Home Solution: A Shower Door That Eliminates Guesswork (NAPSA)—Homeownerstoday have little time to tackle household projects or may avoid them altogether because they appear intimidating. Installing a shower door can be just that—a cumbersome and frustrating process, sometimes taking three to four hours and requiring an assort- ment of tools. Making a mistake in measuring, cutting or drilling is costly and could mean several trips to the hardwarestore. Now one companyhas developed a solution: a shower door that eliminates guesswork, reduces installation time to under 15 minutes, and requires just one tool—an Allen wrench—that is already included in the kit. The Finesse” Quick Install” shower door from Sterling features an adjustable frame that accommodates a wide rangeof openings, so there is no cutting. Its patented design requires none of the measuring and drilling tools associated with regular door installations. In just four trouble-free steps, homeownerscan easily install the Sterling Quick Install shower door: 1. Secure the side jambs by placing the bottom track on the tub ledge between the jambs and tightening the expansion mechanism with the Allen wrench; 2. Place the top track on the wall jambs, tighten the compres- sion-fit mechanism with the Allen wrench at one end and slide the headercap overit; 3. Hang the inside and outside frameless door panels on the header track with the pre-installed rollers and place the center guide on the bottom track to cover the compression-fit mechanism; 4. Install the towel bars, adjust the rollers to even the door, and place a bead of silicone caulk around the doorframe. A new shower door can be installed in 15 minutes with just onetool. With pre-assembly occurring at the factory to minimize the number of loose parts, tedious assembly is no longer an issue. Another great convenience of the Sterling Finesse Quick Install shower door is the bottom of the side jambs that features a curved corner on one side and straight surface on the other side. Homeowners don’t need to file their shower door’s jambs to accommodate the curved surface found on many one-piece shower enclosures. If they have a 90degreetile-to-tub sill opening, they can simply turn and invert the jamb aroundto thestraightside. The shower doors have been designed to ensure that the compression-fit mechanism is durable and provides a leak-proof seal. Constructed of tempered glass with round corners, the panels are safe and easy to clean, with the metal extrusionsfinished in Silver or Pol- ished Brass. The shower door carries a five-year limited warranty and is available at The Home Depot and through Sterling’s authorized wholesale network.
