Over the years we have run into numerous shower design flaws that contractors and other designers have overlooked. Unfortunately, these flaws are often more than cosmetic—most of the time these flaws can set a shower enclosure build out behind schedule and over budget. To help you avoid these all-too-common flaws, we present to you 4 essential design tips to keep in mind before you begin your shower enclosure project:
Nozzle Placement
To maximize comfort and minimize the mess, make sure that all body sprays and showerheads are directed towards the tile wall of fixed panel opposite them. In other words, try to keep direct water spray away from the opening as much as possible.
Pitched Curb
One of the most important design tips for your new shower enclosure is to make sure your curb (which is located directly underneath the glass shower door) is correctly pitched so that the water can flow back into the shower and not onto the bathroom floor.
Level the Rise
If you want to avoid using a costly double-cut door, make sure to level the rise where the door opens and closes. Any gaps between the rise and the door can and will result in serious leakage issues.
Avoid Glass Tiles
Thinking about a frameless shower enclosure? If so, then avoid using glass tiles in your shower. A frameless shower enclosure requires drilling into the tile, and glass will inevitably crack during the process.

There’s nothing quite like a hot shower at home after a long and tiring day—but if you think every shower is the same, think again. From all-in-one steam showers to custom-designed enclosures, you can have the shower of your dreams installed in your very own home. The first step, however, is hiring a quality shower installation company.
Here are a few things to look for to help you in your search:
Design Help
Even if you have an idea of what you’d like your new shower to look like, it’s always a good idea to discuss your vision with a professional shower designer. If you want a shower that you’ll be as eager to show off as you are to use, then be sure to select a company that has plenty of design experience. Trust us; you’ll be amazed what a custom designed shower enclosure can do for your comfort at home.
Glass and Hardware Options
If you’re thinking about having a custom designed shower installed in your home, be sure to select an installation company that provides you with the most glass and hardware options. Some of the hardware options you can choose from include hinges, towel bars, door pulls, door knobs, and seals.
Full-Time Employees
To ensure that your shower materials are designed, manufactured, and installed with the highest level of quality, select a company that does not utilize middlemen or sub-contractors. The only way to fabricate and install a quality shower enclosure is to be familiar with the glass being used; and the only way to be truly familiar is to have experience.
