Good product: Maax shower door kit

From the giving credit where credit is due dep't:
Just finished installing a set of shower doors for a client. They bought
them (online from Home Despot). Fairly simple kit, from Maax (a Canuck
company, it turns out), but there were some "gotchas" in the
installation, of course, like one wall that wasn't exactly plumb. So I
ended up calling their toll-free tech support line, which was duly
answered. (Basically the advice was "shim it", which is what I did.)
The product is good: aluminum frame members, doors hang from top track
on nylon rollers. Everything fits together nicely; good provision for
caulking; manual is clearly written (hey, it even says "Measure twice,
cut once" a couple times). End result is good-looking and smoothly
functional.

To me, the *plonk...* reminds me of the old man at the public hearing
who stands to make his point, then removes his hearing aid as a sign
that he is not going to hear any rebuttals.

I said "manual is clearly written", didn't I?

I installed one of their showers in our ensuite. I ordered a second
base from them and installed it upside down above the shower and put
an approved light fixture in the drain hole.

I liked that unit for the curved glass doors. No problems with the
install or operation of the doors.
The upside down bottom top, well it's different if nothing else. I
haven't finished closing up the curved space between the top and
ceiling yet. I'm thinking narrow wood strips similar to a roll top
desk tambour.
It's a tiny ensuite. You pretty much have to drop your drawers and
back in. Comes in handy when we have company.
