Use the SG in every projects but I usually leave the top channel for the glazier so they had some play up top. I usually cut those moulding while I’m doing the SG moldings 3:58 so they’re done the guys. But nice to see someone else using these moldings. I also use them in the floor tile Field.
Thank you for the detailed explanation! Really appreciate! Also nice detail from the glass guys doing 45 degree cut for the corner - from the inside it looks seamless.
What was the width of the channel and the width of the glass? I installed 1/2 channel and the glass company is calling for 3/8" glass. Should it be 5/16"
Hi there, I used 1/2" channel as well and the glass is probably 3/8". There is a gap on both sides of the glass when they put it in and as presented, I get my glass guys to shim it in the channel and silicone both sides all around to lock it in place.
Do you still need to do such a "cutout slot" for insertion purposes if you are only doing a channel on the floor and wall, and the glass is not going all the way to ceiling (about 8 inches clearance)? I'm actually about to install my vertical deco-sg channel tomorrow, and I realized I had not thought about the insertion challenge. My panel will be about 32" x 78". I sized the bottom channel at 32.25" to give a little bit of wiggle-room. With the 3/8 inch channel height, I was going to size the vertical channel at 77 3/4", which would give a total interior channel length of 78 1/8". Would this give me enough space to insert the panel, or will it be necessary to have a slot in the tile, or up-size the vertical channel to the full 78", which would leave 1/4 - 3/8" gap at the top, once the glass "falls" to the bottom of the bottom channel?
Yes, you will need a bit of a slot in the tile above the Deco SG on the wall to be able to insert the glass. It is the same situation we had on the project, only in your case it is floor/wall. We had wall/ceiling. I would go depth of the floor channel +1/8" for a little bit of wiggle room. You do not want a chip on the glass when it is too tight to get the glass inserted. When I silicone the glass, I fill the slot above the channel and glass on the wall with silicone as well. It makes the slot almost invisible. Best of luck with your project.

Thank you for the comment. Please, take a video next time. I'd love to see how other guys do it.
@ love to show my stuff but I don’t know enough about RUclips to do that. I’m old lol
It is quite simple to post a video. Give it a try.
