Installing a shower door?
Question:I don't know if a shower door will solve my problem or just create another one...I am having a problem with water running off the corners of the bathtub while taking a shower and ruining the floor underneath. The problem is that the bath/shower surround corners are not a 90 degree angle. I have installed corner guards already and because of the corner being curved the water just goes through behind them. Can a shower door system be installed on a surface that is NOT a 90 degree angle?
Answers:
don't get a shower door they just collect mold and mildew at the corners and in the crevices. get shower curtains their easier to wash. trust me i know from experience!
You could have a custom shower door ordered by a local glass company but cost wise it will put a hole in the pocket book, or just go with shower curtins just make sure you have the plastic one on the inside of the tub when you are showering. But it is up to you.
Shower doors do collect lots of nasty stuff and grow mold and mildew.
You must seal the corner guards completely where they meet the tub, and the shower wall. Use clear or white silicone tub and tile sealer. Fill in any gaps caused by more than 90 degree angles. Clean the area well removing any old caulk. I agree with the others that shower doors are a pain. They are very hard to keep clean, and they leak terribly if not properly sealed against the tub ledge and the walls.
use a clear caulk or White silicone one.
