A shower door assembly includes a door panel having an inner surface to face a bathing enclosure, and a base member having an upper surface positioned between an inner side and an outer side. The base member inner side is positioned between the door panel inner surface and the base member outer side. The inner side at least partially defines a recess and is shaped to receive liquid from and divert liquid back to the bathing enclosure. A base for a moveable door has a substrate defining upper and lower surfaces extending between first and second edge regions, and a first leg section extending from the substrate lower surface and offset from the first edge region. The first leg section and the first edge region of the substrate cooperate to define a liquid diverter extending longitudinally to redirect flow away from the substrate upper surface.
A lower frame member for movable doors comprising a base extending along a longitudinal axis, the base having an upper surface positioned between a first inner side and a second outer side, the first inner side of the base defining an innermost edge of the lower frame member, the first inner side defining a diverter surface having a tangent line oriented at an acute angle relative to the upper surface thereby forming a recessed area beneath the innermost edge.
