IMPORTANT
This shower screen / enclosure must be installed by suitably qualified individuals. We
recommend a minimum of two people for safe assembly of certain sections of this
screen.
Ensure all appropriate safety equipment, especially protective footwear, safety glasses
and gloves are used.
When drilling holes in ceramic tiles, use masking tape to prevent the drill from slipping:
DO NOT use hammer action as this will crack the tiles. Use a high quality drill bit to
ensure a clean, precise hole.
Please leave these instructions with the customer following installation.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before disposing of the packaging and prior to commencing assembly, please check all
the components to ensure that they have been supplied correctly and are undamaged.
Subsequent claims for missing or damaged pieces will not be accepted once the
packaging has been disposed of and installation commenced.
In the event of any queries please contact your supplier quoting the relevant model
information.
The Tray / Tiled floor on which this screen is to be installed must be level on all sides.
It may be necessary to use alternate fixings to those supplied, depending on the
properties of the walls to be fixed to.
Use the protective corners supplied at all times until the glass is moved to its final
position.
Ensure that the glass is installed correctly, taking care to avoid installing the glass upside
down. On certain panels an easy clean coating is applied to one side only, this is clearly
marked with a sticker on the non-coated side. The coated surface is to be fitted inwards
towards the inside (wet side) of the screen.
Ensure that all surfaces to be sealed are clean and dry prior to applying the silicone
sealant. Use a high grade fungal resistant sealant.
Allow a minimum of 48 hours after application of the silicone sealant prior to using the
screen.

stay bar. On screens with
panels wider than 600mm, a 90° stay bar is
included (SB1). On screens with panels less
than 600mm, no stay bar is necessary. You will
need to determine which configuration you have
and adapt the instructions as appropriate.

Ensure the base is level. Measure the width of the opening where the screen is to
be fitted.
Mark this length on the underframe channel.
For best results we recommend wrapping some masking tape around the
underframe in the area to be cut. Mark this with a Pencil and cut squarely with a
fine toothed Junior Hacksaw.
Unwrap the tape, and remove any burrs with a fine toothed File, taking care not to scratch
or damage the surface finish.
Position the underframe using a set square or roofing square. If using a raised
shower tray, leave a recommended 3
–
8mm gap from the edge of the tray,
(depending how far back you wish the underframe to sit).
IF NOT using a shower tray,
position the underframe in the
desired position.
Pay attention to the orientation of
the underframe.

Insert the 10mm thick Square Alignment Jig to locate the wall channel. Using a
Spirit Level ensure that the channel is vertical. Mark three holes through the pre-
drilled channel as indicated to attach the channel to the wall.
Using a
5.5mm high quality masonry drill bit for a clean and precise hole, drill
the holes where marked and insert the wall plugs fully.
Test fix the wall channel using the screws provided. DO NOT use silicone at this
point.
Start by fitting the inline panel. Note the orientation and position of the panel, this
can be determined by the number & size of holes and any attached labels.
The panel is fitted onto 2 stacks of spacers, positioned as shown within the
underframe channel: Start with the 3mm spacers. NOTE, there must be a minimum of one
1mm spacer under the glass.
Using purpose made ‘Glass Lifters’ to handle the panel, carefully
lift onto the spacers and
insert into the wall channel.
The glass must be inserted squarely into the underframe and slid into the wall channel.
Take great care NOT to knock the corners as this can cause the glass to shatter.
To remove the glass, slide out of the wall channel first, then lift squarely from the
underframe.

Professional Tip:
If drilling ceramic tiles, place masking tape on the tiles before
marking and drill through the tape to prevent the drill bit from
skidding around.
DO NOT
use ‘Hammer action’ as this will crack the tiles.

WARNING: The glass is heavy and may damage the
floor and underframe if handled incorrectly. It is
advisable to use a suitable non-slip protective mat to
safeguard against damage to the floor (A strip of carpet is
ideal). Never place glass across the underframe as this can
damage it.
Remove and replace the glass adding or subtracting spacers as necessary to
level the panel (to a maximum height of 5mm inside the underframe). Check the
glass is level using a Spirit Level.
Loosely assemble the two 90° glass to wall brackets onto the panel. The face that
attaches to the wall should be located within the shower screen.
Using a Pencil, mark the holes for
attaching the 90° glass to wall
brackets to the wall.

Using a straight edge mark
the wall channel where it
needs to be trimmed, in-line
with the top of the glass panel.
We recommend putting a piece of
masking tape on the wall channel
edge and marking onto this to
prevent damage to the wall channel
finish.
Remove the inline panel and
the wall channel and set the
inline panel safely aside to
refit later.
Using a fine toothed Junior
Hacksaw, carefully cut the wall channel to the correct length. Ensure that the cut is square
and along the mark made. Carefully use a fine toothed File to remove any burrs and sharp
edges, taking care not to scratch or damage the surface finish.
Using a
5.5mm high quality masonry drill bit for a clean and precise hole, drill
the holes where marked and insert the wall plugs fully.
Re-attach the wall channel, this time using silicone
sealant as indicated. Run a bead of silicone sealant
along the back face of the wall channel to make a water
tight seal to the wall. Again, place the Square Alignment Jig in
and ensure the channel is vertical using a Spirit Level.
Wipe away any excess sealant that may have squeezed out the
side of the channel, to leave a clean finish.
Run beads of silicone sealant down the return panel wall
channel, on the inside faces as shown.
DO NOT run too larger beads or fill the channel with
silicone.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to put a good amount of silicone in the corner where the wall
channel meets the underframe. This area needs to be properly sealed to prevent any
water leakage.

Measure the width of the door panel. Add 9mm to this dimension. Mark this
distance back from the wall that does not have the wall channel attached. This
marks the inner edge of the inline panel which is next to fit.
We recommend putting a piece of masking tape on the underframe edge and marking
onto this to prevent damage to the underframe finish.
Ensure the spacers are still in place in the underframe.
Carefully replace the inline panel, aligning the edge to the mark you made earlier:
Fix in place with the 90° glass to wall brackets.
Evenly tighten the screws until the gaskets are just ‘nipped’, then turning each screw a
quarter turn at a time, tighten the screws by one full turn.
DO NOT fit the cover plates yet.
Place the door supports over the underframe as shown.
With one person inside the screen, position the door onto the door supports as
indicated.

Add spacers to the door supports in order to level the door.
Check that the top of the door is level with the inline panel. If necessary, add or
remove spacers equally. The gap between the door and the inline panel should be
approximately 5mm.

Measure the distance from the inside face (wet side) of the inline panel to the wall
opposite. Ensure that this measurement is truly horizontal.
Mark the measured length on the stay bar from one end minus 5mm. We suggest
wrapping a piece of masking tape around the stay bar to make this easier.
Carefully cut the stay bar using a fine
toothed Junior Hacksaw, taking care to
make sure the cut is square.
Using a fine toothed File remove any
burrs or sharp edges, taking care not to
scratch or damage the surface finish.
DO NOT discard the off-cut yet.
