Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for the correct height of sliding glass doors to be mounted on a shower-tub? For example, should the top of the sliding doors be level with the shower head? Or higher, or lower?
My bathroom has 10 foot high ceilings and the top of the tub is 14 inches off the floor. The tub enclosure is tiled to a height of 74 in off the top of the tub. The height of the shower head is 61 in off the top of the tub, while the pipe that feeds it enters the wall a bit higher at 67 in off the top of the tub. Thus, if I use standard (non custom) doors, that usually are in the range of 56-58 in tall (from bottom of bottom track to top of the top rail), the top of the top rail will be below the shower head and a good 50-52 inches from the ceiling. I am worried that it will look too short.
