A shower door system has a compression mounting system including a horizontal header and curb and upright jambs. The header and curb each include one or more rails mounted above and below the door via associated expansion assemblies. These assemblies have threaded shafts that engage one or more nuts mounted to the rails such that turning the shafts applies compressive forces against opposing end walls of a shower enclosure.

A by-pass shower door system has a compression mounting system including a horizontal header and curb and upright jambs. The header includes a header rail with parallel tracks for slidably mounting the door panels and a threaded header expansion assembly. The curb is mounted beneath the header and includes two curb rails and a threaded curb expansion assembly coupled to the curb rails. The compression assemblies have threaded shafts that engage nuts mounted to the rails such that adjusting the compression assemblies (by turning the shafts) applies a compressive force on opposing end walls of a shower enclosure to mount the header and curb. A cap overlapping the header rail conceals the header expansion assembly. A center guide, having parallel tracks for bottom ends of the door panels, conceals the curb expansion assembly.
