Default Shower doors

Sorry... I meant 3/8" glass doors. That's what the high end ones are.
My bathroom is too small to do anything more than a fixed panel and a
swinging door. I should mention, it is quite humid/foggy where I live,
and every sliding shower door I have had has been a chore to keep
clean.

I think I'll recommend that one should just go to a local glass
manufacturer and have them made. Any place that can do 3/8" tempered
glass and put hinges on it. That sounds like a good idea. I'm getting
some glass shelves made, and I should have just had that thrown in.
This is the price I pay for being lazy and going to the HD.

Seems like Holcam upsells the shower doors as some sort of "European
design" thing, but it's just thick glass. I think they look fine, and
I've figured out how to minimize the leakage. My only beef with the
manufacturer is that they charge a lot of money for stuff that seems to
be sloppily manufactured.

I purchased a lot of custom made cabinetry, and there are small
scratches, etc. I had no problem with this, because they were 1/2 the
price of anything else, and were willing to refinish any of the doors
that were damaged in transit or manufacturing.

It's just when you pay top dollar for something, and get the scratch n'
dent floormodel quality -- that's just wrong and extremely annoying.
