American Standard Prestige 68-Inch High Framed Sliding Shower Door - AMS-AM00729400

The Prestige framed sliding door covers openings from 52 to 54 inches (1321 to 1372 mm). Anything narrower or wider needs a different width door, so measure the finished opening at the top and bottom of the curb before ordering. The door itself stands 68 inches (1727 mm) overall.

Yes. The Prestige sliding door has a simple out-of-square adjustment built into the jambs, so a small amount of wall lean can be taken up during install and still leave the panels running true in the track. That is the usual situation in older multi-family bathrooms where the tile walls have settled.

Sixty-eight inches is the standard height for a sliding door over a bathtub, where the door sits on the tub deck and the tub wall makes up the rest of the enclosure height. For a walk-in shower on a low curb, 68 inches of door can leave more open space above than you want, and a taller framed or frameless enclosure is the better choice there. The Prestige is built as a 68-inch (1727 mm) high unit.

Safety tempered glass. That is what code expects in a bathing enclosure, and it is why the panels break into blunt granules rather than shards if they are struck. Handle the panels by the frame during install; tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled, or trimmed after the fact.

Silver Shine is the frame finish, ordered as part number AM00729400.213. It is a bright polished-look aluminum tone that pairs with chrome and polished-nickel tub fillers and shower trim, which is what most property managers already have on the wall.

No. Two bracketed towel bars come with the Prestige door and mount on the panels, so there is nothing extra to specify for that. You will still need your own silicone sealant and wall anchors suited to the substrate, since tile over cement board and tile over drywall take different fasteners.

Framed. The Prestige is a framed bypass slider: aluminum wall jambs, a header, and a bottom track, with two panels that pass each other. That means the frame carries the glass and the wall jambs get anchored and sealed, so it is more forgiving of out-of-plumb walls than a frameless unit and does not need the heavy glass or hinge hardware a frameless door does. It also means you always have one fixed and one moving panel rather than a clear full-width opening.

The Prestige uses an easy-to-clean bottom track system, which is the part that decides maintenance on a bypass door; the old deep U-channel tracks trap soap and grit. For turns and high-traffic rentals that matters more than the glass itself, because the track is where complaints come from.
