Safety Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in injury or property damage.
- Always wear safety glasses during installation.
- Handle glass panels with extreme care. Tempered glass, while strong, can shatter into small pieces if struck at the edges or corners.
- Ensure the installation surface (walls, tub curb) is structurally sound and level.
- Do not overtighten screws, as this can damage components or glass.
- Professional installation is recommended for optimal safety and performance.
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area.
The glass panels are ANSI-certified 5/16-inch (8mm) tempered glass, designed to resist impact and high temperatures. They are covered with an explosion-proof film to prevent fragments from scattering in case of breakage.

Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing your ROOMTEC shower doors. Refer to the detailed diagrams in the included mounting hardware kit for precise measurements and instructions.
1. Site Preparation
- Ensure your bathtub opening width is between 56 and 60 inches.
- Verify that the shower base curb is at least 3 1/4 inches wide for proper panel seating. The minimum threshold required is 3-1/8 inches (80mm).
- Clean the installation area thoroughly.

2. Rail Adjustment (if necessary)
The top rail and bottom splash threshold can be trimmed up to 4 inches to adjust the width from 56 to 60 inches. Carefully measure your opening and cut the stainless steel top rail and bottom splash threshold to fit. Use appropriate tools for cutting stainless steel.

3. Hardware Installation
- Install the top track/rail securely to the wall studs or using appropriate anchors. Ensure it is perfectly level. The system includes an anti-jumping design for secure operation.
- Install the bottom splash threshold onto the tub curb, ensuring a watertight seal.
- Attach the rollers to the glass panels according to the detailed instructions.

4. Glass Panel Installation
- Carefully lift and hang the glass panels onto the top track rollers. This step often requires two people due to the weight and size of the glass.
- Ensure the panels slide smoothly along the track.
- Install the stainless steel handles onto the glass panels.
5. Sealing
- Install the bottom and side water retaining strips to prevent water splashing.
- Apply silicone sealant as instructed in the detailed guide to ensure a watertight installation, especially around the bottom threshold and vertical wall profiles.

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower doors.
- Glass Cleaning: The tempered glass features a nano-coating, making it smooth and easy to clean. Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the coating. Wipe down the glass after each use to minimize water spots and soap scum buildup.
- Hardware Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel hardware with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the finish.
- Track Maintenance: Periodically clean the top and bottom tracks to remove any debris or soap residue that could impede smooth sliding.
- Seals: Inspect the water retaining strips and silicone seals regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain waterproof performance.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower doors, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not slide smoothly. | Debris in tracks, damaged rollers, misaligned track. | Clean tracks thoroughly. Inspect rollers for damage and replace if necessary. Check if the top track is level and properly installed. |
| Water leaks from under or sides of doors. | Damaged or improperly installed water retaining strips, insufficient silicone sealant, uneven tub curb. | Ensure water retaining strips are correctly positioned and undamaged. Reapply silicone sealant where necessary. Consult a professional if the tub curb is uneven. |
