Before You Start
If your shower head is on the
le, the Slider Panel should be
installed on the le side.
If your shower head is on the
right, the Slider Panel should
be installed on the right side.
•Confirm that you have the correct model size.
See table below to insure that the model you
received will fit your shower opening.
•Choose which side of your shower to install the
Slider Panel (Sliding Door): Future Glass highly
recommends installing the sliding shower door
on the same side as your shower head. This
will help to prevent water leaking from the gap
between the two glass panels.

Shower Fixed Panel skus:

Place Slider Panel inside shower.
Before starting the installation process, place the Slider
Panel inside the shower on cardboard to protect the
boom of door. Be sure to face handle holes toward wall
door closes to. This will make it easier for installation at
a later stage once the Fixed Panel and Shower Rod have
been set in place.
01 02
Mark the threshold and Fixed Panel wall.
Measure the width of threshold tile where shower door
is to be installed, this needs to be a minimum of 2 " to
install this model of shower enclosure. On the wall where
the Fixed Panel is to be placed, measure to the center of
the threshold tile and mark the wall with a pencil. Using
a level, draw a line up the wall at this point.
Tip: We recommend using a pencil
so this can be easily removed.
Center of
threshold
Important: If installing an enclosure with
fiberglass walls, a stud must be directly
behind where the panel will be installed.

Mark the hole to drill on Fixed Panel wall.
Along the drawn level line, mark 75" from threshold.
Mark the vertical line on Slider Panel wall.
On the opposite wall where the Slider Panel will close
towards, measure to the center of the threshold tile and
draw a vertical line using a level. This line will be a guide
to install the Shower Rod
75"
Center of
threshold

Important: If installing an enclosure with
fiberglass walls, a stud must be directly

Drill the hole for the first Shower Rod Bracket.
Using a ⁄" drill bit, drill a hole and install the Wall Anchor.
Trim excess from the Wall Anchor hanging out of hole
with utility knife so Bracket sits flush to wall.

not use the green Anchor but rather screw the Shower
Rod Bracket directly into the fiberglass shower wall.
06
Install first Shower Rod Bracket.
Place Shower Rod Bracket over hole and drill screws
into Wall Anchor to secure Bracket. Make sure the
two interior Bracket pieces are centered on each
other when installing on wall, this will allow adjustment
up or down at a later stage if required. Be sure it is
securely tightened.

either existing blocks to raise/drop
the fixed panel if required.
Important: Be sure that tempered safety
glass stamp on the Fixed Panel is
positioned in corner closest to the wall.
