INSTALLATION STEP 1 2-SIDED ACRYLIC
BEFORE YOU START: Decide on the two Door-Set Layout options offered.
OPTION 1: Standard version is outlined in these instructions from page 4 to 9.
OPTION 2: This varies from standard option using vertical seals either side of the door. The door gaps
will be 4mm wider than standard version. Start at the outset if applying this option. Go to
appendage page 10 to get all the details
STEP 1: Wall Channel positioning and attachment
Tile Tray Set-Out: Use the Min to Max
Table to position the glass panels to the tray.
Channel Fixing: Do not penetrate the tiles and
waterproong but bond full width and length of
channels with Bostik V60 Structural Silicone. Leave
a minimum of 36 hours prior to installing shower.
Acrylic Tray Set-Out: Mark position on
acrylic tray and check against the Min to Max Table.
Channel Fixing: Plumb up channels, drill 2mm hole
in liner. Apply 7mm bead of silicone sealer the full
length of channel and fasten with 3.5x4mm screws.

3. Ensure the oor channel positions are marked.
4. Peel off the backing tape under the oor channels and
waterbar and carefully bond these to the tray.
5. Place self-adhesive block as shown in this diagram.
1. Floor channel line is 1mm in from wall channel.
2. Temporally place the return panel oor channel in position, cut waterbar to 605mm to mark out

3. All glass proles are 4mm below the
bottom glass edge as Diagram E.
DIAGRAM F
Check you have glass panels up the right way (refer Diagram F). The specications for glass vertical
aluminium prole is 4mm below the glass.
Standard packing under the glass is 2mm but analyse your requirements.
Height Adjustment at wall
To reduce height from 2mm packing also needs trimming the bottom of vertical prole this amount
(Standard past glass is 4mm). Packing above 2mm will make an equal gap under this prole
Height Adjustment adjacent to door
A reduction from 2mm will require the door to be raised to keep 14mm clearance for Seal/Waterbar.

INSTALLATION STEP 4 FINAL PLACEMENT OF FIXED GLASS PANELS TO CHANNELS
1. Apply silicone along the inside of the oor channel (Diagram G2). Ensure the build is enough to seal
and bond the glass to the inside of channel with a moderate excess. Do not overll.
2. Apply silicone to four positions as shown in Diagram G.
3. Fit the glass in place ensuring it has bottomed to packers. Clean excess silicone.
4. Plumb up glass leading edges and check door gap is 606mm max.

Variation to standard installation:
If surrounds adjacent to shower enclosure are not designated a ‘”Wet Area”, we have provided
vertical seals for each side of the door (Regulating authorities will dictate requirements in your
region).
This required change must be understood
and applied at the outset.
