Keep Water in the Shower
Self-stick weatherstripping stops drips in a frameless-glass enclosure.
With these new frameless glass shower enclosures, most of the shower spray flows down the door. It then moves across the curb and onto the floor. Not good.
I found a way to stop the puddles with a P-shaped, ⁷⁄₁₆-in.-wide piece of weatherstripping that I bought at my local hardware store. I placed it like a dam on the outer edge of the curb along the shower. It effectively stops the flow of water.

Great tip!
When I put the shower curb in, I make sure to pitch it to the inside of the shower. Any water draining off the shower door would naturally hit the curb and flow to the inside of the shower. Easy peasy.
