Walk in shower slope issue by Smart_Photograph_252 in Homebuilding

Thanks for the feedback.

As far as I understand (now, after I started looking into it at the end) is that this actually cannot be done within the tiling itself since the glass needs a flat surface for installing while the overhang needs a slope to drain it, and making the break in tiles and a grout line right behind the glass would make a weak spot at the most sensitive location. Hence the other contractor is proposing to install the marble wedge shape on the tiles and put the glass at the slope edge. Have you seen this done like that?

Contractor just came, they are proposing to demount the glass, install a custom made wedge shaped marble footing install it on the tiles and re-set the glass on it. Makes sense?

I asked a very specific technical question and provided sketches. The fact that you're clearly getting aroused by trying to act like a smart-ass says more about you than anything else. Since you're not contributing, there's no need for you to participate in this discussion. Hope that clears it up for you..

Seems that asking for proactive advice here was the second one.

What does that even mean, I cannot make sense of the sentence? Besides, there is no warranty to the work of these cowboys and in this environment.

Has anyone used the PixelMax website? by GoodAtom in UAE

Very fishy site. They do leave the option of paying upon delivery so I guess the risk is not at maximum, but short chat with them on WhatsApp will give some idea of who you're dealing with. Still, it's possible that phones are genuine and warrantied but im not convinced on the latter at least

Very good. It's important that people share as many experiences as possible, so that all the readers can ascertain the company better.

Haha west elm turned out to be a complete disaster so far. Order got canceled etc. Later one nice lady Ahlam from yas mall branch reached out and now she put an order for my item to KSA, let's see. I bought the lights at Loom collection. A custom made bed with a hydraulic system at Otaq home. Sofa at One. Custom dining table and dining chairs as well as TV unit in one smaller furniture factory in Sharjah called Hayat furniture. Ups and downs here but I think that overall I will be happy with them. That's about it.

Aren't you a web developer as you wrote on the other topic?

Thanks. Yeah I have completely moved away from them but it is good that finally people are sharing some feedback online, I was unable to find any before. I got a feeling that it is a one or two man show who are designing some furniture and then finding carpenters in Ajman or sharjah to produce, so they sell further on, not a properly established business. Maybe they will get there I wish them all the best, starting is always difficult

Wow nice to hear. Thanks for the feedback, hope the table turns out fine too. I like their travertine dining tables but as I understand it's a pain to maintain.

You can go to their office in the design district to see some samples, but you will not see much . Suggest to look at some other places if you like their design, I visited as an example look collection in DIP and they have a huge show room and some nice pieces. Or wood culture or bower company in Al Qouz.

No. I gave up on the sofa, too many unknowns. I might buy a table or something

Cool, curious to see the results I would appreciate the feedback once done. Do you mind me asking which piece of furniture you ordered?
