Installing a new shower door can transform your bathroom, giving it a sleek and modern look. However, to ensure a perfect fit, accurate measurements are essential. Follow this MCOCOD Shower Door Measurement Guide to get precise measurements and achieve a seamless installation.
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before you start, make sure you have the following tools:
- Tape measure
- Level
- Pencil or marker
- Notepad or measuring sheet
Step 2: Measure the Width
1. Measure at the Bottom:
- Place the tape measure at the bottom of the shower opening.
- Measure from one side of the wall to the other.
- Write down the measurement.
2. Measure at the Top:
- Repeat the process at the top of the shower opening.
- Write down the measurement.
3. Measure in the Middle:
- Measure the width in the middle of the opening.
- Write down the measurement.
Note: If the measurements are different, use the largest width for a bypass door or the smallest width for a pivot door.
Step 3: Measure the Height
1. Measure from the Base:
- Place the tape measure at the base of the shower opening.
- Measure up to the desired height of the shower door.
- Standard height is typically around 60 inches, but it can vary based on your preference and the shower door model.
2. Measure Along the Wall:
- Measure along both sides of the wall to ensure they are even.
- Write down the measurements.
Step 4: Check for Level and Plumb
1. Check the Level of the Base:
- Place the level on the base of the shower opening.
- Ensure it’s level. If not, note the difference.
2. Check the Walls for Plumb:
- Place the level vertically along the walls.
- Ensure the walls are plumb (straight). If not, note any deviations.
Step 5: Record and Double-Check Measurements
- Double-check all your measurements to ensure accuracy.
- Record the measurements clearly on your notepad or measuring sheet.
Step 6: Consider the Door Type
Different types of shower doors require different measurements:
1. Sliding Doors:
- Ensure you have enough space for the door to slide open and closed.
- Take note of any obstructions.
2. Pivot Doors:
- Ensure there is enough clearance for the door to swing open.
3. Frameless Doors:
- Frameless doors need precise measurements as there is little room for error.
Additional Tips:
- Measure Twice, Cut Once: Double-checking your measurements can prevent costly mistakes.
- Consider the Threshold: If your shower has a threshold, ensure it’s included in the height measurement.
