Mastering the Flexible Width Design
Installing a shower or tub door in an existing home often comes with minor wall irregularities or alcoves that do not measure out to a perfect standard width. Think of it like tailoring a pair of trousers where minor adjustments ensure a flawless, custom-tailored drape. The trimmable framework on this model allows the side profiles to be cut down to fit openings anywhere between 56 and 60 inches wide, compensating for out-of-plumb walls without sacrificing structural integrity or visual symmetry.
Installation Guide
Measure your finished bathtub alcove carefully, confirming the width falls within the 56 to 60 inch trimmable range before beginning assembly.
Ensure the anodized aluminum frames and tracks are leveled properly against the tub deck and walls prior to securing.
Handle the 1/4 inch tempered glass panels with care during placement to avoid chipping the edges against hard bathroom surfaces.
Test the sliding mechanism and magnetic strips after installation to ensure smooth center opening movement and a tight seal.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Spray down the glass panels and aluminum tracks with clean water after each use to wash away soap residue.
Glass Cleaning Use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner and a squeegee to keep the 1/4 inch clear glass sparkling and spot-free.
Frame Care Wipe down the brushed nickel anodized aluminum profiles with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.
