Preparation

1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the piece count with the packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this introduction carefully. Check that all of the necessary parts are included in the package by checking off the components on the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please contact our customer support department within 3 business

days of the delivery date. Please note that DreamLine® will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed.

2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on installation

compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and DreamLine not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any returns.

3. This acrylic wall system is specially designed to be installed over any solid surface. If you are installing the acrylic walls over the existing tiles, remove all loose tiles before the installation. If you are installing over the existing painted walls, remove all loose paint. Note that some cutting and drilling will be necessary during the installation process.

is

4. Make sure to turn off the water supply, remove faucet, handles or any fixture trims protruding from the wall. Remove any soap film and dirt from all wall surfaces using regular household detergent, then wipe dry.

5. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please install all of the required plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.

6. Side walls must be trimmed to size in most cases (straight edge and a razor knife or other tool suitable for trimming acrylic). Use a straight edge and score the acrylic wall several times to cut to size.

7. Use an adhesive that is safe to use with acrylic walls: i.e. LN715, LN915 etc. Use caulk to seal around the bottom/ top edges, top corners and around any fixture cutouts.

8. Designed to be installed over drywall or tile—not intended for installation against bare

studs.

9. Making cutouts for shower fixtures will not void the warranty. However making cutouts for window openings will void the warranty.

10. Professional installation recommended.

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long-lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off

after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

GLASS: To ensure long-lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use

with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long-lasting finish, wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.

NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass and all hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage. Contact DreamLine

Install all of the required plumbing and drainage before securing the shower. Have a competent

3.

and licensed (if required by local code) plumber or tradesman perform and/or approve your plumbing installation.

Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and

4.

will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please, note that some adjustments and drilling may be necessary during the installation process.

5.

Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until necessary to remove them. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.

6.

This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.

Shower Door Installation

1.

Measure the distance between the two finished walls at the top, middle and bottom. This distance is marked as

“W”.

Also check the threshold for level and the walls for plumb.

See Fig. 1 for details.

W

2.

Your Guide rails (#03) have been precut for the model width

of: 60”. (the rails are shorter than the model width by design).

If W is less than 60" (W<60”), then you will need to cut the Guide rails

(#03) equally from both ends.

Model Width-Finished opening W = L

The length to cut off will be "L".

In order to keep the pre-drilled center stopper holes centered, it is necessary to cut the top and bottom guide rails equally from both ends. Take L and

divide by 2 and cut off equally from each end.

Example:

60"(m 2" divide by 2 = 1" (cut from each end)

need to reinstall the roller stoppers on each Guide rail

(#03) on both ends. It is important that these stoppers are installed at the correct location.

Remove the existing stopper. Mark the drilling hole at a distance of 2” from the cut off end of the Guide rail

(#03). Drill a new hole using an Ø 1/8” drill bit; then re-attach the stopper with the screw.

ATTENTION: Do not drill all the way through the Guide rail, only drill into the first layer.

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure a long life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off

after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent soap buildup and water spots. To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners and cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent finish peeling or corrosion. After cleaning the shiny finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish, work with (not across) the grain. Never use abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or

wired brushes.

Installation Steps

1. Measure the distance between the two finished

walls at the top (at model height: 58” or 72”), middle and bottom. The wall profiles will adjust for out-of-plumb conditions, so use the smallest

measurement as the “finished opening” (W)

dimension to determine the finished cut length in Step #2. (Fig 1)

Top

NOTE: The Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03) are shorter than the model size by design. They have been pre-cut for the model width and are made to fit between the wall profiles, (not wall-to-wall). See Table A below:

Table A

Model Size

Pre-cut

Guide Rail Length

2. Subtract 3-3/8” from your finished opening (W) to

determine the finished cut length for the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03). Cut the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03) equally from both ends to the finished cut length (D). (See Table B below.) NOTE: In order to keep the pre-installed center stoppers centered, it is necessary to cut the Top and Bottom Guide Rails (#03) equally from both ends. (Fig 2)

GLASS: To ensure long-lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use

with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long-lasting finish, wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.
