Does anybody in the limitless fount of knowledge that is SN know where I can by the frame components for shower doors? I need to custom build one for a peculiar location and don't feel like buying a complete unit just to break/bin half the parts.

They only seem to want to build them for you, at a price. Plus, there doesn't appear to be any contact info

did exactly the same thing a few years ago in the conversion of an old house to flats. We bought aluminium box section and a few other bits off a local metal supplier, glass from a glass supplier and started from scratch. As far as I know it's still fine (was installed about 4/5 years ago). it was primed, undercoated twice, 3 top coats then 3 coats of lacquer. having not tried this before, we didn't want to take any chances! from memory i think it cost us about £140 in all (we we buy armitage shanks chiara screens for about £100 so that's not a bad deal for a custom screen

Not sure but www.screwfix.com may have some stuff you need?

Richard, my local supplier will do box section no problem. But how did you go about fixing the glass & hinging the door, I'm assuming some form of extruded u-section is used? they're the bits I'm struggling with, I need to make a bi-fold ideally.

Andy, screwfix are only any good for the standard type stuff really
