Trw144 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I m having trouble finding a 1200-1300mm wide shower screen that only uses a side fixing system (ie. No support arm at the top). I m m not sure how dependent they are on the support arm for strength and whether installing one without the arm would cause issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Would this work ..? Just a connection at the end if you look carefully about 200mm from the wall end http://www.betterbathrooms.com/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/1850-x-1200-walk-in-glass-shower-screen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Possibly - I guess I could just get one, not fit the bar and add it if it seems a bit wobbly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 10mm glass won't move if it's secured on the wall and on the floor - even at 1200mm any reason you can't secure to the ceiling ..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 I could, but it's another support bar and I antd to keep it minimal. It it would not be secured on the floor - just the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitpipe Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 We struggled to find a solution to a shower screen, we needed to fix from side vs the rear of the trim - could not find a system that did this so ended up buying the 8mm glass separately from the trim. The trim was cut to size + 2mm and was bonded onto the glass with Sikaflex leaving the 2mm overhang where it meets the floor. The glass was then put in position and the trim bonded to the tiled wall using more Sikaflex and we rested it on 2mm spacers onto the tray. We then filled the gap between glass and tray with clear Sikaflex, leaving gaps around the spacers, and next day pulled them out and filled those gaps. We did add a bar just for peace of mind, as it's my sons bathroom, and to minimise any wobble but to be honest it's rock solid without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_1980 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) You want the simpsons frameless single fix 10, I know they do a 1200mm panel as I have one in our house but I am not sure if the do a larger size Edited November 10, 2016 by Mikey_1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) That's the job. Quite a lot for the 1200mm one though - wondering whether I look to buy the glass and channel system separately. edit. Just looked and I can get a made to measure one (so full height and fixed to the ceiling) for around £400 Edited November 10, 2016 by Trw144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 My mate did that. Just bought a 1400x1800 piece of smoked, tempered glass, and a chrome wall channel. Looked the bollocks. He asked me to manage the transition from downstairs to upstairs and supply a few pairs of hands. As he was a friend in need I naturally said no chance . I knew him well enough to know he'd have made me buy it if we broke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted as it takes three weeks to get a new one, and we move in in two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
