For terminal klutzes like me, frameless glass shower stalls (or even
doors) are out of the question, period. I realize the tempered glass
makes gravel, not knives, when you break it. But those panels cost a
fortune to replace, and take weeks to get installed. I don't want the
glass to be a structural element, I just want it to ride in its nice
shock-absorbing gasket, repelling water.
