INSTALLATION ON A HOB
When
installing the screen on a hob, your tiler must allow
5mm of fall inwards towards the shower cubicle. This
will assist water away from the door threshold and to
stop ponding against the glass.
And remember, if your screen is to have 135 degrees
intersections, the hob must be 135 degrees to allow
the hinge to operate correctly.
When installing your frameless glass shower screen
without a hob, the floor tiling should be set down
in the shower recess by approximately 12mm and adequate
fall given to the tiling in the shower.
This provides a well for the water and avoids
problems with the door threshold. Again, if there
is to be a 135-degree intersection, the tiling
must be laid at precisely 135 degrees.
And remember, to achieve the best results with
a frameless shower screen, the tiling must be
extremely level, straight and plumb.

INSTALLATION WITHOUT A HOB
In the event that your bathroom floor is already tiled
and no step-down is provided, we have no option
but to seal the glass down on the tiled surface.
This is fine for the fixed panels. However at
the door we need to adhere a 10mm x 10mm perspex strip
to
the
floor. This perspex strip is placed under the
door to create a 10mm step so
the water on the shower floor is contained within the
shower recess doesn't just flow under the door.
We also fix a water seal to the bottom of the door to
shed water off the door and back over the perspex strip
into the shower recess. This
method is not as good as the step-down and should
be avoided if possible.
WATER
SEALING
As an optional extra, we can add a flexible water
seal to the bottom of our doors. This will help prevent
splash and shed water off the door into your shower.
