Rio Case 2 Installation Guide - Surface Profiles - vJUL16 1
Thank you for purchasing this Rio shower screen. Please study these instructions
carefully before assembly and installation.
Checking of Parts
Parts are listed at the beginning of this guide. Please check all supplied parts immediately
and contact the Majestic Shower Company in the event of any missing or damaged parts.
Handling of Parts
When handling glass, use suction glass lifters and take care to ensure that corners or edges
are not knocked. Do not place glass on hard surfaces - place cushioning material under-
neath to prevent the glass from shattering.
Unwrap all metal parts carefully to prevent damaging the plated surfaces.
Pre Installation Checks
Prior to undertaking installation, check the accuracy of the following against specifications
for the particular installation location:
- Verticality and flatness of walls. Where wall profiles are used, some lean in or lean out of
the wall relative to the floor or tray can be accommodated (+/- 9mm if 24mm profile is used,
+/- 5mm if 17mm profile is used). Where a door is to be closed against a wall, the wall
must be substantially vertical. Both walls must be substantially flat.
- Levelness and flatness of the floor or tray. Where a profile or underframe is used under-
neath a glass panel, any minor hollows in the mounting surface must be solidly packed to
prevent deflection under the weight of the glass as this may over stress the glass.
Installation Tips
The general principle of assembly is to assemble parts in the steps shown - first a dry
assembly to check fits or mark cutting or drilling positions and then a final assembly with
silicone.
When cutting aluminium extrusion, wrap the profile with masking tape first and cut through
the taped area - this will help protect the surrounding surface. Use a fine file to smooth cut
edges.
If anti-calcium glass has been specified, the treated side of the glass will be indicated and
should always face inwards towards the wet side of the shower area.
These instructions are for left and right handed units. All parts are reversible.

1enclosure will fit into the aperture within its adjustment tolerances, allowing for any lean of
the wall on the panel side.
Mark where the underframe will sit on the floor or, if installing to a tray, position the Under-
frame 10 mm from the front edge of the tray. Cut the Underframe to fit.
Measure the width of the alcove that the enclosure is to be fitted in to and check that the Run a bead of silicone along the underside of the Underframe as shown and apply
silicone into the corners where the underframe will sit to ensure a seal between
the Underframe and the wall.
Position the Underframe on the floor where marked and tape it in place while the
silicone sets.

profile.
Push the wall profile down as far as it will go and use a 2 metre spirit level to ensure that
it is plumb vertical. Mark the screw fixing holes on the wall and remove the vertical profile.
Drill 4.5 mm holes where marked and insert wall plugs. Reposition the vertical
profile and insert the top and bottom screws to hold it temporarily in place.
Remove the 10 mm Spacer. Insert rubber strip into the underframe as shown to

Using suction glass lifters, lift the glass In Line panel into the vertical wall profile and gently
lower it into the Underframe channel. The Underframe Insert is supplied cut to the correct
length., which is equal to the width of the glass Door plus 8 mm clearance for vertical seals.
Position the In Line panel so that the Underframe Insert fits snugly between the panel and
the wall.
Use a spirit level to ensure that the edge of the panel is plumb vertical. If necessary, insert
additional rubber strips under the panel (a maximum of 3 thicknesses) to achieve this and
note the position of the rubber.
Mark the position of the edge of the In Line panel with tape on the underframe so
that it can be removed and replaced in the same position.
Mark the vertical wall profile at the top edge of the glass for trimming if it is too
long.

Run a bead of silicone along the wall side of the vertical profile, as shown. Screw it in
place.
Apply a generous amount of silicone on the inside of the channels where they meet in
the corner to prevent water penetration.
Ensure that the rubber strip is in place in the underframe channel in the position
to be occupied by the In Line panel. Trim it at the end of the panel position so that
it does not extend into the door position.

Disassemble the hinges, being careful not to damage the polished surfaces, and place the
hinges and their face plates either side of the hinge slots on the In Line panel with screws
facing inwards. Ensure that each face of the glass is separated from the hinges by a gasket.
Loosely screw the hinges and face plates together.
