American Standard Prestige 68-Inch High Framed Sliding Shower Door - AMS-AM00795400

Overall height is 68 inches (1727 mm), so it is a curb-mounted alcove door rather than a full ceiling-height enclosure. It sits on the curb and terminates at 68 inches, which leaves the tile above the door open. Check that your tiled surround runs at least to that height on both jamb walls so the side rails land on finished surface.

Yes. The Prestige door has a simple out-of-square adjustment built into the wall jambs, so the side rails can be shimmed and plumbed independently of the wall lean while the glass panels still track correctly. That adjustment is what keeps the sliding panels from binding in an older alcove where the studs or tile have drifted.

Two frame finishes: Brushed Nickel (AM00795400.006) and Silver Shine (AM00795400.213). Silver Shine is the bright polished look that reads closest to chrome trim, so it is the one to pick if the room already has chrome valves and towel bars. Brushed Nickel matches satin nickel fittings.

Safety tempered glass. Tempered is what building code requires for shower and bathtub enclosure glazing, and it breaks into small blunt pieces rather than shards if it ever fails. The framed aluminum surround also carries the panel edges, which is the reason a framed door like this uses thinner glass than a frameless enclosure.

A framed bypass slider like the Prestige is the one to use in an alcove between two walls, where there is no clearance outside the curb for a door to swing. A pivot or hinged door needs swing room in front of the tub or curb and is normally used on a single opening rather than a 56 to 60 inch alcove. Frameless costs more and uses heavier glass; the framed aluminum surround here is the more common spec for multi-family and hospitality volume work.

No, two bracketed towel bars come with the Prestige door and mount to the outside of the panels. For a property manager doing a unit turn, that is one less fixture to source and one less wall penetration in the tile.

The Prestige uses an easy-to-clean bottom track system, which is the detail that matters most in rental and hospitality use where soap scum in a deep channel is the usual complaint. It is still a track-riding sliding door, so it needs a wipe-down, but the channel profile is made to be wiped rather than dug out.

Yes. Both Brushed Nickel and Silver Shine are the same 68-inch-high door covering the same 56 to 60 inch opening range, so finish is the only decision between the two part numbers. That makes it straightforward to standardize one size across a building and vary finish by unit package.
