CAUTION: handle glass door and glass
panels with care. Glass is heavy and fragile.
For best results, keep direct water sprays
(handshower/showerheads) away from the door.
Never install them directly opposite of the door or
opening. The vulnerable area of a frameless shower
enclosure is the door, so keeping direct water spray
away will ensure you have minimal water escaping.
Store panels and liners on a clean, flat surface only, as
well as all stone items. Leaning panels against a wall
will cause them to bow. Laying them out will also allow
the pieces to acclimate.
CAUTION: Do not use an elastomeric waterproofing
membrane on your backer board as silicone will not
properly stick to it.
