A Perfect Fit Begins With Precise Measurements.

Follow the tips and instructions below to make measuring for your shower door a breeze. Use our measuring worksheet for accuracy to ensure a flawless fit.

Tools You’ll Need

• Measuring Tape
• Level
• ProHouz Measuring Worksheet

Finalize Wall Material Before You Measure

Before you begin, make sure your shower walls are in their final state—whether they’re finished with tile or a tub surround. This ensures accurate measurements for a perfect fit.

Measure Opening Widths in 3 Spots

Using your tape measure, measure lengthwise across the bottom, center, and top of your shower for an inline opening. For openings with a return, measure at the center of the curb (centerline). Be sure to account for the body of the measuring tape so that your measurements are completely accurate. Record your measurements in our Measuring Worksheet, which you can use when speaking with your local ProHouz Dealer about your shower door needs.

Check that Surfaces are Level & Plumb

Next, use a level to ensure your walls and surfaces are completely level. If any area is out of level by ⅜” or more, you may need a tapered filler when installing framed or semi-frameless doors. A custom-sized filler can be ordered to ensure a precise installation, no matter which door you choose.

Measure for Height

You’ll need two different measurements here:

1. Maximum Height Available: Measure from the top of the threshold or tub deck to the top of your tile or fiberglass walls. This will help your ProHouz dealer find the best standard height for your door.

2. Requested Height: If you have a specific height in mind, measure from the top of the threshold or tub deck to the desired height for your door.

If you’re considering a heavy glass door, be sure to review the structural considerations before installation.
