GUARANTEE
EASY CLEAN GLASS
Opulence glass shower enclosures are coated with an Easy
Clean coating. The coating is an effective protection for easy
to clean glass.
To optimize the durability of the Easy Clean protection, we
recommend the following:
• Regularly rinse off the water & soap deposits by drying
the surface with a squeegee or cloth if necessary.
• Clean the glass panels weekly (depending on the use &
the hardness of the water).
• Clean glass with warm soapy water or water
containg a small amount of washing up liquid.
Rinse thoroughly & wipe with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
DO NOT USE abrasive products, strong or concentrated
acids, alkalis, chlorine or other abrasive cleaning products
such as household bleach, disinfectant, bathroom limescale
remover / mousse as they may discolour or damage the
coating and void the warranty.

Before you start the installation, ENSURE that the
shower area / shower tray / wetfloor former area where
the doors are to be fitted is level, both side to side and
front to back, using a spirit level (indicated by the red
dotted lines above).
1: CHECK THE LEVEL!
Run a bead of clear silicone bathroom sealant down the narrow
face, for the full length of the outer compensator and then
screw to the wall using suitable screws (NOT SUPPLIED).
Wipe ANY excess silicone from compensator/wall joint.
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES WHEN
USING SILICONE SEALANT.
5: LOCATE PANEL “A”
Slide “PANEL A” into the wall compensator. An optional self adhesive
protective strip is supplied for applying to the bottom edge of the glass panel,
see inset above. We recommend using this on a tiled floor setting.
DO NOT DRILL FIXING HOLES INTO COMPENSATOR INNER YET.
DO NOT REMOVE PANEL STICKERS UNTIL DOORS
ARE FULLY ASSEMBLED.
The hinge attached to “PANEL A” will have a spigot ready
to accept “PANEL B”. Ensure the spigot part of the hinge is
on the outer side of the door, with the receiving pin pointing
upwards, to ensure the rise & fall hinges open outward.
6: DOOR HINGE CLOSE UP

Mark position of wall compensator
fixing points, checking the

With the doors assembled and in the
closed position, ENSURE that the
magnetic profiles where the door(s)
/ return panels meet at the corner are
parallel and the magnetic profiles come
together for the full height of the doors.
Offer “PANEL B” to “PANEL A”.
The female hinge section of “PANEL B” locates onto the male hinge
section of “PANEL A”.
9: LOCATE PANEL “C”
Using a spirit level ensure the top of all the door panels are level,
on both the long side and return side, and are also level where
the magnetic profiles meet at the corner.
10: PANELS MUST BE LEVEL!
11: THERE SHOULD BE NO GAPS!
