American Standard Prestige Rain Finish Framed By-pass Shower Doors with 68" Height - AMS-AM00735C422

The Prestige framed by-pass doors fit an opening of 40 to 42 inches (1016 to 1067 mm). Measure the finished opening at the top, middle, and bottom of the curb wall; if any of those measurements falls outside 40 to 42 inches, this unit is not the right size. The frame includes out-of-square adjustment, so walls that are slightly off plumb within that range can still be accommodated.

Overall height is 68 inches (1727 mm). That is the full assembled height including the top track, so your tiled or surround wall needs at least 68 inches of usable height above the curb or threshold where the frame lands. Anything shorter and the top track has nowhere to anchor.

Simple out-of-square adjustment is built into the frame, so the wall jambs can be shimmed and set to follow walls that are slightly out of plumb while the glass panels still hang true in the track. This matters most in older tub alcoves and multi-family rehabs where the studs have moved. The adjustment absorbs a modest amount of error, not a badly bowed wall, and the finished opening still has to land within 40 to 42 inches.

By-pass doors like the Prestige run two panels on a track, so neither panel swings out into the bathroom. That is the practical pick for a 40 to 42 inch alcove tub or shower where a hinged door would hit a vanity or toilet. The tradeoff is access: you only ever get roughly half the opening clear at a time, and one panel always overlaps the other. If you need the full opening clear for mobility or for a bench, a pivot or swing door is the better call, though it needs swing clearance in front.

Safety tempered glass, with a Rain finish. The Rain pattern is an obscured texture, so it breaks up sightlines into the shower while still passing light, which is what most buyers want on a tub alcove that faces the bathroom door. If you want a clear view of the tile inside, this is the wrong glass choice.

Two bracketed towel bars are part of the Prestige by-pass door assembly, one on each panel. Nothing extra to order for that. The brackets double as the pulls, so you grab the bar to slide the panel.

Silver Shine is the frame finish, ordered as part number AM00735C422.213. It is a bright polished-look silver, so it reads closest to polished chrome trim. If the rest of the bath is brushed nickel or matte black, expect a visible difference at the track and towel bars.

The Prestige uses an easy-to-clean bottom track system, which means the track is shaped to be wiped out rather than trapping soap film in a deep channel. For property managers turning units over, that is the difference between a wipe-down and a scrub. The Rain obscure glass also hides water spotting better than clear glass does between cleanings.
