IMPORTANT
This shower screen / enclosure must be installed by suitably qualified individuals. We
recommend a minimum of two people for safe assembly of certain sections of this
screen.
Ensure all appropriate safety equipment, especially protective footwear, safety glasses
and gloves are used.
When drilling holes in ceramic tiles, use masking tape to prevent the drill from slipping:
DO NOT use hammer action as this will crack the tiles. Use a high quality drill bit to
ensure a clean, precise hole.
Please leave these instructions with the customer following installation.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before disposing of the packaging and prior to commencing assembly, please check all
the components to ensure that they have been supplied correctly and are undamaged.
Subsequent claims for missing or damaged pieces will not be accepted once the
packaging has been disposed of and installation commenced.
In the event of any queries please contact your supplier quoting the relevant model
information.
The Tray / Tiled floor on which this screen is to be installed must be level on all sides.
It may be necessary to use alternate fixings to those supplied, depending on the
properties of the walls to be fixed to.
Use the protective corners supplied at all times until the glass is moved to its final
position.
Ensure that the glass is installed correctly, taking care to avoid installing the glass upside

These instructions are for left and right handed options.
The view below is for a Right Hand configuration with
a SB1 “Configuration A” stay bar. On screens where
panel A and B are less than 800mm nominal width, a
stay bar is not required. You will need to determine
which configuration you have and adapt the
instructions as appropriate.

Page 6 of 17
Position panel A base channel using a Set Square or Roofing Square. If using a
raised shower tray, leave a recommended 3 –8mm gap from the edge of the tray,
(depending how far back you wish the base channel to sit).
IF NOT using a shower tray, position the base channel in the desired position.
The end of the base channel should be
firmly against the wall where the wall
channel is to be fitted.
Temporarily fix the
base channel by
peeling the backing
strip off two of the
adhesive pads
underneath and
pressing in position.
Insert the 10mm thick Square Alignment Jig to locate the wall channel. Using a
Spirit Level ensure that the channel is vertical. Mark three holes through the pre-
drilled channel as indicated to attach the channel to the wall.
Using a 5.5mm high quality masonry drill bit for a clean and precise hole, drill
the holes where marked and insert the wall plugs fully.

Professional Tip:
If drilling ceramic tiles, place masking tape on the tiles before
marking and drill through the tape to prevent the drill bit from
skidding around.
DO NOT use ‘Hammer action’ as this will crack the tiles.

Test fix the wall channel using the screws provided.
DO NOT use silicone at this point.
Trial fit panel A. Note the orientation and position of panel A, this can be
determined by the number & size of holes and any attached labels.
Panel A is fitted onto 2 stacks of spacers, positioned
as shown within the base channel: Start with the 3mm
spacers. NOTE,there must be a minimum of one No. 1mm
spacer under panel A.
Using purpose made ‘Glass Lifters’ to handle panel A, carefully
insert into the wall channel and lower onto the spacers.
Panel A must be inserted squarely into the wall channel and
lowered into the base channel. Take great care NOT to knock
the corners as this can cause the panel to shatter.
To remove panel A, lift squarely from the base channel and
slide out of the wall channel.
WARNING: The glass is heavy and may damage the
floor and base channel if handled incorrectly. It is
advisable to use a suitable non-slip protective mat to
safeguard against damage to the floor (A strip of carpet is
ideal). Never place glass across the base channel as this can
damage it.
Remove and replace panel A adding or subtracting spacers as necessary to level
the panel (to a maximum height of 5mm inside the base channel). Check panel A
is level using a Spirit Level.
Loosely assemble the two 90° glass to wall brackets onto panel A. The face that
attaches to the wall should normally be located within the shower screen.
DO NOT fit the cover plates yet.
Using a Pencil, mark the holes
for attaching the 90° glass to
wall brackets to the wall.

Remove panel A and set aside safely to refit later.
Using a 5.5mm high quality masonry drill bit for a clean and precise hole, drill the
holes where marked and insert the wall plugs fully.
Securely fix the 90° glass to wall brackets squarely to the wall.
Ensure the spacers are still in place in panel A base channel.
Carefully replace panel A ensuring it is level.
Reassemble the 90° glass to wall brackets. Evenly tighten the screws until the
gaskets are just ‘nipped’. DO NOT fit the cover plates yet.
Measure the distance from the wall to the outside edge of panel A. Add 12mm,
this is your final dimension.
Remove the spacers from panel A base channel, note their position and keep
together as separate stacks.
Mark the position of the inner edge (wet face) of panel A base channel onto the
shower tray or floor.
Carefully remove panel A base channel from the shower tray / floor.
Measure the length of the final dimension [taken in
instruction 12] back from the mitred end (45° end)
of panel A base channel and mark, then carefully
cut squarely with a fine toothed Junior Hacksaw.
For best results we recommend
wrapping some masking tape around the
base channel in the area to be cut. Mark
this with a Pencil to the correct length
then cut, using a fine bladed Junior
Hacksaw. Unwrap the tape, and remove
any burrs with a fine toothed File, taking
care not to scratch or damage the
surface finish.
Reposition panel A base channel using a Set Square or Roofing Square to the
mark made in instruction 13.

