INSTALLATION OF EMBRACE FRAMELESS SHOWER
Please ensure you have read and understood the ‘Installation Notes’ on Page 1.
MARKING OUT
Identify your specic shower using the Layout Plan on page 3. Using the appropriate
measurements mark out the channel positions on the tile base.
Position the oor channels in place to ensure door space is correct
(TIP: This can easily be completed by placing the aluminum water bar (11) in position.
Please note that you should not have to cut your water bar).
Ensure tiles are clean and free of dust and dirt. Once the channels are correctly in place,
remove the double sided tape backing and attach oor channels to the tiles.
INSTALLING WALL CHANNELS
The wall channels are recessed at one end. This is designed to t over the oor channels.
Position the wall channels over the oor channels. Plumb and mark the position with a
pencil on the tiles (refer Diagram C).

Screw your wall channel to the wall with the 50mm screws provided. Ensure that the wall
channel is plumb. Remove any excess silicone protruding from the edges of the wall
channel.
GLASS FITTING
Floor Channels: Place 5mm clear packer blocks at the bottom of the return channel and
hinge panel.
Remove small MDF packing blocks from wall channel.
GLASS FITTING TIP: Lightly spray the rubber seal inside the wall channel with soapy
water. This enables the glass to slide better.
Slide return glass into wall channel then place down into oor channels. Adjust the
position of oor channel packers to ensure even support when the glass edge is plumb.
Once the glass return panel is in position tighten the ve allen key screws evenly in the
wall channel to secure panel (refer Diagram G).
Repeat steps 11, 12 and 13 to install the hinge return panel.
Install end caps (18) on to oor channels using a small amount of silicone.
