Decide what kind of shower door you want. Telecharger Games Ps2 Iso Torrent. There are two common styles of shower doors: sliding doors and pivoting doors. Although they work differently, the installation process is nearly identical for both, so your decision should be based on personal preference.

• It is highly recommended that you choose a shower door with a frame. Some shower doors are frameless for a more elegant look, but are much more complicated to install. • Some people prefer to use a sliding door for wide openings and a swinging door for small openings, since swinging doors tend to be a little narrower and can accommodate smaller spaces. Measure the space where you're installing the door. Using your tape measure, measure horizontally and vertically between the surfaces where the door hardware will be mounted, across the tub or the opening for the shower, and up the wall. Record these numbers to take to the store and shop around for a kit that's big enough to fill the space you need to fill. • For the most part, the metal tracks of shower doors will be slightly longer than the space you need to fill.

They're made this way, to allow the same kit to be used for multiple projects. By cutting the tracks to size, you should be able to make most commercial kits work fine for the job. Assemble the necessary parts and tools. Shower door kits will come with a set of metal tracks that seat the shower door, so most of the assembly process involves installing the metal frame. This will be secured by a metal threshold that fits onto the front lip of the tub, two side columns that will be secured into the tile walls, and a single cross-member to connect the columns on top. Most shower kits should be universal, but hold the pieces up to the shower before you start installing them to make sure they fit.

If the pieces are too long, you might need to trim them to size with a hacksaw. You'll also need some basic tools to complete the job: • Silicone-based caulk and a caulking gun • Tape measure • A power drill • 3/16 and 7/32 drill bits (add a 3/16 masonry bit if drilling into tile) • Tile screws • Plastic wall anchors • Hammer • Masking tape • Permanent marker • A level. Measure and mark out where the track will go. You'll install the threshold first and the side columns next, so it's a good idea to measure everything out first before you start slapping it on the tub. This will ensure that your shower door will be even and level. Use your level to make sure the mark is true. • Mark where you'd like the threshold track of the shower door to go.

Measure the width of the front lip of the tub to find the center point. You want to install the threshold of the shower in the center, so it will be even on the wall and secure. Mark the center point at each end of the tub lip and once in the center with a marker to give yourself a good indicator during installation. • Hold each side column on the tile wall, even with the marks you've made on the lip of the tub.

Use your marker to make a little dot where the screws will go later, when you're installing the columns. Place the threshold carefully firmly onto the tub.

Line the metal threshold up with the marks in the center point of the tub's lip and press it down to secure it, smoothing out the caulk underneath. Make sure the rail is secure and lined up perfectly with your marks in the center line. If it's off and it dries, the wall columns will be out of alignment and the shower door won't close properly, so this is critical. • It's a good idea to use a little bit of masking tape to keep the threshold secured to the tub while it dries. It shouldn't take long, five minutes at the most, but while you're working it's a good idea to make sure it can't be jostled and misaligned. • After the threshold dries, hold your side columns back up to the wall to make sure everything lines up evenly before you move on.

You may have to remark the holes that you're going to drill if you made a mistake in securing the threshold. Check again with the level to make sure everything is true. Pre-drill the holes you marked with tile drill bits. Fit a small-gauge drill bit designed for cutting through ceramic tile into your power drill and drill into your pre-marked holes about two inches deep.

Ceramic tile drill bits have a sharp point with a wide, flat-faced beveled edge that cuts through tile very efficiently. • Some people like to put a little piece of masking tape over the mark on the tile for the drill bit to grip onto while you're drilling.

Because most bathroom tile is so smooth, it's easy to slip while you're trying to push the drill bit in, which can be dangerous. It also decreases the chance that the tile will crack or flake while you're drilling.
