Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Space

Ensure your shower stall is clean and free from debris. Remove any existing shower curtains or doors.

Step 2: Measure and Mark

Measure the width of the shower opening to ensure it matches the dimensions supported by the BLUE-SKY 3-panel sliding door. Use a level and masking tape to mark the location where the frame will be installed.

Step 3: Install the Bottom Track

Position the bottom track on the shower sill. Use a drill to secure it in place according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the track is level for smooth door operation.

Step 4: Attach the Side Tracks

Align the side tracks vertically with the bottom track. Secure them to the shower walls using the screws included in your BLUE-SKY shower door kit. Double check their alignment with a level before final tightening.

Step 5: Install the Sliding Panels

Carefully lift the first glass panel and slide it into the bottom and top tracks. Repeat this process for the remaining panels. Ensure each panel slides smoothly and is securely positioned within the tracks.

Step 6: Secure the Top Track

Place the top track on top of the panels and secure it to the side tracks. This gives the shower door additional stability and holds the panels in place.

Step 7: Apply Silicone Sealant

To prevent water leaks, apply silicone sealant along the edges where the tracks meet the shower walls. The sealant should also be applied along the bottom track where it meets the shower floor.

Step 8: Test the Doors

Check that each panel slides smoothly along the tracks. Adjust any misaligned panels or tracks as necessary for optimal performance.
