I use 1/16th clear setting blocks under my glass to ensure it never sags. I also silicone my holes before screwing down clamps then over the top of the screw and finally I go around the clamps with crystal clear silicone as I do the perimeter. I had a clamp that allowed water to flow to the outside of the shower. Few more tips. I always line the entire curb with 1/16th shims and I tape some to the wall especially to protect the corners of the glass. Once I have positioned it I remove all shims except bottom near each corner
Great Vid buddy. Here's a hint for installing the brackets. When you drill through tile, start it with the bit you got, BUT change to the CIRCULAR DIAMOND BIT and finish with that. ALSO, I kinda like your idea of cutting the screws shorter, BUT don't worry about penetrating the rubber barrier with a longer screw>> As for cutting it shorter, there is no way to guaranty you won't cut through the barrier so ,Just pre-install the screw to get a nice hole going into the wood, and then inject with pressure a clear silicone that will seal the wood. Re-install the screw a few times with added silicone to make sure its well coated and Add additional silicone to the screw when you re-install it the final time and the hole will be well filled with silicone and won't leak.
I have been binge watching your channel for hours now. Very impressed with your level of detail, the way you explain things and your overall attitude. I am baffled why you don't have 500K subscribers. I am getting ready to tackle my shower, and I can now see all the things the previous person did incorrectly. Thank you.
Hey Coach! I think I watched about 50 of your videos . ITS GOOD TO see skilled trades people.e at work! A question about the curb, is it possible to slope the top inwards toward the pan 1/4" per foot, or move the glass to the inside instead of the outside edge? To eliminate standing water?
@@ramsareit you could make a simple template using a strip of cardboard, painters tape or anything that's straight to mark the holes on the glass. Then attach to the shower wall and transfer the marks. No measuring necessary.
I bought the Bosch suction jig and water pump system for drilling tile. works amazing. I always throw some silicone in the holes before putting the screws in.
The only thing I would tell you different is when your bringing the panel in, you need rubber pads everywhere along the bottom. Now your doing a 1/2 glass which is very hard to break but you can still chip a chunk off the corner . And if you have the 1/16 rubber under each corner then its easy to lift aside to add more rubber blocks so that you get the desired height. I typically do 3/8 shower panel just to save my back, but if the customer absolutely wants it then I do it but they get charged ALOT. I also usually sell the customer a panel that has a special coating on it on the inside.Also you can drill straight down , silicone the hole and plus you should be siliconing the inside bracket . Its super nice that you do the tile too, that way you got it nice and square, I just do the glass shower installations, we had one yesterday 1 1/8 out of square, thats the kind of drywallers that are out there...just don't give a crap. Anyway overall looks like ya did a great job
Use rubber setting block and you can cut them out after glass is set and clamps tightened. Plastic shims are much more difficult to get out. But, it does look good. That is one of the easiest glass installs to do.
When you measured I watched the shim bend up. That's why your measurement was off. I'd have measured and then added in the thickness of the shim, it would be perfect. You really should show how to silicone the gap on the wall and floor, it's not something people can just do. Taping the edge of the glass is easy, but taping the wall on each side so sillcone doesn't exceed the thickness of the shower glass is worth explaining. The one glass wall I've done so far it's very difficult to see the clear silicone - I'm very detail oriented like you so worked hard to ensure a perfect application, it's important.
@@curtiscrane2749 Always create an angle into the shower to drain the curb top. It doesn't need much but is important to avoid water dripping outside the shower, and standing water which will result in ugly stains where there is hard water. 2 degrees is enough, and not noticeable by the human.

Another cool video. I’m considering using a clear glass fixed panel @ 32-36”Wx78”H onto right side of curb of a Dreamline 30x60 shower pan.

We set the glass on the curb on setting blocks and the mark our holes and the drill the holes. Elimination of measurements and assured of center of notches. Sometimes we are even able to drill the holes with the glass in place.
Great video guys thanks. Hey I’m thinking furring ceiling on down to be flush with doors in case deciding to be able utilize shower as a make shift steam sauna Thoughts?
Beautiful bathroom! Thanks for all you do on this channel. I’ve learned a lot. Get home from a long day of bathroom remodeling..... watch someone else remodel a bathroom. 👍
ALWAYS have a stud behind the door hinge locations, on both sides of the door actually, sliding doors are less reliant on the studs because they're not supporting the weight but hinged doors 100% need a stud behind the tile
Another perfect install! Thank you so much for showing this. Based off your advice and videos, I created a curbless shower in my master bath that I absolutely LOVE. I am trying to convince my boss to install a screen like this instead of a cheesy sliding door with metal frames and made in China crap. Keeping fingers crossed. Thanks again for the great video!
Spade bits are terrible for making holes in tile. They’ll only last you like two holes on hard porcelain. I’ve found that Milwaukee’s diamond max bits are good. They usually last be around two houses and two houses is roughly 8 showers total. Each shower is approximately 18 holes for three grab bars each. They’re the most cost effective bits I’ve found thus far and I’m no Milwaukee fan
Nice video. Question our glass around the shower only have too brackets to hold the glass lot the bottom that sits on top of marble slab. I guess the builder messed up or not sure what the case was. But they just got caulking around the bottom and the side. Very insecure. What’s the best solution without having to change the entire glass
Put the panel up on 1/8 clear shims, center it and level it and have someone on the inside holding it leveling it at the same time as well as the uc-79 and drill the holes at an angle, screw them in and seal it with clear silicone. Saves a lot of time.
Hey bro great info and video!! I would like to ask you why you don't use the pre fab shower pans? Like Laticrete shower pans and curbs?

