- Does it fit a 58-inch opening?
- Yes. The door adjusts to cover openings from 56 to 60 inches wide, so a 58-inch alcove falls inside that range. Measure the finished opening, not the studs.
- Is the glass tempered and safe?
- The glass is clear tempered glass at 3/4 inch thick, which is heavier and stiffer than the 1/4-inch glass common on cheaper sliders. Tempered glass breaks into small pieces rather than shards.
- How is it installed?
- It mounts to the shower walls and a top rail, with the door panels hanging from rollers. The wall must be plumb and the studs solid, and two people should lift the glass panels.
- Do I need a shower curb?
- Yes. A sliding door like this needs a curb or threshold for the bottom track and to keep water inside the shower. The bottom guide sits on the curb.
- How do I keep the glass clear?
- Squeegee the glass after each shower and clean the track weekly. Hard water leaves spots on clear frameless glass faster than on frosted or patterned glass.
- Is the black finish durable?
- The hardware is stainless steel with a black finish, which resists rust in a damp bathroom. Wipe it dry to keep the finish from spotting.
