Comprehensive Guide to Installing Shower Doors for Professionals

Installing a shower door can transform a bathroom significantly. For professionals, efficiency and cost control are paramount. In 2025, installation costs range from $900 to $2,500, influenced by design and materials. Platforms like CountBricks streamline processes with AI-driven tools offering precise measurements and real-time cost estimates to avoid overspending.

Initiating Your Project with Detailed Planning

Precision in Measurements

1. Measure the finished opening width at top, middle, and bottom; note the smallest measurement.

2. Measure the finished opening height on each side; note the shorter height.

Create a Dynamic Materials List

• Confirm measurements, then start a session on the CountBricks app.

• Specify glass type: framed, semi-frameless, or frameless.

• The app generates a SKU-specific list, including components and local supplier pricing.

Essential Tools and Materials

• Glass door kit suitable for your opening

• High-quality level

• Power drill with masonry and metal bits

• Screwdrivers

• Mold-resistant silicone sealant

• Protective shims

• Painter's tape

• Safety gear: glasses and gloves

Installation Process: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Fit the track or jambs first to ensure alignment with factory cuts.

2. Mark anchor positions on tiles with painter's tape.

3. Drill pilot holes; keep speed low and dampen for porcelain tiles to avoid cracking.

4. Install wall anchors or stainless screws as advised by CountBricks AI.

5. Ensure side jambs are level; fix them loosely for adjustments.

6. Apply silicone beneath the bottom track for waterproofing.

7. Hang manufacturer-aligned panels—stationary then door panel.

8. Adjust rollers/hinges for an even reveal.

9. Tighten fasteners as per digital specifications.

10. Seal only interior seams for proper water drainage.
