Stik Stall

An Alumax shower door framework system that allows a variety of stand-alone doors to be installed with sidelites or return panels. The 30 main Stik Stall aluminum extruded components can be used individually or from kits to achieve an almost infinite variety of unit configurations. When referring to a stand alone door in a Stik Stall configuration the stand-alone model number is incorporated into the Stik Stall model number designation. For example a 338 stand-alone frameless pivot door in a Stik Stall configuration with a sidelite becomes a 391. A 700c stand-alone framed continuous hinge door in a Stik Stall configuration with a return panel becomes a 792c.

   

Tub Height Unit

Refers to a shower slider unit that is designed to sit upon the rim of an existing tub. These units are roughly 55 ¾” to 58 ½” tall.
