There are a couple of ways it can be done. The easiest and most cost effective is to tile and then get someone in to measure up the screen. PLEASE…

How fussy do you get about finishes?

Unacceptable. Looks like laziness to me.
As for the mirror, don't stress. Volume builders always have the mirror overhanging the tiles by 20mm. It's a nice finish for cheap.

There are a lot of different options, but anywhere from $1200 to $2500. This one was on the lower end of that scale. We can use a low iron glass,…

I've had a couple of people in the past wanting clear glass over wallpaper and in short, it's painful.
The issue you have is fixing the glass. With a painted piece…

Frameless shower glass panel - does quality vary? Bris recs?

Agree with almost everything above.
Any self respecting glazier should be able to talk to you about why you should buy glass from him rather than China. If they can't do…

Here's your comparison. This is white on clear glass. You definitely don't have this.

Products like Mirrorkote and mirastar and all the others are coated glass with a backing coat…
