Prism Pivot Shower Enclosure is rated out of 5 by 34.
Rated 4 out of 5 by applecart from Installation went according to plan Shower enclosure went together well and fit good. There was a problem getting the door to line up. When you are dealing with these 45 degree angles and stuff everything has to be perfectly squared up. I finally installed ss washers underneath door hinges to perfectly line up magnetic latch which solved problem. I suspect the glass thickness has been increased and door hardware wasn't reengineered for the increased thickness. This thing is thick and heavy. Like a bank vault. Only other recommendation to engineers would be to put more drop in the floor pan so beaded water isn't left standing after use. But everything looks and works great.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JFranko from Very nice doors with a few drawbacks First, this is a very nice unit-much heavier than what you would find at local big box store. Because of the weight of the glass, installing it is a two-person job at least for the door. The installation instructions were very clear and there is some adjustment for out of plumb walls but as with most shower enclosures, not much room for error. The only negative is the plastic trim around the door sides to stop water spray are kind of cheap and detract a bit from the overall good quality of the door. We actually only put the door closure trim on since it is tile floor. As compared to having a custom door made, its half the price. Overall very nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joecrock from Dreamline Frameless shower enclosure This shower is one of the better quality shower enclosures on the market,my wife and I do all our own home remodeling,since we own a ninety year old farmhouse it can be a little more involved than a newer home,but this shower was fairly easy to install,if you pay attention to the directions and do the right preparation for plum and square walls,I would recommend this Dreamline Prism to any one as the end product is beautiful and high quality.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Bob M from Poor Fit The glass surround is well made and relatively easy to install, however, it did not fit well at the door side. I installed it on a standard 42” base with angled entry. The door hangs over the front edge of the base! I had to install a threshold at the door to fill the gap. I didn’t expect to have to do that kind of modification.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LH from Easier Than Expected To Install! I love this shower door! It was fairly easy to install. I have never installed a shower door in my life and was able to install this one myself in under three hours. I highly encourage you to buy the manufacturer recommended base. I did not and had to go through a few more steps than necessary to successfully install it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Perry from Great product. Highly recommend. I’m handy but not a pro installer by any stretch. I installed my door by myself but ran into a snag or two you might find helpful. First, the dimensions of my existing base were close but not the same as the recommended base, so I had to recalculate the threshold measurements. Next, I had a wall out of plumb. The adjustable glass/wall profiles provided with the kit took care of that problem nicely. The last issue was with the vinyl sweeps that slip on the bottom and pivot-side of the door. The instructions tell you to install and trim them before hanging the door. Prolly works for a pro that has done it before, but as a jack-of-all-trades homeowner, I’d have hung the door, then installed and trimmed the vinyl sweeps. You might have already guessed that I trimmed both sweeps too short, leaving gaps for some serious leaks. The company is graciously replacing the vinyl sweeps at no charge. I’ll be able to replace them without any disassembly. Finally, these glass plates are heavy and I very much appreciated my pro suction cups.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vicki L from Fits perfectly! Perfect little shower. Love the non-skid surface of the floor. I hate shower/tub door tracks so this makes it so much easier to clean without them. Quality glass surround and base!

Can you buy a bass to tile two to fit the Dreamline prism??
Unfortunately, you cannot tile over the surfaces of the DreamLine SlimLine neo-angle acrylic shower bases. You can tile the walls of the shower and use a DreamLine SlimLine shower base, but you cannot lay tiles on the curbs or the standing area of the acrylic base as doing this will damage the base and void the warranty.

Is this suitable for a walk in shower? Does the pivot bar and door create a good seal and stop most of the water?
As long as you install the unit correctly and install it with all of the components, there should not be any issues with leaking. Neo-angle enclosures such as the Prism are a smaller style of enclosure, so you will also need to be mindful of where your showerhead is pointing the spray of water. We often recommend that customers consider using an overhead rainfall style showerhead for these styles of enclosures so that the flow of water remains directly over top of the user. The pivot bar and the glass that rests on the threshold must be caulked at the end of the installation. There is also a bottom sweep vinyl that attaches to the bottom of the door that will block the gap between the glass and the pivot bar. This unit will seal magnetically with long magnetic strips that attach to the door glass and the inline strike panel.

I was shipped a 38" base with 36" shower doors. Is that correct?
Yes - the shower base dimensions will be larger than the dimensions of the glass enclosure and this is so that the glass enclosure will fit up onto the curbs of the shower base. The 38" base and the 36" glass enclosure are properly matched for size.

Does the "drip edge" for lack of a better word, that goes on the hinged side panel of the shower need to be trimmed at the hinge cutouts for proper installation?

I installed Swanstone Neo Angie 38x38 base (SS-38NEO) (20-3/16 “ walls by 25 “ front). Very similar to the 38x38 dreamline base (dlt-2038380). I want to install a Dreamline shower enclosure Shen-2136360. Will this surround fit the swanstone provided base?
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the DreamLine neo-angle glass shower enclosures will be compatible with neo-angle base and wall sets from another manufacturer. The measurements for neo-angle products by different manufacturers often do not line up similarly, so you will need to review the technical drawings for the DreamLine product and compare them to the measurements of your installed base and wall set. The technical drawings for the DreamLine product can be found underneath the product picture by clicking the link that says "technical drawings".
