I am pondering on whether to buy a 6 mm or 8 mm shower door, to be fitted on a 2“ metal stud wall as found in most modern houses. The cause of my indecision is to do with the weight of the door on such flimsy (recessed) walls.
I have currently got the studs exposed and I have added strengthening on both walls that the door will be attached to. Will I therefore be okay with the heavier door i.e is an 8 mm shower door okay on a partition wall, as long as the wall is strengthened?

TIA -
