Glass shower screen - profiled floor

[WoodyO]

Evening all,

Looking to replace the shower curtain for a glass screen in what was once an accessible shower room.

The floor is the vinyl wet room type stuff with a profiled edge, as per the photo.

All the glass screens I've seen have a flat bottom, what options do I have here?

Only one I can really see is to raise the screen above the profile and fit a piece of plastic type screen in the gap?

Anything that isn't a solid base that can be sealed to the floor and can support the full length of the glass properly will undoubtedly cause problems long term. It's obviously not ideal cutting into the vinyl floor as it is breaking the floor seal but not sure there's much else that could be done

I'd be tempted to cut a slot out of the rising profile tight to the width of the wall profile, fill the slot with silicone adhesive (not sealant) and then slide the profile into it and clean off the excess, then screwed up tight and left till it sets and seals up properly (24hrs). Then make sure the bottom section of the profile, where the cut will probably show, is sealed up properly too before the glass goes in.

Thanks, hadn't though about cutting into it. I assume there some sort of backing shape against the wall to hold the shape?

Yes - in a lot of cases there's an internal coving bead

Something similar to this
