoid any unnecessary problems. We will give you our recommendations on handing, wall and sill construction, fixture interference and many other unseen situations. Our ultimate goal is to give you the best configuration to make your shower safe, convenient, trouble free and beautiful for years to come.
Heavy glass enclosures with 3/8″ or 1/2″ glass may require additional support blocking in the wall. All tile and marble needs to be installed using a consistent bed of mastic. Any voids are the cause of tile cracks when installing the shower door. Knee walls, buttresses, and thresholds should be level. At the door curb a slight pitch (1/8″) into the shower will help prevent leaks.
After your shower walls and floors are completed, Hellenbrand Glass will measure the shower opening and check for any uneven conditions. While at your residence, we will finalize the shower enclosure layout, along with hardware finish and glass type. Please note that we can cut the glass “Out-of Square” but not bowed.
Utilizing our accurate measurements we create a two dimensional drawing of your shower enclosure on AutoCAD. By creating these drawings we get very accurate fabrication sizes for the shower enclosure. The detailed drawing of the glass panels are then sent to our glass supplier. This process is faster and helps eliminate mistakes.
Installation is performed with excellent workmanship. Our installers use silicone caulk to insure a waterproof seal on your shower enclosure. Hellenbrand Glass then cleans the glass and hardware on your shower enclosure and makes any final adjustments that are needed.
