Hey everyone today, I'm gonna be doing a review on the OVE Carmel shower kit from Costco. So let's check it out
So here's the OVE Carmel shower kit that they sell at Costco
Comes in two boxes. The one box is the glass and the other box is the acrylic base
So this unit is 60 inches wide by 32 inches deep and the glass is 80 one and a half inches high
this unit is $659.99 at Costco has 12 millimeter tempered glass an acrylic base a
Sliding door with a flat panel on the other side a hidden drain and it's CSA approved
Now it's a two-person lift because the glass box itself weighs almost 230 pounds
So here's what the system looks like installed
As I'd mentioned it has a flat panel on one side and the slider on the other side
It is reversible so you can flip this around and install it in the other direction
This is the top rail for your system
It's the rail that goes from wall to wall and your sliding door actually sits on top of there and slides back and forth
While your Hardware also mounts to this rail on
The flat panel wall. There's a C channel that runs from the top to the bottom
Behind there. There'll be screws that mount through the C channel right into your wall
I also have wood behind there. So they're screwed right through to the wood
So as for the door itself
It has a seal on this side that goes from the top to the bottom
As well as one along the bottom of the door and the other side has two seals one on the flat panel and one on
The door that overlaps so it's really difficult for water to get through there
On the door it has these two large two-foot chrome handles one on the inside and one on the outside
They're really big and bold and they make the door really easy to slide back and forth
Down at the bottom of the door
There's this chrome strip that gets silicone Don to prevent any water buildup coming off the door from seeping onto your floor
So, let's take a closer
Look at the hardware the whole door system runs on that rail that goes from wall to wall
And it runs really smooth on these wheels that go back and forth
There's a bumper on either end that is adjustable. So you can move it back and forth from the wall
As you can see the wheels that hold on to the door ride
Very smoothly back and forth along that top rail that goes from wall to wall
The rest of the hardware has a beautiful chrome finish on it when you hold the pieces they feel heavy and durable
Here's also another look at that big two-foot chrome handle from the inside of the shower
All of the screws also come with matching chrome caps, so it looks beautiful on the inside
The glass itself is 12 millimeters or about half an inch and it has a battle on the edge, it looks really sharp
It's also very sturdy. It doesn't feel flimsy. It doesn't feel like it's gonna fall over the glass is also
CSA approved and tempered for your safety
Now the acrylic base is 60 inches wide by 32 inches deep
It has a nice slope on it
but it's not too steep as
A hidden drain on the one end under that cover and the floor itself has a non-slip kind of checkered pattern to it
The curb is about 2 and 1/2 inches high. So it's a nice low profile. It looks really good
Now this pan has a nail flange that you do have to install yourself
It sits behind the tile at the bottom
You have to screw it and silicone it the reason you have to do this yourself is because the pan is reversible. So
When you pull the cover off the drain you can see there's a nice slope so all the water goes down the drain easily
It's really easy to clean as well when you put the cover back on
You don't have to look at the drain and it gives it a nice sleek. Look
So one last note the glass itself took about four to five
Hours to install there was two of us working on it and the pan itself was installed during the plumbing phase
All right, so let's look at what I liked about this unit
The first thing is the price you can't go wrong with six hundred and fifty nine dollars for the pan and the shower door system
Itself, I also like the twelve millimeter glass instead of 10 millimeter glass. It makes it feel really sturdy and durable
Also the hardware the heavy chrome hardware looks beautiful. It feels durable and it runs really smooth
the only thing I can think of that I didn't like about this unit is that you have to install the nail flange yourself if
This unit is gonna fail. I think this is where it'll happen
All in all I think this OB shower system unit from Costco is a great Buy, and I think you should check it out
