How to install a glass shower door in a fiberglass shower.

Installing a shower door over a fiberglass shower is the easiest type of shower door to install because there is no need for additional anchors or masonry bits like there is for concrete or tile installation.

You install the bottom track on the top edge of the shower base or tub.

With a fiberglass shower all you have to do is screw in the shower door and seal it in place. Acrylic shower walls that install by gluing panels to drywall are not an appropriate substrate on which to install any shower door. In our project we had to round off the edges of the aluminum molding so they would fit perfectly into the radius of our fiberglass shower. Make sure all necessary pieces are accounted for in your manufacturer s shower door kit.

The maximum width for a shower door is 36. Place the bottom track on the flattest part of the shower base or tub ledge following the manufacturer s instructions to determine which side of the track faces out. The installation process will vary depending on whether you re installing a swinging or sliding glass door but either way you ll need to start by assembling a frame for the door. Make sure that the space between the wall and the ends of the track is the same on both ends.

File it down with a metal file. For the frame you ll need to install tracks at the bottom sides and top of your shower opening using sealant and screws.