Good morning I’m currently remodeling my bathroom and I have a bathtub shower and I installed Durarock and I waterproof the tiles in the shower are 12 by 24 porcelain what type of thin set do you recommend to install the tile I live in north New Jersey so we see all 4 seasons and summer gets super humid and winter gets super cold I have been watching you since September learning and finally at the end of December I took the dive into gutting the entire bathroom bringing it down to studs on the walls and adding exhaust fan it’s a lot of work but watching your videos helped me pull through it thank you for all you do you are amazing so can you help me find a thunder to apply the tile and a good grout there are way to many options out there and now I’m just confused please help me pick the correct products for the region I live in please 😊🔥😊🔥
I'll take full length screws with silicone in the holes into the waterproofing over shortened screws.. between silicone on the hole , screw threads , screw heads, the minimal water that hits and stays, not a big concern.. that heavy glass I want supported
Set the diverter to the water comes out the handheld sprayer, then direct the spray against the wall. Easy, I do it every day in my shower. If you remember to set things that way on exit you just walk in and turn it on.
Questions to make sure my walking shower walls are built correct: Am I using the right steps in the shower walls and is the drywall ok : 1. Install drywalls on framing 2. Cover the drywalls with waterproof Aqua paper. Is this correct ? 3. Install lath on top of the drywalls and waterproof paper 4. Float the walls with cement , how thick it should be and what kind ? 5. Thin set and tiles . What kind of thin set for big tiles What am I missing ? Am I correct ? Is the drywall correct to have waterproof paper, lath , and concrete on top of it ? Can you correct me and advise me ? What are the correct steps and materials step by step?

@@TileCoach 1/2" Holy crap... no wonder it's heavy! Really wish you lived near me, I have a bunch of bathrooms to remodel. Started doing one myself (also want door-less), but if I knew I could hire someone as meticulous as you, I'd pay to have it done right. I've had better luck with DIY than contractors, unfortunately. Wanna fly out to Florida to do an episode? :)
Hi there. Great video. Do you know if I can use brackets that do not require notching or holes in the glass? Also, for the screws, do you need any type of plugs or does the screw goes directly in the hole you made in the tile? Thank you!
I installed a vigo enclosure and had leaking around the clamps. I'm going to be installing an inline door for my master bath, I'm going to fill the clamp with CRL and a touch underneath to beat the leaks.
Also---very important to remember---you SHOULD be using a CLEAR PLASTIC SHIM (different thicknesses) and once fit properly MUST be LEFT INSTALLED with silicone sealant covering the shim to help hold it in place. This will ensure the glass WON'T slip or change positions. IF the glass come in contact with the tile, it can shatter. Sorry about that.
yes indeed. I just put in a glass warehouse screen today. came with the clear rubbery-plastic shims for the heel support, then I siliconed the tile to the glass edge. My shower pan is not quite level so this was very necessary to keep it an even 1/8" from to the plumb wall.
I'm wondering about that too. I've been in a number of hotels that have half walls like this, and there is always a lot of water all over outside the shower that needs to be mopped up. Also wondering how much flex there is in the corner of the the glass panel that isn't attached to anything. Would it take a 250lb guy slipping in the shower and falling into it? I have some doubts
looking for advice.... we had a contractor remove our shower insert and tile the shower entirely.... from what I saw during the install, he covered the walls and floor as well as a creating built in shelf all with Durock. Then used Uncoupling Membrane Mortar (not the actual membrane just the mortar) to adhere the tiles to the Durock... He didn't cover the surface with the mortar, just back-buttered the tiles and stuck them to the Durock. then of course finished off with grout.... *no redguard, no pan liner, nothing (curbless shower) should I trust this or have it re-done? we have not used the shower yet but it is in our master and will eventually use it often.
Going the same route with zero door. I'm currently shopping for frame-less glass shower screen, and all I'm finding are vendors selling with a frame. I like to find what coach is installing with just the clips.
Can anybody advice me how much length of shower I need cover with the glass panel before I can have the opening so there not much splash out from the shower area?
Yep, water doesn't sit on the vertical surface and it's there long enough to get past any silicone - do seal the bracket just for that little more insurance.
Question that may be silly- but I’ve seen a lot of the one glass kinda style for modern showers and I’m always baffled and confused on how ppl would avoid not getting water everywhere since there’s just that big open gap. Is this just for aesthetic purposes or it’s actually practical? Haha 😅
Isaac I was also wondering about this. I’m installing a similar door and it only has anchors on the wall (it’s not frameless glass) I’m also doing an exposed shower fixture which has an anchor that I’ll need to screw through the tile to mount. Should I be worried at all about drilling through the water proofing on a vertical surface or is it just fine to silicone the screws before I install them?
Why wouldn't you attach the clamps or anchors to the sheet of glass first in their precise locations, then attach the whole system to the wall and floor?
If you would like to show your support please consider purchasing an T-Shirt from our webstore at www.tilecoach.com/shop. Love you guys!
I still jam some silicone in the holes before I screw the brackets down. Just an extra step that prevent any water penetration.
Me too . Always.

