Hi,

I have glass guys at my house right now installing frameless shower
glass. There is a 90 mitered corner that developed a gap at the
bottom. I'm being told that tempered glass always bows and that that's
piece "not bad".

You can kind of see it on the picture here:

I'll try to take a better picture.

Is the quality that I am getting reasonable, or should I make an issue
out of this?

Thanks!

A Bad photo, cant see anything. But you are paying for a shower to
seal not to leak water.

depends upon the tempering machine. some types always produce a bowed sheet.
others don't.

tell them to try again. that's too much for a professional installation.
