Step-by-Step Installation Overview:
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure the shower opening dimensions are within the adjustable range of 54-55 inches wide and 76 inches high.

Maintenance and Care
- Glass Cleaning: Clean glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can scratch the glass or damage the protective film.
- Hardware Cleaning: Wipe down brushed gold trim and hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes that could remove the finish.
- Seal Maintenance: Periodically check the vinyl seals for wear and tear. Replace them if they become damaged or discolored to maintain waterproofing.
- Hinge Lubrication: If hinges become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.
Troubleshooting
- Water Leakage:
- Check if all seals (vinyl and silicone) are properly installed and intact. Reapply silicone sealant if necessary.
- Ensure the bottom strips are correctly positioned to deflect water back into the shower area.
- Door Not Closing Properly:
- Verify that the wall profiles are plumb and the hinges are aligned. Adjust if needed.
- Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing fully.
- Stiff Door Movement:
- Lubricate hinges with a silicone-based spray.
- Ensure no debris is caught in the hinge mechanism.
