3. Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended for the DreamLine Prism shower enclosure. Adherence to local plumbing and building codes is essential.
3.1. Shower Base Installation
- The SlimLine shower base is designed for direct-to-stud installation. This means the base should be installed when wall studs are still visible or in a rough opening, before backer board and tiling.
- Backer board and tile used on walls will decrease the shower space opening. The size of the base will always be approximately 2 inches larger than the size of the matching shower door to accommodate for finished wall materials.
- The base requires installation into a bed of mortar for proper structural support.

3.2. Enclosure Installation
- Shower enclosures require finished (tiled) walls for proper installation.
- The anodized aluminum wall profiles allow for up to 3/8 inch adjustment per side to accommodate for minor out-of-plumb conditions in walls, ensuring a precise fit.
- Ensure all glass panels are properly aligned and secured according to the detailed instructions provided in the full installation guide (not included here, but typically provided with the product).

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your DreamLine Prism shower enclosure.
- Glass Cleaning: The ClearMax coating significantly reduces water spots and stains. For routine cleaning, use a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glass coating and hardware finish.
- Hardware Cleaning: Clean metal hardware (chrome finish) with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals that may scratch or dull the finish.
- Base Cleaning: The acrylic shower base can be cleaned with mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaners.
- Seals: Periodically inspect the magnetic door seals and other gaskets for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to maintain watertight integrity.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your DreamLine Prism shower enclosure, please refer to the following general advice. For specific problems, consult the full installation manual or contact DreamLine customer support.
- Leaking: Check that all seals and gaskets are properly installed and free from damage. Ensure the magnetic strip on the door is fully engaging when closed. Verify that the enclosure is level and plumb.
- Door Not Closing Properly: Inspect the pivot bars for any obstructions or misalignment. Check the magnetic strip for debris or damage.
- Squeaking/Sticking Door: Lubricate pivot points with a silicone-based lubricant if the door is squeaking or sticking.
- Water Spots on Glass: While ClearMax reduces spots, hard water can still leave residue. Use a squeegee after each use and clean regularly with a mild glass cleaner.
