shower In a simple installation that looks like this: … there are four things you will want to really study before you start. 1) The size of the glass – Depending on the size of your shower your glass panel will weigh between 60-120 pounds. It’s easy to underestimate the manpower that it takes to hold a pane of the size in place while fitting, cutting, or bolting it to the wall. Solution: Call a friend or two to help with the heavy lifting. 2) Get square – Double-check before making any cuts that your opening, fittings, step-up notch or other glass panels are level and plumb. You’ll want to know this info before you cut away at a $500 sheet of glass. 3) Measure, measure, measure – Measuring is the most important skill in this whole project, so don’t rush through it. There is little room for error when cutting expensive pieces of glass. Be sure to follow the standards of professional glass installers. 4) Cutting and drilling – At some point you are going to have to cut, drill, center, glue or set the glass so that it’s in a stationary position. This may be obvious, but it’s easy to shatter the glass if done incorrectly. Be sure to take your time and follow the advice of the pros. This isn’t a time for innovating new approaches.
