Measure and Cut the Bottom Track

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury.

Always wear safety glasses when cutting

materials.

IMPORTANT!

If your shower has a curve in the corners where they meet the

sidewalls, be sure to measure from wall to wall above the curves. Failure to measure

above the curve or angle could result in the bottom track being cut too short.

Trim the edges off the insert in the last 2

″ (5.1 cm) of one end of the insert.

Slide the trimmed end of the insert into the groove in the bottom track.
Bend the trimmed end of the insert so the end can be grasped and pull the insert

until it runs the length of the bottom track.
Make sure the insert is flush with far end of the bottom track and trim off the

excess insert.
Measure from wall to wall at the flattest part of the shower ledge (dimension

″D″).

Mark dimension

″D″ on the bottom track.

IMPORTANT!

For best results, use a 32-teeth per inch hacksaw blade and a miter

box to cut the bottom track.

Subtract 1-1/8

″ (2.9 cm) from dimension ″D″ and simultaneously cut the bottom

track and insert to this dimension.
File the rough edges smooth where the bottom track was cut, taking care not to

mar the finished surface.

NOTE:

If there are curves where the sidewalls meet the threshold, use a file to

contour the bottom track edges to match the curves.
