- Will this fit my tub alcove?
- It is built for a 48-inch-wide opening and stands 72 inches tall. Measure your finished opening, not the tub, since the frame needs a level surface on both sides.
- Does it need a special wall for installation?
- The frame screws into the walls or surround on both sides, so you need solid studs or tile backing. Drywall alone will not hold the weight of the glass and frame.
- Is the glass tempered and safe?
- Yes, shower doors use tempered safety glass that breaks into small pieces rather than shards. Check the glass stamp on delivery before installing.
- How does it compare with a frameless door?
- A framed door is cheaper, more forgiving of uneven walls and hides edges, but it has thicker rails that hold water and grime. Frameless looks cleaner but costs more and demands a square opening.
- Can the door open from either side?
- The two sliding panels let you reach into the tub from either end, and the panels can usually be positioned for left or right entry during installation.
- What is included in the box?
- You get the two glass panels, the stainless frame and track, rollers, handles and mounting hardware. Sealant and tools are not included.
