How To Install Sliding Shower Doors On Tile

Installing sliding shower doors on tile is a great way to update your bathroom and make it more modern and stylish. However, it can be a daunting task if you've never done it before. That's why we've put together this guide to help you through the process step-by-step.

Step 1: Gather your materials

Before you begin, you'll need to gather all of the materials you'll need. This includes:

Sliding shower doors
Measuring tape
Level
Drill
Screws
Caulk
Caulk gun

Step 2: Measure and mark the location of the doors

Once you have all of your materials, you can begin by measuring and marking the location of the doors. To do this, first measure the width of the shower opening. Then, divide this measurement by two to find the center point. Mark this point on the tile.

Next, measure the height of the shower opening. Then, subtract 1 inch from this measurement to find the height of the doors. Mark this height on the tile at the center point.

Step 3: Drill pilot holes

Once you have marked the location of the doors, you can begin drilling pilot holes. To do this, use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws you'll be using. Drill pilot holes at the top and bottom of each door frame.

Step 4: Install the doors

Once you have drilled the pilot holes, you can install the doors. To do this, first insert the screws into the pilot holes at the top of the door frame. Then, lift the door into place and insert the screws into the pilot holes at the bottom of the door frame. Tighten the screws until the doors are secure.

Step 5: Caulk the doors

Once the doors are installed, you can caulk them to prevent water from leaking out. To do this, apply a bead of caulk around the edges of the doors, where they meet the tile. Use a caulk gun to apply the caulk evenly.

Once you have applied the caulk, smooth it out with your finger or a caulk tool. Allow the caulk to dry completely before using the shower.

Step 6: Enjoy your new shower!

Once the caulk has dried, you can enjoy your new shower! Sliding shower doors are a great way to update your bathroom and make it more modern and stylish. They're also easy to clean and maintain, so you can enjoy them for years to come.
