Can the shower base be trimmed? Is it easy to trim it? For example, if I wanted to use the 48" x 48" base in a 48" x 36" shower space.

It can be trimmed very easily with a standard hand saw. Take the same dimension off both sides so the pitch remains the same to the drain location. It is a really good product. Be sure to use the integrated drain system. They have a very good instruction manual included in the kit.

It is very easy to trim. We put ours in a 33x42 space. Just make sure to line up the drain before trimming.

Yes you can. I've done it on several occasions. What you want to do is measure and cut a equal amount on both sides. This will ensure the drain is still in the center of the shower and the slope will still be equal. I hope this helps

I would think a skilled carpenter or tile guy would be able to trim the base with the proper tools.its a high density foam so a good saw and steady hand should do just fine. But on a side note I did not have to trim mine at all.
1366557
Sure. Just take equal amounts of each side so that your drain stays centered. I just run the foam base through the table saw to trim it.

Sure you could trim it, what I did is just tuck in the excess around the edges into the water and it works fine.

Wow, tough question. The ceiling is fairly low in my bathroom and the spring inside the unit is really strong, so I really had to put in some grunt work to get it into place and I was afraid it may pop a hole in the ceiling in the process. It's about 5'9" in my shower. You could probably compress it another 4-6 inches, but again, the spring is strong, so it may take some work, or the pressure from the spring may pop your shelf right off the wall if it isn't really secure. (A plus about the spring: the unit doesn't move once you get it in place!)

We used a regular shower curtin (household) and just cut it shorter it works great recommend it highly!

Yes, it can be cut to fit any length. It has removable caps that fit over the ends that adjust a little. I cut the one I ordered to fit my shower. This is a good quality rod and I am content with my purchase.

I trimmed mine to a 48" wide waterbed frame. It trims just fine. :-)There is a zipper around the bottom edge of the outer covering, so it's easy to put it back together again.

Ours is installed now and we cut it down to 36 X 48 but it was 48 X 48 to start with. The 2 big gray panels in the picture snap together to form the base. Not sure what the metric measurements are - maybe the box?

Hi Gary, Well I guess it is up to you on the dimensions, if you want to take out some of the ceiling to make it fit. I was replacing mine at the time. What I ran into was , my house is about 130 yrs. old and my bathroom was a porch at one time back in the history books. They were 6"depth, this was more, so I increased the depth by adding wood to the edge of the rafters so I could fasten this to the frame work. If you put one of these in make sure you add a line for the night light, its worth it. Hope this helps you Steve

The trim unit works on the tub only also. It's the valve behind this unit that determines shower vs tub.

It is possible to use this kit. I did the same size shower as you are doing. What I did was laid it out and was a little short on a couple of the sticks. I took some dry wall cardboard shims and cut them to the proper slope and stuck them where the extra pieces would go. I then applied the mortar and used the trowel to smooth it out. Once I had it to the proper slop I carefully pulled out the cardboard and filled in the slot that it came out of. Sounds hard, but was very easy to do. The extra sticks are expensive, especially if you only need a couple of inches.

Hi. I wish they did make it in that length. We have a lot of requests for that, but they do not. And the regular extra long benches are only 48-49 inches long.I have had a couple of handyman types alter the tub-to-toilet benches to fit their situation. They mounted brackets on the interior shower wall to stick the sliding rails into and threw away the interior legs. It worked for them, but of course voids the warranty and makes it non-returnable.

Not that I have heard. Most bathroom fixtures are standard size. I had no problem installing this shower head on my existing shower. It took less than five minutes.

I dont know if its possible to remove it. but we didnt try. I dont think it could be covered nothing came with it. But u dont need to remove it. Its perfect height. It should line up with ur current piping for the spout & shower. this shower is perfect. It gives the temp of the water and the rain shower head is a perfect size. U dont have to move ur head around. Hope this helps. And the price right now is 100 less than what I paid 6 months ago. Ours did go thru a breakin period where the temp gage made noise and would shut off. But that stopped and hasnt done it again.

I purchased it to use in the shower. It's OK however, the finish is totally removed. I do not mind the look.

I don't see why not. The top and bottom rail have to be cut to fit a "normal" shower. I think the rails are over 60" long. The only thing will be how much the doors overlap, the doors are 30 inches wide, so you would only have a 23 inch hole to climb thru. When closed the doors will overlap like 7 inches. My doors overlap about 2.

Hello Janet,There is a bracket that is included for areas that are over 40" and this bracket is what connects the two sections. If you have to connect all three sections, you have to use both brackets. They just slide into the metal shower rod. However, if you do have an area larger than 40", you may want to use a better product. This unit is good for tight spaces with very little options. Larger areas, more options, I suggest you go with a better product. Hope this helps.

Trimming MIGHT be able to be done, but with LOTS of care. Bending? Sorry, no. It comes in two pieces. The top fits into the foot to allow for proper fit, wall to tub. There isn't much flexability after that, which I like, so it won't break very easily. I hope this helps.
