Complete Kit: Includes the Prime Shower Enclosure and SlimLine Shower Base measuring 33 in. x 33 in. x 74 3/4 in. H with an 18 11/16 in. walk-in opening.
Sliding Glass Doors: Center opening dual sliding door design with a full length magnetic strip for a reliable watertight closure.
Tempered Glass: Constructed with quality 1/4 in. (6mm) certified frosted glass for privacy and safety.
Adjustable Profiles: Anodized aluminum wall profiles provide up to 1 in. of adjustment per side for out-of-plumb walls.
Low Profile Base: Curved neo round SlimLine shower base reinforced with fiberglass, featuring a glossy acrylic finish and slip-resistant textured floor.
Leak Prevention: Integrated tile flange on the base helps protect against water leaks during daily use.
Understanding the Neo Round Design
The neo round configuration of the Prime enclosure is engineered to maximize floor space in tight bathroom layouts. By curving the front glass outward while squaring off the back against the corner walls, this design acts much like cutting the corner off a square table; it removes a sharp physical obstruction from your walking path while preserving generous interior standing room. This thoughtful geometry allows you to install a comfortable shower in areas where a standard square or rectangular enclosure might feel cramped or block natural walkways.
Installation Guide
Review local plumbing codes before starting your project, as requirements vary by state.
Ensure direct-to-stud installation for the shower base, utilizing the integrated tile flange to prevent water leaks.
Take advantage of the anodized aluminum wall profiles to accommodate up to 1 in. of adjustment per side if walls are slightly out of plumb.
Pair the unit with any standard 2 in. compression fitted drain, noting that the drain is not included in the kit.
Professional installation is recommended for best results and secure alignment.
Care & Maintenance
Glass Cleaning: Wipe down the 1/4 in. frosted glass regularly with a squeegee and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent water spot buildup.
Base Maintenance: Clean the glossy acrylic shower base using a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and mild liquid dish soap.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical solvents on the acrylic surface or aluminum frames.
Hardware Care: Wipe the brushed nickel door hardware dry with a clean microfiber cloth after use to maintain its finish.
Seal Inspection: Periodically check the full-length magnetic strip and door seals to ensure they remain clean and properly aligned for a watertight closure.

Engineering Longevity and Everyday Reliability
Choosing a shower enclosure and base kit involves looking beyond immediate aesthetics to consider how materials will perform under years of daily use. The DreamLine Prime series relies on robust structural elements like fiberglass reinforcement within the acrylic base to prevent flexing and ensure long-term stability underfoot. The anodized aluminum wall profiles resist corrosion and wear from high-humidity bathroom environments, maintaining their structural integrity and polished look over time. This careful pairing of durable framing and resilient surfacing minimizes the need for frequent adjustments or repairs, giving you dependable performance day after day.
Beyond structural durability, this enclosure system contributes to a safer and more manageable daily routine. The slip-resistant textured floor on the SlimLine base provides secure footing, while the integrated tile flange actively directs water runoff toward the drain to protect underlying subfloors from moisture damage. Maintenance is simplified thanks to smooth acrylic finishes and easy-to-clean tempered glass surfaces that resist everyday soap residue with minimal effort. By combining thoughtful space-saving geometry with high-grade components, this DreamLine kit delivers a balanced showering experience built for lasting satisfaction.
