Understanding Out-of-Plumb Adjustability
Older homes often settle over time, meaning bathroom walls are rarely perfectly straight or plumb. When installing a rigid glass shower door, even a fraction of an inch can cause alignment issues and gaps. The out-of-plumb adjustability built into this model acts like an adjustable hinge system, allowing the side profiles to shift up to 1/2 inch per side to compensate for uneven walls. This ensures a tight, secure fit and smooth door operation without requiring costly custom glass cutting.
Installation Guide
Verify that your rough opening measures between 56 and 60 inches wide and check wall plumb before beginning installation.
Ensure the shower base is set level on a prepared subfloor with the right hand drain aligned to your plumbing stub-out.
Secure the anodized aluminum wall profiles carefully, utilizing the built-in out-of-plumb adjustability as needed.
Hang the 5/16 inch tempered glass panels according to the manufacturer instructions, ensuring rollers and guide rails operate smoothly.
Seal all perimeter joints with a quality silicone waterproof sealant after installation is complete.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing: Spray down the glass panels and shower base with clean warm water after each use to remove soap residue.
Glass Cleaning: Use a standard squeegee or a mild vinegar-based glass cleaner to maintain crystal clear tempered glass.
Frame Care: Wipe down anodized aluminum guide rails and towel bars with a soft damp cloth and mild soap.
Avoid Abrasveis: Never use harsh chemical scrubbing pads or abrasive cleansers that can scratch glass or finish surfaces.
Base Upkeep: Clean the single threshold acrylic shower base regularly with non-abrasive bathroom cleaners to preserve its finish.
