IMPORTANT:
Please check the glass and all components thoroughly
before installation; if any of the parts have been supplied
incorrectly or are damaged, contact Majestic immediately.
Any faults with the product found after installation cannot
be rectified and Majestic will not be held responsible for
re-installation of faulty or marked goods.
Unwrap all parts carefully to avoid damaging the chrome
fittings!
This unit must be fitted on a level surface, unless the glass
has been cut to suit any slope in the floor.
Whether fitting to a tiled floor or tray, ensure the area is
degreased, dust free and level.
Do not place the glass panels on hard surfaces! Cover any
hard surfaces you are working on with a cushioned
material, to help prevent the glass from shattering on
contact.
Before commencing the installation, please familiarise
yourself with the glass-handling guide attached to the
glass panels. Where appropriate, the top end of the glass
panels will be indicated.
If you have purchased anti-calcium glass, the treated side
of the glass will be indicated and should always face
towards the inside (wet side) of the shower enclosure.
Certain sections of the installation of this shower enclosure
require two people.

Before cutting the horizontal profiles, you will also have to
consider whether the walls that the panels will be fixed to are
leaning in or out.
A: If wall leans in at top: leave extra length on the profile; cut
off less than 9mm.
B: If wall leans out at the top;the profile needs to be shorter;
cut off more than 9mm.
4
If the unit is being installed on a tray the position of the profiles
in relation to the lip of the tray must also be considered. Ideally
the outer edge of the profiles should sit 10mm back from the
front edge of the tray.
1
Before setting out the front in-line panel you will have to
determine how much you will need to cut off the front in-line
panel A and horizontal return profile. If you cut off 9mm from the
square end of the profiles then the glass panels will sit in the
centre of the vertical wall profile adjustment.
2
If you cut 9mm off the square end of the profiles, then the
glass panels will sit in the centre of the vertical wall profile
adjustment. Before cutting the horizontal profiles make sure
the front glass in-line panel and return panel will fit into their
floor profiles after you have cut off the amount. The horizontal
profiles are mitred as a guide but supplied at maximum
adjustment length.
It is likely you will have to cut them down.

Insert the 10mm spacer into the horizontal return profile, and
use it to align the vertical wall profile. Push the mitred ends
together, and use a spirit level to ensure the wall profile is plumb
vertical.
Mark the screw holes; remove the vertical wall profile. Drill
4.5mm holes; insert Rawl plugs.
8
Reposition the vertical wall profile, and insert the top and bottom
screws to hold it place. Insert a rubber strip into the horizontal
return profile. Using the suction glass lifters, lift the glass return
panel into the profile.
Make sure the return panel is plumb vertical; pack it up with 3”
rubber strips if necessary, taking note of their positions. Do not
use more than three strips of rubber under the panel.

Measure the width of the in-line profile A and the width of the
glass door panel B in mm and write the results into the boxes
below. Use the formula A + B + 8 to calculate C. 6
Make a mark on the floor Cmm along the wall. Place the inside
of the horizontal return profile outside the mark, perpendicular
to the wall. Ensure the mitred end is pushed into the corner,
tape the profile into place and mark its position.
At this point, double check the measurements of the door and
in-line panel to make sure the gap is correct at the front of
the unit.

When you have determined how much to cut off each floor
profile, trim the square end and file smooth.
When measuring the cut profiles, always measure
from the mitre tip to the square ends.

Put the brackets to one side and use the suction glass lifters
to remove the glass return panel. Remove the horizontal return
profile; unscrew and remove the vertical wall profile.
Drill 7mm holes where marked on the wall; insert Rawl plugs.
Cut the vertical wall profile at the mark made earlier; file
smooth.

Run a bead of silicone along the wall side of the vertical wall
profile, and screw it tightly into place. Loosely screw the glass-
to-wall brackets to the wall.

Using a metal scriber, mark the vertical profile profile at the end
of the glass. The glass return panel can be moved backwards or
forwards in the return profile, but the glass must be inside the
vertical wall profile by at least 5mm along its entire height.
10
The end of the glass needs to be flush with the end of the
floor profile at the bottom, you may need to shorten the
bottom profile.
Disassemble two glass-to-wall brackets, being careful not to
damage the faceplates. With the clear plastic gaskets inserted
and wall screw plates facing inwards, align the brackets
centrally to the holes in the glass return panel; hold them in
place and mark the screw holes.

Adjust the door so it is level with the two glass inline panels; the
gaskets should be neat and flush, and the end of the glass door
should not protrude beyond the hinges. Tighten the Allen bolts.

The 1936 door-to-glass seal (2) should be cut
into three pieces to fit vertically above,
between and below the hinges on the end of
the door.
Open the door outwards and slide the
sections into place on the door. If necessary,
adjust the door on its hinges so that it closes
correctly onto the return panel seal.
Steps 25-26 require one person to support the glass
door panel at all times, while another person must be
inside the enclosure with faceplates, gaskets and screws. Insert
a black rubber hinge packer in the door hinge slots as shown.
Position the door mounting blocks on the tray or floor. Using the
suction glass lifters, lift the glass door panel onto the mounting
blocks; be careful not to chip the edges of the glass against
each other.
