How many of you would give up glass door for Shub Screen to save weight?
My personal opinion is the glass shower door looks better. The shub may be more functional...but how many people would look at it and just think its cheap plastic without considering any benefits?
The main benefit is that it is about 30 lbs lighter than a glass shower door. Since it retracts all the way, the opening is bigger.

I would have to see one in person, consider the longevity, and ease of cleaning. One concern I would have right off the bat, would be, what if it was rolled up and stored wet. Mildew? Mold?
If you look at their website, they say it cleans itself (squeegees the water) every time you open it up (coil it back into the tube).
From their site...

I can honestly say that my wife would be a hard sell on the plastic. She'd see the glass and think it's "nicer" (30 lbs. be damned).
I don't think she and I could ever end up in a situation where cargo weight would have to be managed!

I know you're looking for opinions from Solera owners, but .... The glass shower door in my Sunseeker was a must have. May not make sense, but it was. The SHUB looks very interesting and might work really well. I would have passed it by looking for my doors...

We like the "Glass!" Would have bought the 24R but my wife did not like the shower area/curtain. Thanks for asking!!!

I would like to get that too for the 24R....Any suggestion how to do?
Other then for the 24R if weight would be no factor I would prefer glass - but would be ok with plastic!
Unfortunately I don't have a good solution for that curtain. When we made the 24R wider, we decided to put it all in the bathroom to get a glass shower door. That also made it a rectangle.
If you have the glass, the Shub is an easy install. The sides go on with double stick tape. Very light.
If you have the corner shower, I saw a radius type plastic shower door that attached at the top and bottom. Not sure it would work with those angles though...unless you mounted it more on the inside edge.

Praxis Group is the one that builds what I am thinking of (out of elkhart).
In looking at the website...the bottom track is straight, the top track is curved. Mybe not doable...but they do all sorts of shower enclosures.

Great link BC!
Just a thought ....who manufactures the corner shower pan I have? Would that company make something that might work....maybe even a different curved floor pan?
Thanks again

Just wondering what the weight difference is between the glass and the shub unit is.
