Shower Screen Wall support
Planning a shower and I am concerned about the usual bracket / rod that
goes from the top of a glass shower screen to the adjacent wall. That wall is plasterboard (no timber - just plasterboard sandwich) and I am worried that if my slightly wobbly wife stumbled into the screen then the wall would not take the strain and it would pull out and damage the wall. I was wondering about two rods - at an angle to form a Vee and attached into the ceiling joists. Any thoughts? |

If she is wobbly would it not be best to make a hand rail anyway, at a more
convenient level? Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please Note this Signature is meaningless.!

One of ours looks a bit like this... https://flush-bathrooms.co.uk/produc...-chrome-gac007 ....just a pole from floor (tray actually) to ceiling with a slot for the glass. Cheers -- Clive |

Cheers Great idea. How is it attached to the tray? There's a plastic 'cup' it sits in. I don't know how that is attached, but it has silicone around it and I guess it must be screwed through the tray - it's on the raised edge of the tray obviously. Cheers -- Clive |
