Sterling has been in operation for more than 100 years now, and has been part of the Kohler Company since the 1980s. The backing of Kohler ensures that customers will receive quality products and this includes Sterling shower doors. These come in sliding, swinging and corner styles for separate showers, and narrow to wide bathtub enclosure doors. This means that Sterling provides a range of shower doors for homeowners to choose a suitable style for the enclosure in their home.
When purchasing a shower door from Sterling it typically comes with a fully detailed installation guide. This generally provides information on the Sterling shower door parts available for the particular model purchased. It is therefore important to keep the installation guide safe as it can be a useful resource in case someone wants to change the look of a door, or for someone to find out if replacement parts are available to repair damaged or worn out hardware. Alternatively Sterling offers a telephone service, where customers can call to find if door parts are available. Customers can access this using the 1-800-STERLING phone number. Some Sterling dealers also have replacement parts available and it can therefore be worth checking with the dealer where a door was purchased. Typical parts available include hinges and handles for the swing door style and roller assemblies and tracks for the sliding door style.
Sterling shower stalls are suitable for all sizes of bathroom and come in a couple of categories. The narrow width shower stalls range in size from 32 to 42 inches, while the medium and large width shower stalls come in a size range from around 48 to 63 inches. The shower stalls are manufactured from Sterling’s Vickrell material, which is a combination of a poly resin and fiberglass. This is a durable, long lasting material that has color throughout the thickness of the enclosure walls, which means small scratches and damage is less noticeable. There are a few stall models to choose from and these include tile-look stalls, seated stalls, and ADA compliant roll-in stalls. The stalls typically come in a four piece design, with the walls and base simply snapping together to erect and install the fixture. Options available include square, rectangular and neo angle corner stalls.
Sterling shower kits provide a simple way for a homeowner to purchase and install am enclosure in their bathroom. The kits typically include the parts needed to install a full enclosure in a home. This usually includes a base, walls, glass panels, door, and the hardware required to erect the shower. The kits come in different shapes to suit a few positions in a bathroom. This includes neo angle kits for a corner location, as well as square, corner entry kits, which can be used in corner and other locations in a bathroom. The kits generally have sliver or nickel color metal frames, with clear glass panels and for those looking for a simple and affordable enclosure in their home, Sterling kits are a good option to consider.
For those that are building a custom enclosure in their home, a Sterling shower base can be a good option to choose. These are constructed in Sterling’s poly-resin/fiberglass Vikrell material making them a solid foundation for an enclosure. The bases come in narrow 36 to 42 inch widths and wider 48 to 63 inch sizes. The bases typically come in square and rectangular shapes, with options for the location of the drain including the center, left, or right of the base. However, Sterling also offers neo angle bases for a corner location in a bathroom. The bases typically have a raised rim around the edge to contain water, although ADA compliant bases are manufactured with a low threshold on one side for easy access using a rolling shower chair.
