Thank you for purchasing this Portofino shower enclosure. Please study these instructions carefully before assembly
and installation and check all supplied parts immediately upon receipt.
This guide is for a Portofino enclosure with Underframe and with Surface Wall Profiles.
It provides instructions for an enclosure with a 45 degree Wall Support Bar. If you have chosen to use Ceiling Support
Brackets in place of a support bar, please ignore the relevant sections of this guide and follow the instructions provided
with your ceiling brackets.
Similarly, if you have chosen a handle of towel rail other than those shown in this guide, please follow the specific
instructions provided with your handle or rail.
Pre Installation Checks
Prior to undertaking installation, check the accuracy of the following against specifications for the particular installation
location:
- Verticality of walls: Some lean-in or lean-out of the wall relative to the floor can be accommodated (up to 18 mm if 24
mm wall profile is used).
- Floor flatness and levelness (or tray rim flatness and levelness if a shower tray is used). The floor or tray rim must
be substantially flat and any minor hollows beneath the underframe must be solidly packed to prevent deflection of the
underframe under the weight of the glass as such deflection may over stress the glass.
General Instructions
Some steps in the installation procedure require two people.
Before beginning, please familiarise yourself with the glass handling guide attached to the glass panels. Do not place
glass panels on hard surfaces - place cushioning material underneath them to prevent the glass from shattering.
If anti-calcium glass has been specified, the treated side of the glass will be indicated and should always face inwards
towards the inside (wet side) of the shower area. Where appropriate, the top end of glass panels will also be indicated.
Unwrap all parts carefully to avoid damaging the plated surfaces.
Parts Supplied
The following parts are supplied (with the exception of any bespoke options that you may have selected, as explained
above). Please check them and contact the Majestic Shower Company in the event of missing or damaged parts.

Temporarily assemble the underframe and place it in
position on the floor or tray.
Both sections of the underframe are supplied at maxi-
mum length to be cut down on site to accommodate
any lean in or lean out of the wall relative to the floor.
For 24 mm wall profile:
If your wall leans inwards, cut 0-9 mm from the wall
end of the profile; if it leans outwards, cut 9-18 mm. If
the wall is at right angles to the floor or tray, cut 9 mm
from the wall end of the profile.

For 17 mm wall profile:
If your wall leans inwards, cut 0-5 mm from the wall
end of the profile; if it leans outwards, cut 5-10 mm. If
the wall is at right angles to the floor or tray, cut 5 mm
from the wall end of the profile.
If the underframe is being installed on a tray, its
position in relation to the edge of the tray must also
be considered. Ideally, the outer edge of the under-
frame should 10 mm back from the edge of the tray
on all sides.

After cutting the side of the underframe to size, apply
silicone to the mitred faces of the front and side
sections and assemble the underframe using the
connectors provided. Fully tighten the grub screws.
Replace the assembled underframe in position on the
floor or tray and mark its position.
Run a substantial bead of silicone along the centre of
the underframe to seal it against the floor or tray and
apply a small amount of silicone in the corners where
the underframe will sit against the wall.
Replace the underframe in position where you have
marked the floor or tray and tape it in place whilst the
silicone sets.
Insert the 10 mm spacer into the underframe channel
and use it to align one of the wall profiles. Push the
profile down as far as it will go and, using a spirit level
to ensure that it is perfectly vertical, mark the screw
hole positions on the wall and then remove the profile.
Repeat this process with the second wall profile.
Drill 6 mm holes where marked and insert wall plugs.
Reposition the wall profiles and insert the top and
bottom screws to hold them in place.
Remove the 10mm spacer and insert rubber strips into
the underframe channels where the Return panel and
the In Line panel will sit.

Using suction glass lifters, lift the In Line and Return
panels into their respective wall profiles and carefully
lower into the underframe channel. Ensure that the
Return panel is pulled forward in the underframe to
align as shown.
Make sure that the gap for the door is the correct
width (width of door + 10 mm) and that the under-
frame Insert fits snugly between the glass panels.
Check that the front edges of the In Line and Return
panels are plumb vertical and level with one another,
using additional rubber strips under the glass if
necessary and noting the position of these strips.
Do not use more than 3 thicknesses of rubber under
each panel of glass.
11 Disassemble the Glass to Wall brackets being careful
not to damage the face plates. With the clear plastic
gaskets inserted between the brackets and the glass
and the wall screw plates facing inwards, align all four
brackets centrally in the slots in the glass, hold them
in place and mark the screw hole positions.
Mark both wall profiles at the top edge of the glass so
that they can be trimmed flush.
Use the suction glass lifters to remove the Return
panel, making a note of the number and position of the
rubber strips that you have placed under the panel.
Unscrew and remove the wall profiles.
Drill 7mm holes for the wall brackets in the positions
marked and insert the wall plugs. Apply a small amount
of silicone around the holes in the wall to prevent any
water from leaking into the wall.

Cut the wall profiles to length using a Junior hacksaw
and then file the cut ends smooth.
Run a bead of silicone along the wall side of the wall
profiles and screw them tightly in place.
Loosely screw the Glass to Wall brackets to the wall.
Check that the rubber strips are correctly positioned.
Run beads of silicone along the inside of both vertical
wall profiles as shown, and the underframe channels
where the Return panel and In Line panel will sit.
Do not apply silicone to the underframe where the
Insert will be fitted under the door. Place a generous
amount of silicone into the bottom corners where the
vertical profiles and underframe channels meet.
Using suction glass lifters, replace the glass Return
panel and In Line panel into the silicone lined channels.
To prevent leakage around the wall brackets, fill the
glass slots with silicone as shown.
Loosely fix the face plates of the glass to wall brackets
through the slots in the glass, ensuring that the clear
gaskets are inserted on both sides of the panel. Fully
tighten the wall screws.
Ensure the Return panels are plumb vertical and in the
correct position in the underframe, then fully tighten
the glass to wall bracket face plates.
