General Care & Maintenance.
Provided this product is installed & operated in accordance with these instructions, problems
should not arise. However should maintenance be required it should be carried out by a
competent person with reference to these instructions. Before any work is carried out the
root cause of the problem must be identified. Lakes Bathrooms service engineers are

Cleaning.
(Every one to two weeks depending on local water {hardness} conditions).
All glass panels in this product have a hydrophobic coating aiding ‘runoff’ of water droplets,
reducing the need for frequent cleaning. For best appearance / product life however, regular
cleaning is recommended.
Use ONLY mild soap / detergent solutions to clean. Rinse with water, squeegee glass panels
& wipe frames dry with a soft cloth. Under no circumstances should abrasive, caustic or
scouring products be used. DO NOT use ‘spray & leave’ type cleaning products.
Non compliance with these cleaning instructions may cause plated / painted finishes to
deteriorate & could adversely affect safe operation of the enclosure.

Daily Care.
To prevent the build up of limescale, do not allow water droplets to dry on glass or frames.
After showering, rinse with water, remove droplets from glass with a squeegee & wipe frame
with a soft cloth.

bathtub. Ensure bath rim is
level & that bath / wall (tile)
joints are sealed & cured over
entire length of bath sides as
shown prior to fitting screen.
DO NOT SEAL BATH EDGES UP
TO A FITTED SCREEN!

With the curved face of the wall profile facing
outwards, use the spirit level to ensure wall
profile is plumb, mark screw holes then drill
the wall with the 8mm masonry bit, plug and
affix the wall profile using 3x 60mm M5
screws
It is important to assess the fall of the
bath rim and position the wall profile
so that any water runs off into the bath
and does not pool on the bath rim
Determine the hand of the screen and
insert the top & bottom plugs into the glass
profile and making sure the glass gasket is
in place, affix the bottom hinge using 2 of
the 30mm M4 screws.

Using the wall profile holes as a guide, drill the 3mm holes and then
secure the fixed panel using the 10mm M3.5 screws and washers then
push on the cover caps.
1. Fit the hinge seal into the
groove on the hinge profile.
2. Slide the fixed panel assembly
into the wall profile and position
so that the bottom of the panel
sits on the rim of the bathtub &
is plumb.

Ensuring the washer is in place, lower hinge panel into bottom hinge.
Check glass gasket & top bearing washer are fitted as shown, hold panel
upright in place & fit top hinge with 2x 30mm M4 screws.

Fit the bottom seal to the

arm so that the wall end sits flush with the wall the mark the hole position,
drill (8mm), plug & affix to wall using 5mm x 60mm screw. Ensuring the
gasket is in position in the bracing arm, tighten the clamping screw.

Use of good quality silicone sealant & cleaning / degreasing of all joint
areas is recommended.
Apply continuous silicone sealant bead as indicated EXTERNALLY ONLY

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING :
Screen hinges noisy / not moving smoothly : Apply sanitary silicone based
grease to hinge bearing inner diameters. Check that hinge seal is not
distorted or trapped in gap between profiles.
Leakage in area of bottom hinge : ensure bottom seal is pushed fully up to
bottom hinge.
Water pooling on inside of screen :
Check ‘fall’ of bath rim is toward bathing area (certain bathtubs are
unsuitable for screens of this type).
Leakage :
The sealing method described in these instructions relies on a continuous
seal between walls & bathtub before installing the screen (see fig A), &
positioning of the screen inside the ‘high’ point of the rim, then ensures a
watertight seal around the perimeter, & prevents ‘pooling’ against the
screen. Should ‘pooling’ be a problem it is likely due to incorrect screen /
rim positioning. In the unlikely event of a screen leak, water will be visible
on the outside of the screen itself or around the perimeter silicone seal
ONLY. Water / moisture appearing outside this area (ie at floor level, or
under bathtub) is normally due to incorrect bathtub / screen sealing.
