Understanding Out-of-Plumb Wall Adjustments
Installing a shower enclosure in an older home often reveals that walls are rarely perfectly straight or plumb, much like trying to fit a square picture frame onto a slightly tilted wall. To solve this common challenge, the DreamLine Cornerview enclosure features specialized anodized aluminum wall profiles that allow up to 1/2 inch of adjustment per side. This clever design flexibility lets you shim and align the glass framework smoothly, ensuring a secure fit and preventing gaps even if your bathroom walls have minor alignment imperfections.
Installation Guide
Ensure direct to stud installation for the enclosure walls and verify that wall surfaces are structurally sound before mounting.
Utilize the adjustable aluminum wall profiles to compensate for any out-of-plumb wall conditions up to 1/2 inch per side.
Install the SlimLine double threshold base directly to the subfloor, making sure the integrated tile flange is properly positioned against studs.
Connect a standard 2 inch compression fitted drain to the shower base according to local plumbing codes.
Care & Maintenance
Glass Cleaning: Wipe down the clear tempered glass regularly with a squeegee and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner to prevent water spots.
Chrome Care: Clean chrome hardware finishes using a soft damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemical pads that can scratch the metal.
Base Maintenance: Wash the white acrylic shower base periodically with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to maintain its clean finish.
Track Inspection: Keep the sliding door track free of hair and soap buildup to ensure smooth and effortless door movement.
Seal Check: Routinely check silicone caulking around the base and wall junctions to ensure a watertight seal remains intact.
