DIY Kit Overview

Prima Frameless Inline Shower Door DIY Kit

Same frameless inline shower door as our installed builds, shipped flat-pack to your door - same glass, same hardware, same 1-year warranty. Free phone, text, and video DIY support included.

  • 3/8" tempered glass door + fixed inline panel, with factory nano-coating (~80% less water-spot buildup)
  • Solid-brass hinges, panel clamps, support bar, pull handle, seals, anchors, and instructions in the box
  • Free DIY support - phone, text, video - 8am-5pm ET, 7 days

The Prima DIY kit is identical to our professionally installed Prima - a hinged glass door beside a fixed glass panel in one flat plane. The fixed panel fills the extra width so the door stays a comfortable size, which makes Prima the configuration built for wide openings a single door can't span. The only difference from a pro install: you handle it yourself in 2-4 hours with a helper and skip the install premium.

Standard single-door opening (26-30" wide)? Solo may be the simpler fit.

Is the Prima DIY kit right for your shower?

  • Your opening is wider than a single swinging door can cover on its own.
  • You want a clean, frameless look with minimal surrounding metal.
  • You're comfortable with a two-person, 2-4 hour install - or want to save on labor.

Measuring guide

How to measure your opening

Approximate measurements are fine for a quote - but tempered glass can't be re-cut, so a custom-fabricated build is the safer path if your opening falls between stocked sizes.

1

Width at three heights

Measure across the top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest value - a 1/4" variation top to bottom is normal.

2

Measure the height

From the curb or shower floor up to where the top of the glass or header will sit.

3

Check walls for plumb

Hold a level against each side wall. Minor lean is absorbed by the install; a severe lean is worth a pro measurement.

4

Confirm curb or floor

Make sure the curb is wide enough to land the bottom guide; for a curbless install, note the floor condition.

Install Notes

Installing your Prima kit

Most homeowners install the Prima in 2-4 hours with a helper. The hardware is reversible and adjustable, so the glass can be trued after mounting. The kit includes a printed step-by-step guide and a QR-code install video - and free phone/text/video support if anything looks off. Plan for two people: the trickiest step is lifting the glass into place.

  1. 1

    Mount the wall channel and hinges

    Anchor the U-channel and hinge plates to the studs or substrate using the included template.

  2. 2

    Set the fixed panel + support bar

    Seat the inline panel and brace it back to the wall with the support bar so the wide glass stays rigid.

  3. 3

    Hang and adjust the door

    Hang the hinged door, then fine-tune so it sits plumb with an even gap to the panel.

  4. 4

    Seal and cure

    Run the seals and bottom sweep, silicone the wall joints, and let it cure 24 hours before the first shower.

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is the Prima DIY install?

Most homeowners with basic DIY skills install the Prima in 2-4 hours with a helper. The kit includes a printed step-by-step guide, a 12-minute install video (QR code in the box), and free phone/text/video support 8am-5pm ET, 7 days. The trickiest step is lifting the glass panel into place - plan for two people.

What tools do I need?

Drill, level, tape measure, silicone caulk gun, painter's tape, and a helper. The kit includes all anchors, screws, and the install template. No specialty tools required.

What's the price difference between DIY and Install?

DIY Prima runs $685-$1300; professionally installed runs $1,300-$3,900. The install premium covers laser measurement, fabrication-to-fit, in-home installation, old-door removal, and the upgraded 3-year parts+labor warranty (vs 1-year DIY hardware-only).

What if I order the wrong size?

Tempered glass cannot be recut, so we don't accept returns on cut-to-size kits - but we'll work with you. Call our DIY line before ordering custom for Prima to confirm dimensions, or use the size dropdown to switch to an in-stock size that fits.

How long does shipping take?

Ships in 2 business days from our U.S. warehouses. Standard ground freight runs 3-5 business days within the lower 48. Same-day pickup available if you're local.

What's the DIY warranty?

1-year warranty on glass, hardware, seals, and finish under normal use. Manufacturing defects are covered. Damage from improper install (over-torqued hardware, wrong anchor for substrate) is not - call our DIY line first if you're not sure.

Can I upgrade to professional install later?

Yes - if you're in our service area and the kit is unopened, we'll credit the DIY purchase against an installed quote. Call (866) 452-7707 for the upgrade path. Out-of-area orders stay DIY (we don't sub-contract installs nationally).

Prima vs. Solo

Prima pairs a hinged door with a fixed inline panel for irregular openings and open-end walk-ins. Solo is just the hinged door - for true walk-ins with finished walls. Prima covers more layouts; Solo is simpler.