Place panel B base channel on the shower tray / floor squarely up against panel B
base channel as indicated.
Temporarily fix the base channel by peeling the backing strip off two of the
adhesive pads underneath and pressing in position.
Fit panel B. Note the orientation and position of panel B, this can be determined
by the number & size of holes and any attached labels.
Panel B is fitted onto 2 stacks of spacers, positioned as shown within the base
channel: Start with the 3mm spacers. NOTE,there must be a minimum of one No. 1mm
spacer under panel B.
Using purpose made ‘Glass Lifters’ to handle panel B,
carefully lift onto the spacers and slide up to the inside
face of panel A base channel so that the front edge of
panel B is flush with the front of panel A.
Panel B must be inserted squarely into the base channel
and slid towards panel A. Take great care NOT to knock
the corners as this can cause the glass to shatter.
To remove panel B, slide away from panel A, then lift
squarely from the base channel.
WARNING: The glass is heavy and may
damage the floor and base channel if handled
incorrectly. It is advisable to use a suitable non-
slip protective mat to safeguard against damage to the
floor (A strip of carpet is ideal). Never place glass across
the base channel as this can damage it.
Remove and replace panel B adding or subtracting spacers as necessary to level
the panel (to a maximum height of 5mm inside the base channel). Check panel B
is level using a Spirit Level.

Check that the top of both panels are level. This can
be done by raising or lowering one of the panels.
Ensure that you add or remove spacers equally to
raise or lower the panel.
Remember not to stack the spacers higher than 5mm. If the
difference in height between the panels is greater than 5mm,
it may be necessary to lower the original panel before trying
to raise the second.
Loosely assemble the 90° glass to glass brackets to panels A and B. Evenly
tighten the screws until the gaskets are just ‘nipped’.
DO NOT fit the cover plates yet.
Measure the distance from the front of panel A base channel to the edge of panel
B as shown. This is the final dimension.
Using a straight edge mark
the wall channel where it
needs to be trimmed, in line
with the top of panel A.
We recommend putting a piece of
masking tape on the wall channel
edge and marking onto this to
prevent damage to the wall channel
finish.

instruction 20 back from the mitred end (45° end) of
the base channel.
Using a fine toothed Junior Hacksaw, carefully cut
panel C base channel. Ensure that the cut is square
and along the mark made. Carefully use a fine toothed
File to remove any burrs and sharp edges, taking care
not to scratch or damage the surface finish.
Using a fine toothed Junior Hacksaw, carefully cut the wall channel to the correct
length. Ensure that the cut is square and along the mark made. Carefully use a
fine toothed File to remove any burrs and sharp edges, taking care not to scratch
or damage the surface finish.
Refit panel C base channel squarely into position by peeling off the backing strips
from the adhesive pads and pushing down firmly.
Replace the spacers in panel A base channel in the position they were removed
from in instruction 23.
Re-attach the wall channel, this time using silicone
sealant as indicated. Run a bead of silicone sealant
along the back face of the wall channel to make a water
tight seal to the wall. Again, place the Square Alignment Jig in
and ensure the channel is vertical using a Spirit Level.
Wipe away any excess sealant that may have squeezed out the
side of the channel, to leave a clean finish.
Run beads of silicone sealant down the wall channel, on the inside faces as
shown.
DO NOT run too larger beads or fill the channel with silicone.

To prepare the cut end of the stay bar to take the glass clamp, attach the off-cut to
the stay bar with masking tape as shown. Make sure the non-cut end of the off-cut
is aligned with the end of the stay bar that you have just cut.
Use the Guide holes to drill two 5mm holes
through one side of the stay bar only. Be
careful NOT to drill through completely.
Assemble the stay bar to the glass clamp.
Secure the glass clamp over panel B. The stay bar should be approximately
25mm back from the inside of panel C as shown.

Ensuring that the stay bar is level and square, mark the location of the end of the
bar onto the wall. Remove the stay bar and position the stay bar connector central
to the line and with a small drill, mark the holes for drilling.
Using a 5.5mm high quality masonry drill bit for a clean and precise hole, drill
the holes where marked and insert the wall plugs fully.
Screw the stay bar connector to the wall, reassemble the stay bar to panel B and
securely tighten all fasteners.
Using a sharp Modelling Knife, trim any excess gasket material from the 90° glass
to wall brackets and 90° glass to glass brackets that may have squeezed out
when tightening. Take care not to scratch the glass surface. Fit the cover plates to
all the brackets.
