    Shower panel with glass tiles - your thoughts?

    You could actually set them (tiles) in place with an adhesive silicone and "seal" around them with a colormatch silicone to eliminate the grout.

    Shower panel with glass tiles - your thoughts?

    Just finished up a new display in our showroom. Wanted to get a little creative with our shower panels. So we decided to drill some 'extra holes' in the panels and insert some glass tiles. Going for a "bubble" effect. What do you think? Cheers!

    Wet spot on wall I can't explain

    Ya - that is almost definitely coming from the seam where your wall panels 'snap' into your bathtub. Once you remove the sheertock in the effected area you will expose the flange that attaches to your framing. Run your shower and confirm the leak out of that exact area. Apply silicone in the...
