Never Ever Make These Mistakes
Installing a new shower door can be an affordable and quick way to improve your bathroom. Most homeowners will perform this project themselves, but there’s a chance that you could end up making some mistakes that can waste your time and money. Below are 3 of the shower door installation mistakes and how to fix them! Let a professional contractor do the job for you.
Installing an odd-shaped door
If you have a custom shower door, this isn’t an issue. However, if you’re installing a glass shower door, make sure it’s framed to fit the size of your door. For example, if your door opening is 60 inches wide, your custom shower door should be at least 70 inches wide. In this case, you can buy a door that will fit your opening and trim it to size. It’s best to measure your door opening before you buy a door. And measure the height and width of the door!
Installing a door that’s too heavy
Before you buy a door, make sure it can support the weight of the shower enclosure and the shower door! You may want to get a little creative by using a countertop, ladder, or step stool to hold the door while you install the screws. Once you’ve done that, finish the job by installing the shower door and the shower enclosure.
Installing a door that’s too short
If you have a small bathroom, consider installing a door with a track. However, if you don’t, that’s okay! You can trim the door so it will perfectly fit your bathroom. You can start by installing the trim around the door and securely screwing the door to the doorjamb. Then, install the shower door and screw it to the hinges. Once you’ve completed that, install the shower door hinges and fasten them to the door.
