doorsglassshower
I am working on adding a shower in the attic. The hard part is that the attic ceiling is at an angle and I am looking to find options for the shower door. Could anyone suggest any solutions to that??
Homedepot has rectangular tempered glass panels, but I found it cant be cut and I cant use annealed glass as per code. is there any other options for shower doors ??
Below is the shape of the door that I m looking for to have.
Generally glass bonding is done with a special adhesive that is UV cured. I'm uncertain as much as far as the cost for it. I have always used silicone to bond glass, it's what my family business uses to assemble/repair fish tanks.
The silicone would also work perfect for you in place of grout.
Expanding on my comment: I think that the main problem with the proposed setup is lacking a slide or rail on the bottom. Without a slide on the bottom the glass door can swing perpendicular to the sliding direction. See the below explanation for what I mean.
I have a sliding shower door with a sliding mechanism on the top (a stainless steel rail with 2 wheels per door on top of the rail) and a tiny U channel on the bottom to keep the door from swinging. I know, I need to clean the shower a little...
The door is sliding in the direction of the blue arrows. The U channel on the bottom is keeping the door from swinging in the direction of the red arrows. This U channel is about 2 CM long and seems to be made from aluminium.

You might consider a longer shower base - we found one about 1.2m long and 80 wide which meant we did not need a door at all as there was very little splash out.
And we had this with a sloped ceiling as well, the shower head had to be in the top corner as I am 6ft plus - for my (ex)wife that was not an issue.
