This document describes the Allen + Roth Shower Door, a frameless sliding shower door designed for alcove installations. It is available in two finishes: Satin Nickel (Model # 5489076, Item # 89076-GP-SN) and Matte Black (Model # 5489078, Item # 89078-GP-MB).

Function Description

The Allen + Roth Shower Door provides a modern and elegant enclosure for a shower space. It features a single sliding door that glides smoothly on a track, allowing for easy entry and exit. The frameless design contributes to a minimalist aesthetic, enhancing the visual appeal of the bathroom. The door is designed for installation in an alcove, meaning it fits between three existing walls. It can be configured for either a right or left-hand opening, offering flexibility to suit various bathroom layouts. The clear glass panels maximize light and create an open feel within the shower area.

Important Technical Specifications

The shower door has the following key dimensions and specifications:

Overall Height (A): 78 3/4" [2000 mm]
Shower Width (B): 57 1/4" [1455 mm] – 60 1/16" [1525 mm]. This indicates an adjustable width range for fitting different alcove sizes.
Fixed Panel Width (C): 30 7/16" [773 mm]
Door Panel Width (D): 32 3/4" [832 mm]
Door Opening (E): 23 1/4" [590 mm]
Distance between handle holes (F): 16 13/16" [427 mm]
Glass Thickness: The manual emphasizes the importance of verifying the thickness of the finished surface (D) between the min and max permissible dimensions according to the table below, suggesting a robust glass construction.
Support Bar: A support bar is included, which may require cutting to length depending on the shower width. The calculation for the support bar length (L) is L = D - 7/8" (L = D - 2.2 cm), where D is the distance from the finished surface to the outer edge of the support bar.
Wall Studs: Installation requires securing the wall track to wall studs. If studs are not present, wall anchors must be used. For composite shower walls, additional wall anchors are recommended.
Plumb Walls: Walls must be plumb and square within 3/8" (10 mm) for proper installation. The base of the shower must also be level.

The package content includes various components such as:

Sliding door guide (A)
Wall track (B)
Fixed panel (C)
Support bar anchors (D)
Shower door stoppers (E)
Support bar (F)
Fixed panel bracket (G)
Door rollers (H)
Door panel vertical seal strip (I)
Door panel (J)
Decorative cap (K)
Decorative rail (L)
Door handle (M)
Fixed panel bottom seal strip (N)
Door bottom seal strip (O)
Glass panel vertical seal strip (P)

Hardware includes wall anchors, screws of various sizes, fittings, caps, and an Allen key.

Usage Features

The shower door is designed for ease of use and installation, though it requires at least two people for assembly.

Reversible Installation: The door can be installed for either a right-hand or left-hand opening, allowing users to choose the configuration that best suits their bathroom layout. This is achieved by simply flipping the panels and tracks.
Smooth Sliding Operation: The design incorporates rollers and a sliding track to ensure the door glides smoothly and quietly.
Water Sealing: Various seal strips (vertical and bottom) are included to prevent water leakage, ensuring a dry bathroom floor. Silicone sealant is also required during installation to further enhance waterproofing around all components.
Adjustable Components: The fixed panel bracket and support bar allow for some adjustment during installation to accommodate minor variations in wall plumbness and shower pan dimensions. The door rollers are also adjustable to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation.
Handle: A robust handle (M) is provided for easy opening and closing of the sliding door.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and appearance of the shower door.

Regular Cleaning: For daily maintenance, a soft cloth and a mild liquid cleaner are recommended. Abrasive cleaners, strong chemicals, scrubbers, metallic brushes, or other objects that can scratch or tarnish surfaces should be avoided.
Hardware Tightening: Users should periodically check and tighten all bolts and screws, specifically those supporting the fixed glass panels or door panel. A ratchet with a 5mm bit socket is recommended for this task. Bolts should be checked every 4 months and re-tightened if necessary.
Silicone Sealant Maintenance: The manual emphasizes applying a clear silicone water sealant around the outside perimeter of any fixed shower components. It is crucial to allow 24 hours for the silicone to dry. Improper application or insufficient drying time can lead to leaks.
Inspection for Damage: Regularly inspect the glass panels for any chips, cracks, or damage. Tempered glass, if damaged, can shatter into small pieces. Also, check all components for wear and tear, and replace any damaged parts promptly.
Professional Assistance: If any significant issues or damage occur, or if the user is unsure about any maintenance task, consulting a professional or contacting customer service is advised.

The manual also includes a comprehensive warranty, covering defects in material and workmanship for a specified period, typically one year for hardware and components, and five years for the glass. It explicitly states that the warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, lack of maintenance, or misuse.
