Hi Vala, great job! That F bracket is very similar to what I've got for the wall. Did you have a full length rubber seal that was inserted into the bracket to hold the glass in place? Also the batton, was that to keep the glass up off the floor channel for install? Did you use a piece of timber held up against the opposite vertical edge when you whacked it into position? - As I reckon its going to be tight getting the glass into the channel with the rubber seal.

Another question - off topic. I've got a 2 part bath panel, laminate finish which is adjustable for bath height (lower panel acts as a plinth on the base). I need to construct a timber frame to suit (which steps back 18mm at the bottom for plinth) and make the panel accessible for later use if required for services, shut off valves etc So, do I fix plinth and larger panel together acting as one panel, hold in place and just silicon around the four edges, cutting silicon at a later date for access. Or, should I fix lower plinth in place to the frame and use clips on the larger panel using something like Keku clips allowing me to pop the panel off. I guess I still need to silicon, so probably defeating the purpose of the clips. Also, I was going to use 100mm adjustable legs with rubber feet, normally used for furniture. Turn them upside down and fix/bolt through upper timber batton to support the bath edge. Is there something else that is designed for this specific purpose? I can see the adjustable supports are used in the off the shelf frame systems but these frame are no good for the two panel system I have.

Brilliant! Yup I'm sold, CT1 onto the tiles is the way I'm going to go. Thanks for the advice and it looks like a cracking finish! Cheers

This is the one I have atm but not keen on using it.

Temp - did you go for something like this in the photo? But rather than screws you glued.

Onoff - tks for the quick reply. I'll go down the CT1 route. Cheers

Hi, I'm new to the site. I'm not a pro just a keen DIY'er. Been reading some great posts about bathroom installations on here. I'm currently building my first wetroom bathroom in my house, a complete remodelling project. Walls moved, joists strengthened, services re-routed, new bulkhead the lot.. Wetroom constructed using abacus elements inline showertray 1800x900 and waterproof (tileable) element boards and sealed with waterproof tape. All good so far. I'm going to be tiling wetroom tray and floor flush in porcelain tile. 800x400 tiles with envelope cuts to accomodate fall in the tray. Things that's bugging me a bit is the installation of the 10mm shower glass screen - Glass will be mounted from the corner of the wall using an aluminium F bracket so that glass sits out onto the tray surface. (You'll see in the photo by what I mean - as the shower tray sits within in a recess). Wall bracket has to be installed prior to tiling. Rubber seal set into the the bracket and glass to be inserted. Which I'm told will be very tight and tough to remove once in place. Which leads me to this next part. I also have an aluminium channel that's meant to be installed at time of tiling which is to be set into the floor and tiled to either side. Now I can see several issues with this. One of them being a massive ball ache getting that installed esp. with the wall bracket that holds the glass securely and then the faf with the tiles. I seen a post by someone on here in 2017 with a reply from 'NickfromWales' surface mounting glass directly onto the tile with CT1. I'm tempted to launch the floor channel and go down that route. Nick, How's the CT1 holding up - glass still secure? Other option that I am considering is to install glass first directly onto wetroom tray using CT1 then tile up to the glass and seal. But then I'll have a potential issue at the base of the glass that could leak in the future with that method due to the split in the tiled floor. I've also got a top mounted support bar to hold glass in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Kev
