Understanding the Adjustable Wall Profile
Uneven walls are a common hurdle in bathroom remodeling, often making standard glass doors difficult to fit correctly. Think of the adjustable wall profile like a telescope mechanism, allowing the frame to expand or contract smoothly to bridge minor gaps between the wall and the glass. This clever engineering lets the 3/8 inch tempered glass panel sit plumb and secure, ensuring smooth operation of the self-closing brass hinges without requiring expensive custom-cut glass measurements.
Installation Guide
Verify that your finished opening measures between 51 and 52 inches wide with a 72 inch height before beginning assembly.
Use a level to check wall alignment and utilize the adjustable profile to compensate for any out-of-plumb conditions up to 1 inch.
Secure the self-closing solid brass hinges directly to the wall studs to properly support the weight of the thick glass door.
Test the 27 inch door swing and the 5 degree offset hinge closure to ensure smooth, unhindered movement.
Care & Maintenance
Daily RinsingRinse the clear glass panels with clean warm water after every shower to minimize soap scum buildup.
Surface DryingWipe down the glass with a squeegee after use to maintain a spot-free, transparent finish.
Glass CleaningClean the 3/8 inch glass periodically with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
Hardware CareWipe the brushed nickel finish and solid brass hinges with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
