I Would say these are a really nice set of shower doors. Honestly, almost equal to that of what you would get going the custom glass route but for about 1/3 of the price.
Glass- 3/8" thick and really nice quality. Super clear and doest rattle at all when in use like some cheaper options. only real down side is the brand name is etched into the glass and when you put the doors on one way it faces our and on the other it faces in and is backwards... so its a little tacky looking.
Hardware- super heavy duty and great quality. The rollers are silent and work smoothly and everything overall is really nice. The door handle itself is the cheapest part of the entire thing.... all the hardware and the main post is in this super heavy duty metal and the handle itself is cheap lightweight aluminum or something like that... its fine, it will work to open and close the door but its definelty a cheaper grade.
installation- this took me about 4 hours to do.. it was not easy so if you are going to install this yourself make sure you have the knowledge and tools to do so. you need to be incredibly careful with the glass and you need to assemble the stationary panel with the pole on it and dry fit the entire door. This is for sure a 2 person job and at points we needed 3 people bc you need to move around that glass and its very heavy. Everything did go together really easily and nicely but it is definitely not something I would undertake had I not known what I was doing.
The water stopper- you can see from the photo attached, this piece of metal is supposed to go across the bottom of the door where the movable door is - one end slides into a bracket, but there is no bracket for the other side! there is literally no way to keep it in place aside from their suggested caulking it in place. which I have done but I can tell you now, when it gets kicked as people are entering or leaving the shower (which it will) it wont take long before it breaks free from the thin bead of caulk holding it in place... I give it about 1 week before I'm either re-doing it or attempting to modify it. its honestly a terrible design flaw and I don't get why a simple bracket couldn't be included to anchor the other side down
All in all these are beautiful, great functioning doors that are welllll worth the price.... BrianD. . 2023-01-09 16:09:55
