How To Install a Frameless Shower door.
In this video I show installing a frameless shower door enclosure. It was actually kind of a random thing. We have always subcontracted out our shower glass doors but this particular job was out of the travel range of our usual glass company. Since we have taken many of them apart, and I have seen several get installed, I contacted a glass wholesaler directly to see if they would sell to us. They set me up with an account, and I guess the rest is history.
All I had to do was take measurements of the opening and send in the drawing. They responded with a quote and a cut sheet for me to approve. Then they shipped the glass right to my shop!
I look at these panels as big tiles. We use the same concepts (plumb, level, square) to get the correct installation. The hardware fastens much like other load bearing fixtures (grab bar, etc.) into the shower assembly.
In fact, I did not have to buy any extra tools or equipment to do this installation.
This video is dedicated to those out there that would like to get into the building trades and start making some real $$$$$. If you re a college student, and cannot figure out what to do and you are just wasting time and money, this may be FOR YOU!
If you are a parent and you are paying $20,000 a year for your kid to go to college just because everyone else is doing it-- maybe its time to share this video with them. There is another way!
If your child is active, has ADD, is an outdoor person, is independent, is creative or is self-motivated please give them a nudge toward a life in the building trades. This life has been GREAT to me.
If your JOB SUCKS, and you want to get your hands dirty, this video may be for you.
Please share this video with ANYONE who can use it. Click like and subscribe and don't forget to turn on your notifications to see my videos first. I upload new videos every week that inspire, teach, and encourage everyone to be better at what they do.
Because I have failed way too many times to let it go to waste!
I love making these videos, I love being YOUR TILECOACH! See ya- Isaac
A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Ed and Becky for letting me shoot this video in their beautiful home. They are on my short list of BEST clients ever. We had such a good time working for them, and their bathroom came out amazingly beautiful.

As master carpenter who had to tile my entire shower from start to finish your expertise has been beyond helpful. Now having to install the Shower door once again you have made the object very clear. My skills with wood are like yours with tile and your expertise has transferred to a beautiful master bathroom. God bless your skills it is so refreshing to see a young craftsman like you in this day and age. I am 62 and you can teach a old dog some new tricks.

I love your approach and also your comments about getting younger people into this trade. I also appreciate the fact that you're giving people the confidence to do work around the house themselves. That being said- there's a LOT of absolute no's here when installing these type of doors. 1- Always use drop cloths / moving blankets on your tile floors inside and outside the shower. It protects your beautifully finished tile work from getting dust, dirt and silicone on it, but more importantly protects the glass from shattering. Tempered glass doesn't just crack- it explodes, and all it takes is knocking a corner into a hard tile surface, and BOOM. 3- Always keep a cup of water handy to cool down your tile bits when drilling holes. 3/16" and 1/4" carbide bits work great. 2- NEVER use a framing or metal hammer to knock in anchors. Use a rubber mallet instead- 3- NEVER use an impact driver- you can crack the tile or strip out the screw heads on your hinges like you did on the bottom hinge during your installation. 4- ALWAYS keep corner protectors on the glass corners when setting in place, even on shims. Once you've fastened the clamps to the glass you can cut them away- and use a little bit of krazy glue to adhere the gaskets to your clamps and hinges ahead of time. 5- ALWAYS use a clear setting block inside your top hinge to rest the door glass on. Just sitting the glass on the hinges without blocks can give it a treason to blow up. There's many more tips and tricks I could expound upon, but I had to just put a few out there for anyone who is attempting this type of work. I have been installing shower doors for 25 years, and have 17 employees currently. Superior Shower Doors installs thousands of shower doors a year, and have seen way too many homeowner nightmares than we can count. Safety first ! and keep up the good work Tile Coach.

@mauriliolopez76 4 года назад

Definitely recommend putting hinges on the door first and dry fiitting! Grab your shims (7/16) set the glass door BEFORE DRILLING and make sure height is the same as inline panel. Once the height is correct you mark your holes by using a pen note you might need someone inside to mark your inside holes. This allows you to have a little more adjust in case you need to raise your door a little more to keep it flush with the panel. You can you a básic clamp to hold your your door up. Also I personally wouldn’t use the impact drill to put the 2 inch screws in because of bad experiences (cracking tiles). Just a few recommendations from my end but your work is also very good! Very clean and awesome work with the tile! It’s hard to find someone who does good tile work while leaving walls plumb! Cheers mate!

