Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact width of my unit?

Your Symphony part number defines the width of your unit. For example a 57.75” x 76” unit is 57-3/4”

wide by 76” tall. Widths are shown in decimal equivalents where .25” = ¼” .50” = ½” and .75” = ¾”. The

size listed is the “nominal” size and it is adjustable by -1/8” and +3/8”. Symphony units are available in

¼” increments.

Can I measure my rough opening and adjust for the anticipated thickness of the tile, granite or other

wall covering?

Absolutely Not! Measurements must be based on the finished opening.

Can this unit be installed on a fiberglass or acrylic shower?

If the fiberglass or acrylic has a radius in the corners between the horizontal curb and the vertical walls

where the unit will attach – you will not be able to install this unit. Also, if the walls where the unit will

attach are not reinforced with structural material such as a wooden stud which the unit may be

attached to – you will not be able to install this unit.

What if my walls are not plumb?

You should check your walls for plumb using a level and a straight piece of wood equal to the height of

your unit (76” or 80”).

For the wall where your door will install:

If the wall leans in or out by no more than ¼” you will be able to compensate by varying the

overlap of the hinge to the door. If the wall leans in or out by more than ¼” you will not be able

to install these stock doors and you should check locally for a custom door.

For the wall where your panel will install:

If the wall leans out up to 3/8” you will be able to compensate by adjusting the width of the

caulk joint between the panel and the wall.

If the wall leans out more than 3/8” you will need to order the optional Caulk Adaptor. On the

Overstock.com site search for “Caulking Adaptor” and add the abbreviation for your finish. For

example “ Caulking Adaptor MB” for Matte Black; “Caulking Adaptor CH” for Chrome and

“Caulking Adaptor BN” for Brushed Nickel. Installation instructions are included with the

adaptor.

If the wall leans in up to 3/8” you will be able to compensate by adjusting the width of the caulk

joint between the panel and the wall. However since this wall condition reduces the space

available to install the unit, you should adjust your width. For example, if you measure 46-1/2”

at the curb and your wall leans in by 1/4”, you should order your unit based on a revised

measurement of 46-1/4”.

If the wall leans in more than 3/8” you will need to order the optional Caulk Adaptor as detailed

above. You will also need to adjust your width as described above. For example, if you measure

46-1/2” at the curb and your wall leans in by 3/4”, you should order your unit based on a revised measurement of 45-3/4”. How many people are required to install this enclosure? Due to the weight of the glass panels, you will need two people to install your unit.

Does the Caulking Adaptor come with the unit? No, the Caulk Adaptor must be ordered separately. Order: - Caulking Adaptor BN if your finish is Brushed Nickel - Caulking Adaptor MB if your finish is Matte Black - Caulking Adaptor CH if your finish is Chrome Will water leak thru the 1/8” gap between the door and the panel and the 5/16” gap between the hinges and the wall.
