Step 2 Installing the Curb
Note: If your tub/shower enclosure has a curve in
the corners at the side walls, be sure to measure the
distance from wall to wall ABOVE the curves.
A. Using the tape measure, measure between
right and left walls along the flattest part of the tub
sill/shower dam. Write this dimension down.
B. Using the tape measure, find the center of the
tub sill/shower dam (See Figure 2). Make a mark
where the center is, and add 1” to this mark. Place
a new mark on the front of tub sill/shower dam on
both the right and left sides.
CAUTION: Do NOT cut tempered glass or allow
the corners of the Panels to strike the tub/tile,
each other, any hard surface, wall or floor, as these
actions may cause damage and the tempered glass
will shatter. Keep the corner protectors on the glass
during installation. Using safety glasses and safety
gloves is highly recommended.

A. Before you remove the existing enclosure and
all of its parts, check that your newly purchased
enclosure is the correct size (See Figure 1).
1. Measure the finished opening width at the
top (a) and bottom (b). Your new tub or shower
enclosure should have a width equal to or
greater than the largest measured width of
your opening.
2. Measure the finished opening height from
the tub or shower sill (c) to the top of your tub
or shower surround/tile (d). The height of your
tub or shower enclosure should not exceed the
top of your tub or shower surround/tile.
B. After determining that your newly purchased
enclosure is the correct size, remove the existing
enclosure and all of its parts.
C. Remove all screw anchors from the wall.
D. Clean silicone sealant or caulking and any
other contaminants from the tub/shower and wall
surfaces. Fill any remaining holes with silicone for
waterproofing.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, views and directions
given in these instructions – left, right, front, back,
etc. – are from outside the enclosure, facing the tub/
shower.
