SlimLine Single Threshold Shower Base is rated out of 5 by 62.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PeterS84 from Works as expected. This shower base worked as expected. No complaints from my installer. It does NOT flex when you stand on it and needed no additional support. It has a nice texture under your feet which also seems easy to clean.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SolarCon from You get what you pay for This base is not structural and relies heavily on the bed you set it in.You will not be able to set his base in regular cement of any kind or consisity. Make sure you use a Lightweight Bedding Mortar.Like: CustomFloat Bedding Mortar. Many use STRUCTO-LITE Basecoat Plaster. Dried product is 15% lighter than water.

Rated 4 out of 5 by J from Nice base but touchy. The base looks nice and is really solid. You need to be careful since the edge around the bottom base is flat and if you don't get the base perfectly level you will get water accumulation along the lip. Also it can develop hair line cracks around the drain since you can't get good support under that area if you leave a small buffer around the drain pipe.

Rated 3 out of 5 by KLV from Dimensions are misleading. The specs state that the nominal width is the measurement from left to right. I took that to mean that if I am standing at the threshold where the shower door would be, the pan would be 36" across (left to right) and 42" deep. That is not the case. The pan is actually 42" across the threshold and 36" deep.

Rated 5 out of 5 by QWall5Happy from Great Construction Question : "Benny" commented, "You DO NOT have to use Mortar/Plaster". Then why does the Dreamline "Installation Guide" show the "Cut-Away" View mentioning Mortar/Plaster ?? I nailed mine to the Studs and have moved on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TahoeLinda from Shower Pan - DreamLine This product is very handsome and sturdy. It is very well reinforced underneath. My contractor said it was no trouble to install. We surrounded it with tile (floor to ceiling) and it looks lovely.

Rated 1 out of 5 by K2inMB from Like standing on wet blue ice Because I'm disabled, I needed to replace my tub with a safer, step-in shower. I chose this base because of its low threshold and advertised non-slip properties. However, the first time I used it, I almost fell through the glass shower doors. The base was like standing on wet blue ice. I only escaped serious injury by hauling myself out of the shower by my grad bars. Until I get a non-slip mat for the base, I'm wearing Crocs into the shower. Incredibly dangerous!

on a dlt-1336601 is there a lip on the end opposite the drain?
Model # DLT-1136601 is a single threshold shower base designed for installation into an alcove. It will have tiling flanges on 3 sides of the base (left, right, and back). The front will be a 60" threshold and there will not be any sort of a lip on the threshold - it will be flat from front-to-back. Thank you for your interest in DreamLine!

Does your 54x32 right side drain shower pan have a tile flange on three sides?
All of our bases that are listed as "single threshold" shower bases will have tile flanges on 3 sides of the shower base, so the 54x32" single threshold SlimLine shower base will have tile flanges on 3 sides of the base. Thank you for your interest in DreamLine!

Hi, can you please specify the model number I need for a glass shower door AND the surround walls to fit the 32x42 slimline shower base?
DreamLine offers glue-up acrylic backwalls from our QWALL-VS model series. The model that can be trimmed to fit the 42x32" base is model # SHBW-1548760. For shower door selection, we recommend installing the base, and finishing the walls first. Once the space is completed and ready for a shower door, you will need to measure the width carefully before selecting a shower door to fit. We recommend taking width measurements across the top, middle, and bottom of the finished opening. Some models will accommodate out-of-plumb walls, some will not - so this is why we recommend finishing the opening before selecting a shower door. Thank you for your interest in DreamLine!

I'm confused about whether plumber's putty is recommended for sealing a drain to a Dreamline shower base. I see that Dreamline is both acrylic and fiberglass. Plumber's putty is not recommended for acrylic base, but YouTube videos show it being used.
If you use any type of plumber's putty on an acrylic base, it must specifically say that it is safe for acrylic. As you mentioned, there are a lot of plumbers putty products on the market that are not safe for use on acrylic, so you definitely need to check the specifications on something like that before you use it. DreamLine does not currently have any official installation videos online for our shower bases, so the videos you have seen on YouTube are not made by DreamLine and do not have DreamLine's endorsement. SlimLine shower bases are designed to accept a standard 2" compression-fitted PVC drain, so please use this as your guideline when selecting a drain assembly for the shower base.

What size drain cover do I need? I know the pipe is 2 inches.
DreamLine SlimLine shower bases are designed to accept a standard 2" compression-fitted PVC drain. This is a very common plumbing fixture and most of them will already come with a 4-1/4" drain cover.
