This was a standard sized 36"x36" shower. I am turning it into a steam/shower combo unit. I have done: laid down a beautiful Swanstone shower pan (36x36 size), tiled and backed with waterproof membrane on three walls and ceiling. I am ready to install a door.
By research, I narrow down to two types of doors, those very normal 1/4" glass with aluminum frame door, or those 3/8" glass so called frameless door.
I prefer frameless doors since they are pretty. But I have concern how steam tight these frameless door are. Since in the end I don't want outside get too much foggy (though I do have a big vent), and steam generator underpowered (5KW for a 35"x35"x85" space).
There is a webside that I could order frameless door:
http://www.eshowerdoor.com/WL1_Steam_layout.php.
Since from deck of shower pan to the ceiling high is 89".
I would like to get a style STYLE 2AST that with a fixed panel width 12" all the way to the ceiling. So that the actual door width is 34" and high 72". There is a movable transom as the same width as the door, 17" high.
Any comment and advice?
