Delta Shower Doors SD3172712 Trinsic Semi-Frameless Contemporary Sliding Door 60in.x71in, Nickel Track

They're a <bleep> to install in ceramic tile. I'm an avid DIY-er, having gutted and remodeled several rooms on my own, including a kitchen, multiple bathrooms and I've even converted a spare room into a fully custom bar in our house. (I'm not bragging, I'm just trying to give a sense of my skill level... Basic construction, plumbing, electrical, etc.) This door kit took me the better part of a day to install because they're best-suited for a fiberglass shower surround...- All of the mounting is reliant on hard plastic anchors. Drilling through ceramic tile is no picnic, and if you fully follow the instructions, you have to drill 12 holes. I have the right tools, but it still takes a good amount of effort.- The instructions aren't great. They tell you to drill the holes for ceramic tile at a certain size, and the <bleep>ing anchors are too big to fit that measurement! Reading a further step, the instructions say "If using ceramic tile, use ceramic tile anchors (sold separately)." Sold flippin' separately?!- Custom shower stalls (like tiled ones) aren't typically plumb. They're just tile on a wall, and you're dealing with the imperfections of the wooden framing and drywall. Fiberglass shower surrounds are manufactured and typically pretty true to plumb. Our shower stall walls are good, but not perfect. (There's an ever-so-slight bow -- \ /.) This affects how the doors hang. Yes, you can adjust the wheel height to compensate, but you can never get it just right to create a good seal to keep water completely in the shower. This is exacerbated by my last point...- The exterior vertical barrier on the bottom track is just WAY too damn short. I think they did this to make it seem minimalistic and more attractive, but as a result, water gets out... They tried a "quick fix" by adding a self-adhesive deflector strip that tacks on to the bottom of the inside door, but it just doesn't work well enough. Water pools in the center of the track, between the doors and eventually trickles out over the short vertical barrier and onto the bathroom floor.Like I said, the doors are adjustable for height, so I think I'll try lowering them a bit more--the default height after install leaves about a 1/4" to 3/8" beneath them. But, adjusting them for height will tweak the off-kilter angle I have to have them on now to account for the uneven walls. (The doors probably won't shut flush with the walls after I adjust them.)After all is said and done, they are really attractive doors. I just think they're best-suited for a fiberglass shower surround.

These doors look nice. That's where good news ends. Functionally the product is a failure because of a design flaw which leaves a full inch of clearance between the lower edge of the inner glass and the bottom piece of the shower frame. Expect lots of water splashing out every time you take shower. The issue can probably be somewhat mitigated by cutting one inch off the jambs. But by the time you realize what's going on, it's too late: you already have lots of holes drilled in you shower.Delta is aware of the issue and provides a water diverter to be installed at the bottom of the inner door. This is not a real solution though as the door should be a full inch closer to the floor to truly address the issue.Amazon customer service was great helping to address the issue -- kudos to them! But Delta gets an F for this product.

Installation required two people and great care and attention to the instructions but all necessary parts were included except for some silicone caulk. It took me and my wife, both with considerable DIY experience, about three hours to install. Once installed, we immediately noticed the splash-by at the bottom of the inner door. Water from the shower either cascades down the inside of the door or splashes on the lower track and splashes under the bottom of the door, wetting the floor outside the shower. I installed the L-shaped diverter that is intended to fix this problem and it did help a bit but didn't stop the splashing. We lay a towel on the floor next to the shower to catch the splashes, something we should not have to do. The adhesive on the back of the diverter also failed in a few days in spite of having attached it according to instructions to a carefully cleaned door. The second problem manifested about two months later as the nylon rollers for the inner door cracked, one coming off completely. That allowed the metal portion of the roller to ride along the track, scraping the finish off. I contacted Delta about the problems but ws referred to a third party which promptly sent replacement rollers, top bar and plastic diverter. I really like the look of this door but should have paid more attention to other reviews remarking about the leak issue.

This set up looks nice and was pretty easy to install, I'm a general contractor and was doing a bathroom remodel, these homeowners purchased these doors to save money by not having a company come in and do a frame less sliding door (using a company is what I recommend ) anyway water splashes up under the glass doors and on the side's where they (don't) meet the wall, I did all the adjustments to get the doors lower to the bottom track but didn't help, water still splashed out, this would be a much better design if they would add more plastic diverter strips. this is a decent product with a poor design.

I have to hand to these guys I purchased this and when I got it oh crap this I cant do and just reviewed the directions for days called around for installers hmm 400 -500 so I gave it a shot. Let me say Delta made a product almost idiot proof and looks great don't be afraid to install this yourself there some youtube stuff as well
