Understanding Out-of-Plumb Adjustability
Uneven walls are one of the most common hurdles during a bathroom renovation, often leaving gaps around standard shower enclosures. Think of out-of-plumb adjustability like an adjustable hinge on a well-crafted cabinet door, allowing the hardware to compensate for walls that are slightly less than straight. With up to 1/2-inch of flexibility on each side, the Duet shower door lets you align the anodized aluminum profiles securely against imperfect surfaces, ensuring a snug fit and a professional installation without requiring custom glass cutting.
Installation Guide
Measure your finished shower opening carefully to verify the 44 to 48 inch width range before starting installation.
Cut the top and bottom guide rails down by up to 4 inches if necessary to fit your specific alcove dimensions.
Utilize the 1/2-inch out-of-plumb adjustability on each side to ensure the frame sits level against your walls.
Wipe down the 5/16-inch clear glass panels and brushed nickel hardware regularly with a soft cloth and mild cleaner to preserve their finish.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Spray the clear glass panels with clean water after each shower to wash away soap residue.
Routine Wiping Use a squeegee on the glass daily to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Hardware Care Clean the brushed nickel aluminum profiles with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners Never use abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or bleach-based products on the glass or metal finish.
Track Maintenance Keep the bottom guide rail clear of hair and debris to ensure smooth sliding performance.
