SAFETY
●Handle glass with care. Sharp impacts can damage the metal components and
could shatter the glass.
●Do not remove the plastic corner protectors from the glass panels until the panels
are about to be fitted.
●As the parts are large, we recommend that two people are needed to carry out
parts of the installation.
●Make sure there are no hidden pipes or cables in the floor and walls where you
intend to drill.
●Wear safety goggles, shoes and appropriate clothing.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
●The enclosure will not sit correctly on an uneven surface. If uneven, the wall
channels may not fit.
●Note: If not fitted on a tray, ensure the enclosure is fitted to a tiled or
waterproof composite floor.
●The enclosure should be fitted on tiled walls which are sealed with waterproof grout.
●Always check very carefully that components are vertical.
●To avoid damage, use the opened out packaging to build the enclosure on.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
Drill, 6mm Masonry Bit, 3mm Metal Bit (general), Crosshead Screwdriver, Spirit Level,
Pencil, Fine Tooth Saw, Silicone Sealant, Scissors, Tape Measure.
Note: The screws and wall plugs supplied are for masonry walls. For lightweight
walls i.e. stud partitions, plasterboard etc, use the correct type of fixings. SINGLE PANEL - PAGES 2 - 4 DOUBLE PANEL - PAGES 4 - 9