@joepeters240 5 лет назад

Decent work man!, I follow you often..Two things..it helps to always use a spray bottle and a good spear-point bit when drilling holes in a hard material, which is used specifically for drilling holes in tile and glass. When you are drilling without a cooling method, you always risk cracking or damaging the tile by heat fracture...it happens....Second..I would install the hinges on the door, centered, and then move the door into the opening. That way there is never any measurements to take to line your door up. You simply get the door where it goes, plumb and level, then make your marks with the hinges already on..move the door out of the way, and drill. And for god sakes!, hand-tighten those screws..we’re all proficient in feathering the impact trigger, but if you ever slip or over-torque...you’ll have to change a tile or two.....you obviously do whatever you feel is best, but maybe for the homeowners out there wanting to try this for their first time..they may not want to rip their glass out to fix a broken tile, before getting back to the original job at hand. I’ve installed over 300 plate glass showers of all shapes and sizes..it is never fun when you have to reorder glass or fix a tile....just my two cents!

@joepeters240 5 лет назад

Isaac Ostrom wood shims seem to work the best. You’re all over it, nice work!

@jimarmbrester1721 4 года назад

Yeah man, impacts can be great, but can quickly cross thread, over tighten, and snap screws. I love them for taking stuff apart, but will almost always tighten/assemble things by hand, or with a good variable speed drill driver. Just so much better to FEEL what you’re doing, and make a correction before it’s too late, or you strip some threads, etc.

@Userqvcqt 2 года назад

I would value your opinion. I am installing 4×12 painted glass tile in a shower . Got a 5 foot Kohler Cast Iron Pan , Full length wood backing behind the half inch Hardi backer board in the walls. Question : Would a glass tile break and fail by the weight of this same glass shower doors ?

@MicahFunk 2 года назад

If you have a good quality screw gun and you have a tremendous amount of experience using it, it becomes an extension of your arm and you can have VERY accurate control of it. But it does take a good quality driver to do this. As for cross-threading goes, if you are used to gently touching the trigger to get a screw started you will know right away if the driver stops turning that you need to try reverse for a revolution to get the threads to match up and then try again. All this almost goes out the window if you don't have a quality tool with a good trigger. If you have a tool that has a bit of a quick start when pressing the trigger only slightly, then you can expect problems. Get good equipment and use it enough for it to become an extension of your body. Of course, there's times where you absolutely must be precise and must use a screw driver. Speed isn't always everything.

@michaelshaughnessy9809 5 лет назад

you are brave using your impact on stainless screws. If you break one off in the wall in can really mess up your day. Also if you get some laminate flooring samples with the foam backing they are 7/16" and make a perfect shim for holding the door up while you tighten the hinges.

@als1023 3 года назад

I love this channel and all the great info! BUT,,, plastic anchors and an impact gun, sheeesh. Not only the stainless screw risk of breaking but the plastic anchors are the cheapest method possible.

@jesseking4815 4 года назад

As a professional shower door installer i do have a few tips that will prolong the life of the door 1.you need to fill those holes in the tile with silicone as well as inside the clamp on top of the screw 2. The curb needs to be sloped inwards so that the water that runs down the glass runs into the shower and doesn't pool against the glass or run out 3. Test fit, test fit, test fit, the best way to make sure your glass will fit properly is to test fit the door with the hinges on the door and measure off the door the height and width and then test fit the panel to make sure everything is going to fit perfectly and will ensure the top of your door and panel line up perfectly so one is not higher than the other 4. There are many more tips that will save you thousands of dollars down the road

