Installation steps 1. Measure the distance of the back wall of W the tub from corner to corner. Record this measurement as “W”. (Fig 1) W W Fig 1 2. Divide the “W” measurement in half (W/2). W/2 Draw a plumb line to mark the center of the back wall (Fig 2) ©2017 DreamLine.
3. Measure the side walls from the corner to the front point where the Side Panel (#01) will be trimmed to size. Record this measurement as “D”. (Fig 3) D D Fig 3 Draw plumb Vertical Reference lines 1” from the corners 4a. Measure 1” from the corners and draw plumb, ©2017 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved vertical reference lines on the walls at both corners.
4b. Measure the location of the holes on the wall S = (D-1”) where the fixtures will be installed. Use these measurements to drill the cutouts in the corresponding Side Panel (#01) in Step #17. 1" A back Take exact measurements: corner of walls • from the vertical reference line to the center of the fixture holes: (A, B, C, G) • from the tub deck up to the center of the fixture holes: (E, F, H).
5. Place the Center Cover (#05) vertically on the back wall centerline (from Step#2) and mark the drilling holes through the predrilled holes in the Center Cover (#05). Drill the holes using a Ø5/16” drill bit and insert the Wall Anchors (#06). (Fig 5a and Fig 5b) 1 2 3 4 Ø5/16” Fig 5a Fig 5b 6. Place the Corner Cover (#04) to the corner of the wall and mark the drilling holes through the 1 2 3 4 ©2017 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved predrilled holes in the Corner Cover (#04).
1” reference line 7. Determine the finished cut size for both Back Panels (#02). centerline (If the finished overall width of the back wall= 59-1/2” from corner-to-corner, then it will not be necessary to trim the back panels. Proceed to Step #9). L NOTE: (a) = Narrow edge (3-3/8”) toward the center line on the back wall. (do not trim this edge) (b) = Wider edge (4-5/8”) toward the corner of the back wall.
8. Place the Back Panel (#02) onto a flat piece of plywood or particle board. Use a T-square and a sharp industrial knife to score along the cut lines (from the previous step) on the Back Panel (#02) and continue scoring until fully cut through the panel. (Fig 8a and Fig 8b) 2 1 L L a Fig 8a Fig 8b 9. Install the Center Cover (#05) to the center of the back wall using the Countersunk Screws ST4.2×30 (#07). Do not fully tighten the screws yet. Leave the Center Cover (#05) loose on the wall for now.
11. Slide the right edge of the left Back Panel (#02) behind the Center Cover (#05) and push the Back Panel (#02) flat against the wall up to the 1” vertical reference line in the corner. Adjust the position of the Back Panel (#02) before the adhesive sets. Apply equal pressure to the whole surface of the Back Panel (#02) from top to bottom. Fasten the Corner Cover (#04) to the left corner of the backwall using the Countersunk Screws ST4.2×30 (#07). Do not fully tighten the corner cover screws yet.

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 Fig. 1 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.
Fig. 3 3. Once the Guide rails (#03) have been cut, you will 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.
4. Fasten the bottom Guide rail (#03) to the Glass profiles (#01) with the Round head screws ST4.2x25 (#11). See Fig. 5 for details. TIP: For ease of assembly, add some liquid soap or wax to lubricate the screws prior to attaching the glass profiles to the guide rails. Also, use a low setting on your power drill to prevent stripping the screws during assembly. Fig. 5 5.
6. Install the Single side strips (#09) in-between the Stationary glass (#05) and the Glass profiles (#01). The strips should be inserted on the side that is facing the inside of the shower. (See detail in Fig. 7) ATTENTION: Do not use a screwdriver or other metal objects to install the Single Side Strip; you can scratch or damage the glass and aluminum. inside 7.
9. Move the finished frame to the designated position on the shower base, the bathtub or the threshold (depending on your installation); push it against the walls. If your top and bottom wall opening measurements vary or if the walls are out-of-plumb, make adjustments by sliding the Wall profiles (#02) out of the Glass Profiles (#01). Use a level to adjust the frame so that it is plumb. See Fig. 9 for details. Fig. 9 10.
12. Fasten the top and the bottom Wheel assemblies (#17) to the Glass doors (#04). The top wheels can adjust the door level with the adjustable bolt and lock nut. The bottom wheel has a press button to fix the wheel on to the bottom Guide rail (#03). Note: The lock nut of the upper wheel and the press button of the bottom wheel should be pointing up. (Fig 11.1 and 11.2) 1 4 2 5 3 6 See Fig. 11 for details. Fig. 11 13. Slide the top door wheels into the top Guide rail (#03).
14. Install the Handles (#06) to the Glass doors (#04).(Fig 13.1) Press the anti-water strips (#08) o n t o t h e v e r t i c a l e d g e s o f t h e Stationary glass (#05) and both vertical edges of the Glass doors (#04). Press the Magnetic strips (#07) onto the vertical edges of both Glass doors (#04) for a tight seal. See Fig. 13 for details. 1 2 3 Fig. 13 15. Do the final adjustments of the assembled unit in the Wall profiles (#02). Make sure that the bottom rail is tight to the the threshold.
16. Apply a good quality mildew resistant silicone along the profiles and guide rails; on the seams between the bottom guide rail and the profiles as well as along the shower base or threshold. See Fig. 15 for details. Caulk Fig. 15 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.