Did you use inserts into the tile to hold the screw in place?
Drilling in , do I need to waterproof the hole? I don’t want anything un-waterproofed after all this and the mold I had last time.
I'll take full length screws with silicone in the holes into the waterproofing over shortened screws.. between silicone on the hole , screw threads , screw heads, the minimal water that hits and stays, not a big concern.. that heavy glass I want supported
So you don’t slightly slant the threshold into the shower so the water doesn’t puddle there and outside the shower?
I did not know those types of bits would drill through porcelain. I just put a shower bar up and bought a diamond drill bit. Learn something everyday.
Use the Bosch drill bits for tile. That are way better than those cheapies.

looking for advice.... we had a contractor remove our shower insert and tile the shower entirely.... from what I saw during the install, he covered the walls and floor as well as a creating built in shelf all with Durock. Then used Uncoupling Membrane Mortar (not the actual membrane just the mortar) to adhere the tiles to the Durock... He didn't cover the surface with the mortar, just back-buttered the tiles and stuck them to the Durock. then of course finished off with grout.... *no redguard, no pan liner, nothing (curbless shower)
should I trust this or have it re-done? we have not used the shower yet but it is in our master and will eventually use it often.
Ouch! You better seal grout à lot, I would think. Ilniar drain ?
Nothing better then a "nice tight screw"

Going the same route with zero door. I'm currently shopping for frame-less glass shower screen, and all I'm finding are vendors selling with a frame. I like to find what coach is installing with just the clips.
Go to a local glass supplier.
Another great vid. How wide is the opening after install?
What is the minimum width of shower glass for a no-door shower? I plan on have a 6 foot wide shower.
Can anybody advice me how much length of shower I need cover with the glass panel before I can have the opening so there not much splash out from the shower area?
66%
So it's OK to go through the waterproofing in the walls but not the curb?
Put silicone in the screw holes and on to the threads of the screw.
Yep, water doesn't sit on the vertical surface and it's there long enough to get past any silicone - do seal the bracket just for that little more insurance.
That a 5’ shower….how wide is the opening to walk in about 2’ ?
I have the shower installed and would like to have the glass screen like you have. Do you know what is the width of the glass?
1.21 30 inch clearance needed and has 15 inch ???
Come to Tennessee and install mine.
Question that may be silly- but I’ve seen a lot of the one glass kinda style for modern showers and I’m always baffled and confused on how ppl would avoid not getting water everywhere since there’s just that big open gap. Is this just for aesthetic purposes or it’s actually practical? Haha 😅
Nice I stall. The shower faucet handle should have been on the opposite wall tho
can you install this type of glass on the side of a bathtub?
Yes
Wow, installing this shower glass looks really hard stuff..
can I ask for the size of the glass?
i BOUGHT USED GLASS WITHOUT THE HARDWARE , WHERE CAN I BUY THESE METAL ATTACHMENT HARDWARE PIECES.
What's a bathroom remodel like that cost for just labor ?
Great video, bud 👍🏻
Those two drilled holes on the wall didn't puncture the waterproofing system? They went in all the way
Thanks for the video!
Water doesn't tend to hang around long on vertical surfaces... especially up high.
Isaac I was also wondering about this. I’m installing a similar door and it only has anchors on the wall (it’s not frameless glass) I’m also doing an exposed shower fixture which has an anchor that I’ll need to screw through the tile to mount. Should I be worried at all about drilling through the water proofing on a vertical surface or is it just fine to silicone the screws before I install them?
Why wouldn't you attach the clamps or anchors to the sheet of glass first in their precise locations, then attach the whole system to the wall and floor?
Excellent
where do you get the hardware?
If i was senior video editor at O. Tile I would have cut 10:13-10:18 but that's just me. 😁
😆
Best post of the day 😂
Yikes Isaac, we may need an edit.
Aili and I are still laughing....🤣🤣
