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 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 48 hours after application of the silicone sealant prior to using the screen.

1 Ensure the base is level. Measure the width of the opening where the door is to be fitted. Mark this length on the underframe and the underframe top. 2 For best results we recommend wrapping some masking tape around the underframe in the area to be cut. Mark this with a Pencil and cut squarely with a fine toothed Junior Hacksaw. Unwrap the tape, and remove any burrs with a fine toothed File, taking care not to scratch or damage the surface finish. Repeat for the underframe top. 3 Position the underframe using a Set Square or Roofing Square, peel off the backing strip from the self-adhesive pads and push firmly into position. 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 underframe to sit). IF NOT using a shower tray, position the underframe in the desired position. Pay attention to the orientation of the underframe. DO NOT fit the underframe top at this point Page 5 of 10 16/06/2016 Revision 1.1
4 Loosely assemble the two 90 glass to wall hinges onto the door. The face that attaches to the wall should be located within the shower door. Evenly tighten the screws until the gaskets are just nipped. 5 Place the door supports over the underframe as shown. View from Outside 6 With one person inside the door, position the door onto the door supports as indicated. 7 Using a Spirit Level ensure the door is vertical, mark the accessible holes for attaching the 90 glass to wall hinges to the wall. Use a piece of masking tape where the hinges touch the wall to mark onto. Page 6 of 10 16/06/2016 Revision 1.1
Lift the door out and put safely to one side to refit 8 later. Remove one of the hinges and use this as a template to mark the other two fixing holes that could not be marked earlier. 9 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. 10 Reattach the 90 glass to wall hinge removed earlier, evenly tighten the screws until the gaskets are just nipped. 11 Ensure the door supports are still in place. Carefully lift the door back into position, use a Spirit Level to ensure the door is vertical. Securely attach the 90 glass to wall brackets to the wall. Evenly tighten the screws until the gaskets are just nipped, then turning each screw a quarter turn at a time, tighten the screws by one full turn. DO NOT fit the cover plates yet. 12 If a handle option is included, attach the handle, securing in place with the grub screws supplied. The handle should be oriented so that the grub screws are not visible when looking down at the handle. 13 Using a sharp Modelling Knife, trim any excess gasket material from the hinges that may have squeezed out when tightening. Take care not to scratch the glass surface. Fit the cover plates. 16/06/2016 Revision 1.1 Page 7 of 10

Check the glass to wall seal orientation and trim the bottom as shown above to fit 15 neatly around the bottom door seal. Attach the glass to wall seal to the door so that it butts up to the bottom door seal. Using a fine toothed Junior Hacksaw trim the glass to wall seal level with the top of the door. We suggest using a sharp Modelling Knife to cut the softer tail part of the seal. With a sharp Modelling Knife carefull cut the 16 glass to wall seal tail above and below the 90 glass to wall hinges as shown. Take care to get these cuts as close the the hinge as possible to allow the seal to flex around the hinge without leaking. Trim the bottom of the glass to wall bubble seal as shown in section 14 to fit neatly 17 around the bottom door seal. Attach the glass to wall bubble seal to the door so that it butts up to the bottom door seal. Using a fine toothed Junior Hacksaw trim the glass to wall bubble seal level with the top of the door. We suggest using a sharp Modelling Knife to cut the softer bubble part of the seal. 18 Run two small beads of silicone along the underside of the underframe top that was cut earlier, check the orientation is correct and push firmly into position.
