I recently had a frameless enclosure installed. Same deal - the showroom = no ugly gasket. My house = ugly gasket. When came to check on the installers, and I saw they put that ugly F*%$#@G gasket S^T, my heart sank. My immediate reaction was similar to the previous post - having a gasket makes we not want frameless shower doors. It may seem extreme to feel that way, but it is all in the details. I was paying 1800 bucks for a look, and the gasket really detracted from the effect I was going for. I guess you live and you learn.

Im surprised somebody hasnt designed a cleaner looking gasket since the whole point of frameless is that they look slick. The gasket to me is like molding - allowing for a sloppy install and covering the huge gap with something to hide it. Not very modern.

I have my entire bathroom floor gently sloping toward the drain so it doesn't matter if some water leaks, because it all goes back to the drain. Water also leaks where the glass floats a few millimeters over the floor.
