Custom shaped shower doors?

I know the topic of shower curtain vs sliding doors has been discussed to death, but I have a question regarding the shower doors.

Was just enjoying a nice hot shower and as usual, can't turn the fan on because I will wear the cold shower curtain and I hate that!

I've even thought of creating some removable thing I can stick up on the outside of the shower to velcro the curtain to so I don't wear it when running the fan....

My tub is right at the back of my TT so the thing is not rectangular in shape. The back wall angles to match the shape of the back of my TT.

I'd like to look at putting sliding glass doors in there so I can run my FF when having a shower.

Yay I can finally open the lid to the fan, after months of living in the Alberta deep freeze. It finally warmed up.

Anyone know if they offer custom shower sliding doors?

Yeah I know I could design something myself, or buy a rectangle unit and modify it. Probably what I'll wind up doing if I do this....

But then I'm planning on upgrading my rig to something 10 years newer and suitable for 4 seasons, so maybe I'm wasting keystrokes here.

Anyhow, it's a good thought and I like modding my stuff to make it better.

    Did you read my post about a better shower curtain?
    If not, here it is:

    RE: Accordion shower door question

    If your flimsy show curtain gets sucked in when showering an easy fix is to buy a better/heavier shower curtain. We buy one with a clear top to allow in light. It is sold by Hospi-Tel and is their Clearview line.


    Thanks, I missed that.
    I'll see if I can find it

    Hey Bob,
    A couple of buds of mine won an award at an inventor's conference for a new product. Basically, it is a 1/4" diameter fiberglass rod with two holders attached to the shower enclosure. When placed in the holders it forms a bow to keep the shower curtain from coming into the shower stall.

    I'm sure a guy like yourself could duplicate it in a heartbeat. Good luck.

    Hey thanks for that - guess I need to get creative!
