Measure only after tile, the shower base, curb, and other permanent finishes are complete.
Record the top, middle, and bottom—never average them. Compare every required measurement with the exact model’s installation range and out-of-plumb allowance.
Note wall plumb, usable threshold width and slope, and backing at each mounting point.
Record the door swing, valve access, nearby fixtures, and a clear route for carrying the glass.
Quick reference only. Confirm the finished opening against the installation manual for the exact door before ordering.
