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.
Tighten hinges and brackets to the recommended 15.6N.
•
•
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
down. On certain panels an easy clean coating is applied to one side only, this is clearly
marked with a sticker on the non-coated side. The coated surface is to be fitted inwards
towards the inside (wet side) of the screen.
•Ensure that all surfaces to be sealed are clean and dry prior to applying the silicone
sealant. Use a high grade fungal resistant sealant.
•Allow a minimum of 24 hours after application of the silicone sealant prior to using the
screen.
