DreamLine Flex 28 - 32 inch W x 72 inch H Semi-Frameless Pivot Shower Door in Chrome

We were off to a rough start when the package was left on my sidewalk, with holes in the box and most of the tape flapping in the breeze - this is on Amazon. Luckily nothing was broken but the glass door had slipped out of the frame from the mishandling of the box. I reached out to Dreamline and they were helpful in sending me additional information as to how to get the door back into the frame. After reading the instructions several times I felt confident in the steps and started the process. Overall the telescoping system to adjust to varying width openings is great and there is no cutting of aluminum framing which is wonderful. This is a two-person install process at times. Getting the vertical wall rails leveled and holes marked for drilling is a crucial part to get accurate. If you're drilling into tile, make sure you go very slowly at first so as not to have the drill bit slip and then have holes where they're not supposed to be! Once the vertical wall rails are secured with screws and silicone then, with the help of your assistant placing the framed door into the rails is fairly easy and then you have the sliding adjustments to make, and then securing your properly aligned door as instructed. One of my walls was severely out-of-plumb which left a fairly large gab, but caulking filled it in. I think the quality of this product and the engineering, for the price, is very good. I would have to pay $900 -$1000 to have something like this made and installed by a professional.

I am a remodeling pro. I do not usually do shower enclosure replacements, I sub them to a specialty company which is usually quite expensive and also usually the only real option for even remotely custom enclosures. I won a job with a straightforward shower door and a constrained budget. This door fit the bill perfectly. In my experience the tough part is getting the purchased product to fit the existing opening. This door was so nice on how it expanded and contracted to fit a large range of opening sizes. Installation was straightforward. The door is heavy - recommend two people carry it to install location and be available to help set the door during install (although I did the installation myself, I would have preferred a second set of strong hands). The installed product closes tightly and appears durable to withstand years of use. The only thing I found questionable was the factory drilled installation holes on the exterior of the frame. There’s no reason that wouldn’t work, except my stall wasn’t tall enough to accommodate all the predrilled locations. I wound up drilling my own installation holes on the interior of the channel where the installation fasteners are hidden after installation. I used toggle bolts for my install. I was pleasantly surprised to use all the small, supplied installation fasteners to secure the expanding rail in its final position, instead of purchasing additional stainless fasteners - nice detail coverage. If you have a straight opening, this door is a great, affordable option.

I installed about 3 months ago. This shower door is very aesthetically pleasing and good overall quality. I will add that I am very handy, so I may have found this easier than most. The ONLY reason I give this 4 and not 5 stars is a few minor issues I found... 1) The instructions simply do not allow for out-of-plumb walls or floor. Obviously there is always going to be some minor settling in any house that results in a slightly uneven or out-of-square frame. In my instance, the width at the bottom and top of the shower door area were off by about 3/4 of an inch. It took me an hour or so of minor adjusting during the final stage of installation to actually get this door to close properly and overcome the slight unevenness of my shower. 2) The instructions do not address some areas of the frame that NEED to be caulked. For example, the bottom frame is two pieces - depending on the size of your installation this joint will fall within the middle area of your shower curb, where water will inevitably fall into. I read on the manufacturers FAQ their answer to this: "any water in these areas will simply evaporate"... this is NOT the case, water did in fact leak out of the shower door in small amounts until I added caulk around all of these seams. It's not as intuitive because the seam is very small, you wouldn't think water would be able to escape; but it did... every time. 3) The glass is excellent quality, very durable; but the frame feels like cheap extruded aluminum. They could've made it a bit thicker to avoid buckling in some areas, again, probably due to my 1st point of addressing an out-of-plumb installation. Other than that, this is an excellent door, and I still admire the upgrade every time I am in the bathroom. You simply can't get this type of door for this price at the big box stores.

I was very hesitant to purchase this item. I've been constructing a custom shower and just fear made me hesitant. Well it arrived very beat up and the UPS driver asked me if I wanted to send it back. Based on a review I had read before, it is very well packaged and none of the glass was broken. Besides, I had 3 days to return it. The inner rail was slightly bent but no big deal because it was going inside the wall rails. All good. The ease of installation is awesome. I had never installed a shower door before. The instructions are on point with what needs to be done. What really sold me was not having to cut anything. I did have to ask my roomie to hold the door while I secured it but other than that, it was a one man show. I highly recommend this door. It's classy, sheik and sophisticated.
