• Frameless glass door can open on either side

How do you install a neo-angle shower kit?

Installation of a neo-angle shower kit is fairly straight forward. While it is certainly possible for homeowners to DIY a shower kit, in many cases it is best to have a professional complete the installation. This is an investment in your home that you want to last for many years and improper installation can lead to costly damage.

It is very important that before purchasing a neo-angle shower that you take exact measurements. Being “off” just a fraction can cause problems with the installation.

Often, a home’s walls and floor will not be perfectly level. You must make adjustments to ensure the shower itself will be level so the door opens and closes with precision. Otherwise you may risk damage or leaks.

Attaching connectors, door handles, towel bars and other hardware is not difficult. An experienced technician will be sure not to overtighten that could crack the glass or allow lose fit where a piece may fall off. There are not a lot of connectors on a frameless glass shower enclosure so they must be attached correctly.
