How to Install a New Shower Door

Medium
Not too long ago we finished tiling our bathroom shower. After all the hard work I knew we needed to choose a shower door that would compliment the space and not hide the beautiful tile.
In the mean time...we put up a $5 shower curtain to make the space functional. It was functional, but not very pretty.


But the transformation it took after a little work was stunning!!
After finding and purchasing a glass shower door that fit into our newly tiled shower, we decided to install it ourselves! It took two of us to carefully bring the shower doors upstairs and install them ourselves.


The shower door we chose has one stationary piece of glass and one sliding door. The first thing we did was to measure the exact width of our shower opening and trim the support bar to fit.


Then we attached the support bar to the stationary piece of glass and marked the locations where the support bar mounts would go. It was important to make sure the glass was parallel with the vertical grout lines in the shower tile too. Then we drilled holes for the mounts and secured them in place.
After that we followed manufacturer instructions to install the stationary piece of glass by securing the support bar and glass to the mounts.


Then we assembled and hung the sliding door in place and added all the finishing touches like the water strip and the handle.
Isn't the transformation stunning!?!? We love how the tiled shower and the shower door look and are excited to finish up our master bathroom remodel!
