Scope of Work
A new sliding glass shower door for a bathroom in Midwood, Brooklyn. The shower fills the end of the room from wall to wall, tiled in white subway tile with dark grout and fitted with black shower fixtures. The opening is closed with a frameless sliding door: one fixed glass panel and one door that rolls past it on a black bar.
How the Sliding Door Works
A flat black bar runs across the opening from wall to wall above head height. The fixed panel is clamped to the bar and the curb; the door hangs from the bar on two exposed rollers and slides sideways in front of the fixed panel. Small guides at the curb keep the bottom of the door in line. There is no frame around the glass and no track to step over at the floor.

Why a Sliding Door Here
In a narrow bathroom a hinged shower door needs clear floor in front of it to swing, and here the toilet sits right beside the shower. A sliding door needs no swing space at all: it opens within the width of the shower, so the fixtures can stay where they are.
Black Hardware
The bar, rollers and guides are finished in black to match the shower valve, the hand shower and the trim of the tile niche. Against white tile the black bar reads as one clean line across the room, and the clear glass leaves the tile fully visible.
