    Enclose existing garden tub and add shower
    We have a traditional garden tub in the master bath we would like to enclose with glass wall/door(s) and add a shower. There is a large window above the tub that opens. Would glass bricks work instead of the opening window? Would doing this look weird?? THANKS!

Your tub mixing valve with have to be totally replaced with a tub/shower valve which has a diverter
