Before Starting:
Please read and understand these
instructions. Not following these instructions
will invalidate your warranty (although this
does not affect your statutory rights) and
could cause injury during or after installation.
This is a two-person job. All glass must be
handled with great care. This product is
made from toughened glass and must not be
replaced by standard, non-certified material.
If you are in any doubt, call the helpline or
consult a suitably qualified person.
Check that all parts listed on page 3 are
included in the box and that you have the
necessary tools to hand. Note that some
parts, such as screws, may have more than
the number stated.
DISCLAIMER: Should any parts be missing
or damaged, do not continue with the
installation and call the Customer Helpline
number on 01604 633607. We cannot accept
liability for any costs arising from installation
of damaged or faulty parts.
Ensure you have sufficient space and a
clean, dry area for assembly. This product
should ideally be fitted to a flat wall, although
it will allow for walls that are up to 20mm out
of true. However, if the surface is uneven,
additional silicone sealing will be required.
Note: This product should only be fitted over
a sound tiled surface.
Important: The wall plugs included in this
pack are for solid walls only.
If the product is to be mounted on a partition
or stud wall, specialised fixings should be
purchased separately.
CAUTION! Before drilling into any walls,
check that there are no hidden cables or
pipes. Exercise great care when using power
tools near water. The use of a residual
current device (RCD) or cordless drill is
recommended. Always double-check the
position and your measurements before
drilling holes. Protective eyewear should be
used when drilling and handling glass.
Keep children away from the work area and
remember that all small parts, plastic bags
and tools should also be kept out of reach
of children.
Fixing tips: A piece of insulating tape or a couple
of layers of masking tape applied to the wall
before marking out the fixing holes will help stop
the drill from wandering on tiled surfaces. Also, to
avoid the loss of small parts down the drain, put
the plug in the plughole. Additionally, take care
not to drop accessories or tools onto the shower
tray; use a towel or bathmat to protect delicate
surfaces.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure that all parts listed on page 3 are included in the box and that you have the
necessary tools to hand (some parts such as screws may have more than the number
stated). Ensure that you have sufficient space and a clean, dry area for assembly.
2. Using the spirit level, ensure that the shower tray (or base of the shower) is level on all
sides.
3. Once you have located the two fixing holes at the top and two at the bottom of each
frame. Apply a short piece of protective tape to the lip near the holes (this will protect the
lip surface when using a screwdriver). With your assistant holding both frames upright,
carefully put four 40mm screws through the fixing holes Fig.1, by hand, so the screw
heads are just below the frame lip but not fully home. Align the side panel at right angles
to the door panel, so the screws through the door frame line up with the holes in the side
panel Fig.2. Note: Snap both frames together and ensure they are at right angles to each
other or you will damage the holes in the frame panel when you tighten the screws.
With your assistant holding both frames together, carefully and evenly tighten all four
screws using a normal screwdriver. Important: Do not use a power driver as this will
damage the lip, which can be seen with the cover piece in place).
When fully tightened, remove the two pieces of protective tape from the lip but don’t fit
jointed cover profile, this comes later.
4. Push fit the 2 frame end channels onto the completed frame assembly (lip with screw slots
facing inwards) Fig.3 and with your assistant, centrally locate the complete assembly in the
desired position over the shower tray. Check horizontal and vertical alignments using the
spirit level.
5. Again, with your assistant holding this in place, mark the position of the screw slots in the
frame end channels, on the tiled wall, with the marker pen/pencil Fig.4.

6. Put the frame (with the end frame channels attached) to one side and drill the marked
locations, using a 6mm masonry drill bit for a 40mm wall plug Fig.5.
7. Insert the wall plugs into the drilled hole using the rubber mallet to ensure flush fitting with
the wall surface Fig.6.
8. Position the frame and end frame channels, back onto the shower tray (as point 4) so the
screw holes locate with the inserted wall plugs.
9. Loosely fix the end frame channels to the corresponding wall, using 8 x 40mm (4 each
side) screws and caps Fig.7 (Picture shows end frame channel without frame assembly
attached, for clarity).
10. With your assistant firmly holding the frame assembly, re-check the vertical alignment
with the spirit level. Minor adjustment can be made using the end frame channel slots, to
ensure alignment. When correct, tighten.
11. Having checked that the door opens and closes smoothly and with all levels correct, mark
and drill fixing holes through the end channels into the frame, (3 per side) Fig.8 & 9, using
a 3mm Metal drill bit.
12. Secure the end channels into the frame using 6 x 10mm screws and screw cap washers
Fig.10. Tip: if the door does not close correctly then the frame is out of true and should be
realigned

16. Making sure the room is well ventilated; finish off by applying silicone sealant as shown in
Fig.16.
NOTE: Sealant should not be applied to the inside of the enclosure when fitted over tiles (only
the outside) – this stops water from becoming trapped and turning stagnant. Allow 24 hours
(under normal conditions) for the silicone to cure before using the shower.
