Understanding the Anodized Aluminum Wall Profile Adjustment
Uneven walls are a common challenge during bathroom renovations, often leaving frustrating gaps around shower frames. The anodized aluminum wall profiles included with this enclosure feature a built-in 1 in. adjustment per side, functioning much like an adjustable picture frame that compensates for slightly crooked walls. This thoughtful engineering allows the frame to plumb correctly against the surrounding surface without requiring custom glass cutting or awkward shimming during setup.
Installation Guide
Ensure the corner installation area is clean, level, and plumb before beginning the direct to stud installation.
Follow local plumbing codes and attach the SlimLine shower base to a standard 2 in. compression fitted drain.
Allow the integrated tile flange to properly interface with your wall backing material to prevent behind-the-wall leaks.
Adjust the anodized aluminum wall profiles up to 1 in. per side to achieve a secure fit against imperfect walls.
Verify that the full-length magnetic strip aligns correctly to ensure a watertight closure of the sliding doors.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Spray down the frosted glass panels and acrylic base with clean water after each use to remove soap residue.
Glass Cleaning Use a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a squeegee to keep the 1/4 in. tempered glass clear and streak-free.
Acrylic Maintenance Clean the glossy biscuit finish on the shower base with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use scouring powders, steel wool, or harsh solvent-based cleaners on the acrylic surface or chrome hardware.
Track Care Periodically wipe down the sliding door tracks to remove debris and ensure smooth, quiet operation.
