installation
4. Make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and 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 might be necessary during the installation process.
5. 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.
7. This model can be adjusted up to 3/8” on the panel side only for out-of-plumb conditions within the
u-channel. Verify that the walls are plumb before proceeding with the installation.

NOTE that this model will provide up
to 3/8” of adjustment for out-of-plumb
conditions within the U-Channel on the
stationary panel side only. (Fig 1)
This model requires a minimum
threshold width of 1-1/2”

2. Subtract 1/16” from the “W” dimension.
(W (-) 1/16” = L) “L” = finished cut length.
Use a miter saw or hack saw to cut your Bottom Guide Rail (#03) to the finished cut length “L”. Use a
metal file to file off any burrs from the cut end of the
Bottom Rail. (Fig 2)
NOTE: Only cut from the end of the
bottom rail that will be installed on the

door side of the opening.
NOTE:The Bottom Guide Rail (#03) is made 2” larger
than the model size:
(48” model = 50” bottom rail, 60” model = 62” bottom rail).
The rail is milled at both ends to accomodate the bottom
bumper for the panel side. This milling will be cut off on the
door-end when the bottom rail is cut to size to fit the
finished opening.

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