@evelynscott4955 3 года назад

Any other tips for this project

@jesseking4815 3 года назад

@@evelynscott4955 this size can be done alone but having a second person will make it safer, never set the glass directly on tile or concrete, first measure your glass and opening to double check everything came correctly, place tape along the curb and wall where the panel goes and mark an even line on the tape across the curb (usually center or on a grout line) from that line at the wall mark up the wall a plumb line as high as the panel goes, put hinges on the door centered up and down in the cutout and test fit the door by setting it in place with two 7/16" blocks under the door, shim either side untill both hinges touch the wall while making sure the tile doesnt belly toward the glass too much, check the height at the stike side and the open space where the panel would go write it down, remove the door and make sure the curb has no protruding features like bellied or bumpy tile, test fit the panel on your line using 1/16 or 1\32 shims (may need to start taller if any features of the curb protude up to the glass) add shims as needed to make panel even with the wall measure gap where door goes and height at the stike.... This cannot sit lower than the door, if it does raise the panel to have a max 3/16 gap under panel to get to same height as door, NO SHORTER, if this all checks out make sure panel is held plumb and mark the center of the clamp cutouts on the wall and curb, make cross hairs at your marks so when you drill you will know where the center of your hole is supposed to end up so if your bit walks you can correct it, drill using a 3/16 relton "groo-v" bit (CRL calls them "super tips) fiberglass curbs will need to be drilled out with regular bits that match the size of the screw careful not to drill through a stud when the holes are drilled make sure the srew will fully thread into the hole, if the the screw isnt half threading into wood you should use a molly anchor, fill the holes with mold resistant silicone or CRL RTV408 (best) put in anchors and mount clamps with the clamping screw holes on the inside then cover the topst of the mounting screws with silicone, put gaskets in place and mount the panel with provided clamping screws with a hand driver (if it came with allen screws, they hold better but can strip easier) now using the 7/16 blocks and the same shims set the door in place with the other person insidemake sur both clamps touch the wall, your gap is even along wall and strike and the heights match, if not adjust panel as needed (if you were double checking the measurements at the steps i said to it should be perfect) line up door in line with panel by measuring panel to edge of curb and door strike to edge of curb and door hinge glass to edge of curb adjust till all three match perfectly, when satisfied place one and on top of the door up against the wall and manipulate the door without touching the panel untill the top of the door and panel are in line mark the hinge holes and drill, (may need to step up to a 1/4 inch hole depending on screws that came with door) fill holes with silicone and needed anchors, adjust door and tighten hinges, remove setting blocks, cut sweep and place on door adjust sweep down if needed to meet curb, mount handle, clean the glass wall and curb, make sure it is dry and silicone gaps on panel as desired wait 24-48 hours and enjoy

Felo makes some of the most excellent bits I have used; they are a little more spendy. Both can be found on KC tools.

@larrylewinski3086 3 года назад

You shouldn't need a impact dril for this delicate finish work. Get a regular drill, one that you can shift into low speed for driving finish screws. Or all screws, less chance of slipping off the screw into your finger. just my opinion. Very nice work sir, I watch all your videos and learn alot from you. I've been a carpenter 37 years and learn something new every day. Thanks

@lsatenstein 2 года назад

Our experience with the similar installation, is to set up the water blocking strip where the door meets the panels so that the glass door opens inward. When it was opening outwards, we could not adequately control the dripping water from the door towards the bottom end at the hinges. If we were to do it again, I would tell the person that the bottom of the door should have a very minor slope towards the hinges so that dripping off the glass door would be interior to the shower. We manoeuvred the bottom plastic gutter to guide the drip to the hinge side. It works with door opening outward. The person who sold us the panels and did the installation was someone from the local newspaper. We tested with the shower spray before deciding to open the door inwards.

@bralic1564 5 лет назад

Use your glass shims to create a gap between panel and door. I just tape 2 1/8" spacers tape onto the top and bottom. Perfect gap everytime. I also install the door in a closed position, hinges installed on the glass and tighten the screws up into the wall. We also install these doors by ourselves, so we use suction cups, they are great on plate glass doors.

Great video Isaac. You make it look so easy. I’m just finishing up a total bath remodel and have been referencing your videos along the way - best ones out there, especially for tiling. However, the only part I’m not doing myself is the frameless shower door. I’m paying $1000 for just the installation which seems to be the going rate for these doors. After seeing this s video, I’m tempted to cancel the installation crew and do it myself (but I won’t because I already paid a large deposit). What is so special about frameless shower door installations that justify the exorbitant cost everyone seems to charge?

@falconmack 2 года назад

I'm right there with you about the high prices for framelss shower doors. I think that is due to the transportation and handling of the heavy glass panels. Installation seems to be well within the reach of a DIYer. I'm doing mine myself. However, I have not found a place to order the glass panels where the price of the materials is not close to what my local glass shop charges me to do it themselves. I compared a few places online, but the estimates I received was pretty close to what my local shop charges for installing it. So I see no point in doing it myself until I can find a place with prices that justify doing the installation myself.

I will say you get a good job on this install. I have installed hundreds of these doors and your is pretty informative. I would recommend siliconing the holes you drilled into the curb even though you siliconed the glass edge. Also recommend try attaching the hinges to the door and setting on blocks to set the door up to mark. Also have to keep in mind that glass doesnt always come in straight, they will warp in the heating process when being tempered and can belly or dive in and or out on top/bottom corners. I also recommend to us 1/4 wall plugs for when you hang your door, instead of silicone. I have seen doors sag a little because of the gap between the tile and the wood stud if there is one, and if there is no stud then you need a plug for sure! Just a little fyi. Ive been installing frameless euro shower doors for over 8 yrs. But Love all your videos man keep up the good work

