What type of glass tub enclosure should I install?
I would love a frameless but bathroom is too small to allow for opening of door. A half panel won't work because tub slopes so there wouldn't be enough room to enter. I think I'm stuck with a slider. Any other thoughts on what would look good? Thank you.

onthefence Here's an interesting concept. It looks like you buy the hardware from the company that is here on houzz and then order your glass locally.

Urban Design & Build Limited You bathroom is comparatively larger than this one but hope this inspires you to arrange the bathtub and other amenities.

Kelly They do make fixed glass splash guards, you would mount it on the side where the sink is. You can order them any size. https://theshowerdoorstore.com/quotePortal/910_2.php

ATM Mirror and Glass We do frameless systems for tubs all of the time. Generally we do a fixed panel on the left and right and double doors in the center- but they can be configured in many different ways.Having the two doors allows for smaller door swing into the room while allowing for great access to the tub (and there is also no unsightly track running along the tub edge either).

In your case, given the location of the sink, i would do a fixed panel on the right and then two double doors (to the left).

You could also do a splash panel , however, the biggest complaint we receive is that they can be drafty when being used.

onthefence I really liked it too Mary. I've seen it a few times here since posting that pic. Glad you liked it as well!

ATM Mirror and Glass The direct roll shower door is nice- but keep in mind that if you have a tub that is shorter than 60" width it's not recommended as the opening will actually be quite small (as the case with all by-pass sliding doors). I cant tell what size tub you have? We do a lot of the direct roll shower doors. They are growing in popularity.

Carolina Photo To Go LLC We just replaced our clear shower glass because it became etched over time and we got tired of rigorously using a squeegee all the time. WE have a rainfall style glass now.
It may depend on type of water but the clear looked very bad after awhile and was a pain [to no avail)

ATM Mirror and Glass Our frameless doors all come treated standard with Ritec ClearShield because of that exact reason. I know I don't have the time (or the patience for that matter- LOL) to keep cleaning the glass. We used to offer it as an optional add on service, but for the higher end models, such as the frameless, we found it to be a must have for this product.
