Questions and Answers for Aston Aquadica 30 in. x 72 in. Frameless Hinged Corner Shower Enclosure in Bronze with Clear Glass

A:  Hi Jill- thank you for your interest in Aston and the AQUADICA Completely Frameless Shower Enclosure Collection. The hinge door panel is approx. 32 in x 72 in - so the hinge to the edge of the door would be about 31.5 in. For question regarding your specific bathroom's layout, please consult a licensed contractor as Aston highly recommends, if not requires, professional installation with at least two adults in the process due to the weight of the glass. Please do not DIY this install unless you are experienced. Thank you!

A:  Hi RB - thank you for your interest in Aston and the AQUADICA Completely Frameless Square Shower Enclosure Collection. This model includes one (1) hinged glass panel, one (1) fixed glass return panel, and all decorative and installation hardware. The installation manual on the product page lists all the components that are included. Aston highly recommends, if not requires, professional installation by a licensed contractor with at least two adults in the process due to the heavy nature of the glass and adjustability process. Please do not DIY this install unless you are experienced. Thank you!

A:  Hi Angela - thank you choosing Aston and the AQUADICA Completely Frameless Square Shower Enclosure Collection for your remodel. You would want to consider a 34-in. x 34-in. square acrylic or tile-ready base with fiberglass insulation. Make sure the base's edge threshold is at least 2.5-in. wide and flat. Do not use your existing base, and do not drill into glass tile. You should consult your licensed contractor for what is perfect for your corner alcove, as no two bathroom's are alike. Especially because Aston highly recommends, if not requires, professional installation with at least two adults in the process due to the heavy nature of the glass and adjustability process. Please do not DIY this install unless you are experienced. Thank you!

A:  Hi Rich - thank you for your interest in Aston and the attractive AQUADICA Completely Frameless Shower Enclosure Collection. The top support bar is approximately 12 to14-in. There is no need to extend the hardware or worry about its length, as the tempered, thick glass fixed panel includes pre-drilled holes for the installation clamp. It should easily reach your finished corner alcove wall when the glass is securely and properly installed. Please note Aston highly recommends, if not requires, professional installation by a licensed contractor with at least two adults in the process due to the heavy nature of the glass and adjustability process. Please do not DIY this unless you are experienced. Thank you!

A:  Hi Bonnie - thank you for your interest in Aston and the AQUADICA Completely Frameless Shower Enclosure Collection for your bathroom. This collection is not treated with our StarCast by EnduroShield coating.

We do offer 36-in. x 36-in. frameless hinged enclosure collections from the BROMLEY and MERRICK. Aston highly recommends, if not requires, professional installation by a licensed contractor with at least two adults. Please do not DIY this unless you are experienced. Thank you!

A:  Hi Anthony - thank you for your interest in Aston and the AQUADICA Completely Frameless Square Shower Enclosure for your bathroom. The corner alcove space required for this model is 30-in. x 30-in (its not the glass size, but rather the space it needs) - so your base would not fit ont he 30x30. Aston does not recommend pairing our beautiful enclosures with prefabricated Dreamline, or any third party band bases - as we can not vouch for their [own] specs or measurements. We also suggest a new base with any new shower. But you have options! Typically our beautiful fixtures are installed onto custom tile-ready bases, surround curbs or a zero threshold directly to your bathroom's flooring for a seamless, safe entry and exit. The specification diagrams in the manual - found on this product page - can be used as a resource with your contractor or designer. Always consult a licensed contractor for exactly what works with your bathroom's layout - as professional installation is typically required with at least two adults involved. Thank you!

Regarding options for a pairing shower base or surface, you can use a 2-3" wide tiled [corner] curb, custom acrylic base, zero threshold install directly to your finished bathroom's flooring, or a tiled base solution. Aston does not advise you use your existing, or a new third-party brand prefabricated bases with our luxurious shower models, as we can not vouch for their engineer/design/specs.
