IMP RTANT INF RMATI N
• Roman’s toughened glass is completely safe for use in our shower enclosures and bath screens; providing our products are installed
according to our guidelines.
• It is important to note, that the glass must not be mounted or ‘pinched’ in such a way that would cause a stress point to develop in the
glass. In addition, it must not be subjected to any sharp impact or severe temperature fluctuation which may also cause a stress point to
develop in the glass.
• Roman’s toughened glass is physically and thermally significantly stronger than standard glass. During our toughening process the
stresses contained within any glass are balanced so if in the unlikely situation any of the above occurs and the glass breaks, the glass will
shatter safely into small thumbnail sized blunt fragments.

IMP RTANT PRE-INSTALLATI N CHECKS
1. Check the tray is level, on all sides (The bubble should be in the centre of the two lines on the spirit level).
2. Stand in the tray and check there is no adverse movement.
3. The walls should be tiled and grouted prior to installing the enclosure.
4. The tiles and the tray should be sealed, using bathroom sealant.
• Spray the seal and joints with the shower head and check for leaks.
• Check the plumbing for leaks.
• Do not grout the tiles when the enclosure has been fitted as the grout may discolour the aluminum profiles.
• Make sure the tray is installed as per the manufacturers instructions.
• When all of the above criteria is complete please proceed to the next step in these instructions.

Step 2 - Fixing the Wall Profiles.
Fix Wall Profile: 1
1. Position the wall profile using the guide on the tray. The lip of the profiles face towards the inside of the enclosure (look at
point 2 above).
• The wall profiles must be vertically level, check using a spirit level. (The bubble should be in the centre of the two
lines on the spirit level).
2. Mark the locations for the drill holes using a pencil.
• Use the supplied wall plugs if fixing the wall profiles into brick or block work, if fixing into plaster board, the
appropriate fixings will need to be used.
3. Drill the holes using 6mm masonry bit (not supplied). Then push the wall plugs in beyond the depth of the tile
4. Apply sealant the width of the wall profile, at the bottom where it meets the wall and the tray. (Important: failure to carry
out this procedure can cause serious water damage and is not covered by the guarantee).
5. Fix the Wall Profile using the 40 mm screws (supplied).
6. Apply Sealant to the inside of the wall profile, where it meets the tray. (Important: failure to carry out this procedure can
cause serious water damage and is not covered by the guarantee).
Fix Wall profile: 2
7. Follow points 1 - 6 to fit wall profile 2, except take the 20mm measurement for the profile location (point 7).
Info:
• (If you are fitting the enclosure straight to floor see the guidance page at the back of these instructions).

Step 3 - Fix the Curved Panel (and end panel if applicable)
1. Remove the black transit caps from all the glass panels.
2. Screw the location pin into the curved profile that is assembled onto the large curved piece of glass.
3. Offer the Curved panel into location in the wall profile and position the location pin into the hole in the tray.
4. Drill through the pre-drilled holes of the wall profile using a 3mm drill bit.
5. Fix the panel into wall profile using the supplied 16mm pan head screws.
6. Offer the Side panel into location on the tray and in the wall profile; make sure the glass is running parallel to the
side of the tray, and is sitting horizontally along the tray. (Fix side panel repeating points 4 and 5).
• (If you are fitting the enclosure straight to floor see the guidance page at the back of these instructions).
• (You may need help to perform the installation steps, particularly to lift and hold the glass panels in location).
(Pease ensure the transport bands are removed with care from the glass panels in this and the following steps.)

1. Disassemble the panel side location cup, and screw the brass insert into the profile on top the curved glass panel, then re-
assemble the cup onto the brass insert. Don't tighten the allen key yet.
2. Determine the location of the wall cup using the full brace bar assembly. Push the brace bar into location in the panel cup
and slide the wall cup on the other end, mark the location using a pencil.
• Make sure the brace bar is level. (The bubble should be in the centre of the two lines on the spirit level).
3. Remove the brace bar and unscrew the brass insert from the wall cup. Hold the insert concentric to the pencil mark and
mark the drill hole location.
4. Drill the location hole using a 6mm masonry drill bit and insert the wall plug.
5. Fix using a 40mm screw and then screw the wall cup onto the brass insert and tight up to the tiles.
6. Re-assemble the bracing bar into the panel side cup and the wall cup.
7. Tighten all the grub screws in the wall and panel cups using an Allen key when you are satisfied the brace bar has been
adjusted correctly.
- There is 25 mm of adjustment in the brace bar to allow correct alignment.
- The brace bar must be level (The bubble should be in the centre of the two lines on the spirit level).
- The Front Panel must be vertically level, make sure the brace bar is adjusted to achieve this.
(The bubble should be in the centre of the two lines on the spirit level).
Step 4 - Assemble the Brace Bar.

the outside of the enclosure)
3. Stick on the Roman Branding Badge.
4. Seal vertically the full length of the wall profiles/wall profile trims where they meet the tiles on the inside of the
enclosure, using bathroom sealant. Also seal vertically the full length of the wall profiles where they meet the tiles on
the outside of the enclosure, using bathroom sealant.
5. Seal horizontally the aluminum profiles and the glass panels on the outside of the enclosure, at the bottom where they
meet the tiles and the tray, using bathroom sealant..
• (Please leave the sealant 24 hrs to cure before use).
IMP RTANT:Failure to carry out the procedure in Steps 4 & 5 can cause serious water damage and is not
