How is a shower door attached to the end of a glass block wall?
Sling type shower doors usually come equipped with a perimeter frame that is anchored to the floor and at the same time supports the weight of the door. The glass block mortar joints may be used as a means of attaching the door frame only, without providing the main support. Ideally the mortar joints should be 3/8 inch to inch thick. Drill into the mortar joints a little off center to make sure that the drill bit does not nick the perimeter seal or any part of the glass block. Insert plastic type plugs into the drilled hole. Apply a couple of beads of sealant to the back of the door frame, just before you screw the frame up against the end of the glass block wall.
