Shower wall not made of glass, thin and stable

Due to Corona, progress was slow - and it still needs time until completion. (At the moment, I’m sitting comfortably on the sofa with a broken foot bone. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s very annoying. I’m already practicing patience for old age (after all, I’m still 71 years young). The mind just has to cooperate too .... :cool:

Here are shots of the intermediate state.

I'm curious to see if it really keeps the water out. At least it looks good. This Farmacell idea wasn't that great either, was it? You'd always be afraid the tiles wouldn't hold ;)

After showering I want to dry myself off – and when I'm dry, get dressed – and when I'm dressed, not crawl around between wet shower walls again...

However, it must be mentioned that every surface that gets wet should be dried... even if it's just wiping or rubbing. Your granite needs that too, otherwise you'll see limescale sooner or later. About age: my parents' plumber (now also 80 years old) already advised back then: always dry wet or damp spots. Of course, you can skip it sometimes, but in the long run, surfaces get ruined and unattractive. The silicone then turns moldy. Back then, there probably weren't such things as descaling systems?! If you learn that young, then the insight is there too ;)

"sooner or later you see the lime scale"

The good thing about natural stone like granite is that you can always get the surface "new" again.

I prefer to do something proper once every many years (in the worst case sanding down) and otherwise leave it alone (or take it easy).
On granite, you can see the lime scale much later than on glass.

Fermacell and tiles were a consideration because that would - possibly - have been less work-intensive.
The sanding work on the granite was no fun and I also (I see now) didn’t really do it carefully.
... but you can hardly if at all see it ...

But then seal it quickly. Unsealed granite absorbs water really well and limescale can form especially quickly (by the way, also algae and mold). You have to treat granite much more carefully than glass – with glass, you just use limescale remover and have a surface that looks new every day.