@ELITE2526 3 года назад

Been installing shower doors over 17 years. For basic frameless. Less hardware is more. 3 clips on fixed panel only, clip on curb closest to wall is unnecessary. Those hinges are dated, use Geneva or Vienna (from CRL) with solid backplate for cleaner look. Square clips better. And always use BM8X8CH, BN (brushed nickel) handles with the metal washers. The plastic ones break too easily. Use wood shims to put up panels, once you tighten up the screws on clips, plastic shims are unnecessary. Plus customers might all you over to point them out, then you have to explain what they do and waste your time. Install door in line with the panel, adjust before marking and drilling holes. No need for a laser and tape on the walls and measuring for where everything is gonna land. Ain’t nobody got no time for that! Just put the panel up, mark the hole with the clip, drill it, put it up and repeat with the door. A pair of doubled up wood shims under the door should get you your height you want and space under the door for the sweep. Good job on the tile. I hope this helps you out in future installs. Also, Relton makes the best drill bits for tile. Use a 3/16 bit. We also use these for glass tile. If drilling in to porcelain or granite or glass, just keep em wet

Hi Matt - The shower glass guys that I have talked to all want to drill deep in the curb and penetrate the membrane. They say that the method shown here won't be strong enough and the silicone in the holes will be sufficient.

We have also for slab curbs drill a 1in down just to get through the curb and then cut screw bc some of our contractors don't want us to hit the membrane. But we have never had a water issue driving all the way through. But I drill through with 3/16 bit then backfill hole with silicone till silicone comes out the hole then clean then use a plus then fill again. Then ill install the channel use stainless steel screws then fill the channel with silicone all around the screw head. Then once everything else is installed will silicone glass to metal and tile/slab to channel inside and out. And as I silicone I double check to make sure I have no misses on my seal. We also fill the corners on wall side with silicone as well. I'm not a fan of clamps on the curb whatsoever because water can sit under the glass and in those clamps. I prefer channel on the curb (personally) but I have dont a ton of just clamps. I know some people like to silicone under the glass if using clamps but I don't like that bc most people are not diligent enough to always clean the curb and silicone can get moldy and then cleaning the old silicone out and resealing is a pain and I feel never looks as good afterwards. But I'm kinda picky about all that so wouldn't notice

I've always despised using silicone UNTIL the LAST minute of this video taught me a TIP I can't wait to try,.Denatured alcohol? Fml,the struggle ends finally

Using Maximo durable thin tile I kept cracking tiles when the door hinge was put under stress. In talking with my glass installer he said we must always use masonry anchors in the tile to cushion/stabilize the screw. I learned the hard way, hope this helps someone avoid my mistake 😂

I would highly recommend getting some glass cups for moving those panes of glass. They just make the whole process of moving the glass and setting it a bit easier, especially with bigger unwieldy pieces.

Cr Laurence makes pads you can put under the door during installing that have hand pumps so you can get you door perfect before tightening the hinges.

My shower glass guy would not have installed my glass if there was no 2x4 behind both sides. Nice way to not Penatrate the membrane. Nice job

We ordered the glass panels. The installer came and with a laser setup, took measurements that were to 1/16 inch accuracy. The panels were installed, about 1/16th inch above the floor. The pan began about 1/8th inch inside. Silicon, and alignment, which was perfect. Everything is fine. Our shower door swings either in or out. We chose out.

@georgejrpetre6155 2 года назад

Do you mind telling me where did you order the glass from?

@OGCJ10 Год назад

How do you adjust it so that it only swings out ?

Hey! Thanks for sharing this helpful video. Question: Do I apply caulk into the drilled rolls before adding the screws? My husband and I will attempt to install a shower door we received as a gift for our firs home and we are freaking out about the complexity of this. Thanks in advance!!!

I did the exact same injury to my thumb nail as well, right on the same spot slipping with an electric screwdriver. Luckily no nail bed damage. The black spot is almost now at the end of the thumbnail.

Hey Isaac thanks for all the videos. Enjoying watching your channel. Tile guy here and I’m wondering about your shower pan. I read below you said it was deck mud smooth finish? How is that Installed? Would love to see a video on that as I couldn’t find anything on here about that. Mahalo

@philhenwood 3 года назад

Hi great vids keep it up. The tile drill bits work a lot better if you spray them with wter as you are drilling. Just a thought, cheers

At 13:18 he says we have to adjust the door to bring it outward to close the gap, or bring the panel inward. But he did not tell what actually he did. I have a gap like that and I want to close the gap but before attempting to do that, I want to make sure I have right information as I will be doing that single handedly. Very good video though, thanks for that, it's really helpful

thanks for the video. when you size the panels. do you have to take the hardware into consideration?....like if the hardware will take up 1/4-3/8 of shower opening?
