uh they don't carry glass panels in stock at any of the major hardware stores probably be a good idea to order it when you're about a week away from being done uh my mistake i've been just sitting on my hands waiting for this thing also sorry took so long for this video to come out glass glass fall there's a small aesthetic issue um what colors do we have here for the most part black grout black trim copper right so we're technically working on those two things here's a problem with the glass the glass is frameless which is nice you know that's just a seal except for this little ledge here it's polished silver well the solution is we're going to hit it up with a little bit of flat black paint the nice thing is this part this is the jam that attaches to the wall and then this thing just slides into place and then secures at the bottom well the nice thing is this is just a piece of aluminum we could just spray paint it with the good old flat black paint do a nice job on it and then this will slide in now once it slides in we're still gonna be left with about a three quarter inch strip that's stainless steel now technically we can live with that but what we can do is we can just mask all this off and hit it up as well at least on one side we can do both and that will be a nice black piece and we're not gonna hate ourselves once we see you know black and copper brass and polished silver let's just make it nice it's exhausting to do things the right way huh all right so from my understanding the way installation is going to go on this is this is the wall jam and it's got screws obviously coming down or drill screw holes for it so we're going to place this well this way actually this is facing out against the wall mark out where these holes are use a quarter inch tile bit drill the holes through the tile put the anchors that came with this kit inside of him and then secure this in place once it's in place then we'll take our whole glass because it's got another piece of metal it slides right in here it allows for it to open and close as you need it once you get it in place and we'll secure it to keep it from moving seems pretty basic let's not screw it up all right so we have to now secure this glass we're gonna secure this panel to this uh wall channel again kind of hard to get in there but i'll do my best to show you guys some of those details the channel that mounts to the wall here it because these tile jobs are never like plumb or 90 degree perfect it…
