Thank you for enquiring about a frameless shower screen from Bathing Bliss. Your screen will be hand-made, specifically for you and as such; great care must be taken when preparing the area where the screen is to be installed.

The following points MUST be observed:

1.  All bases (shower trays, tiled floors, etc) should be horizontal over the whole length. If the base is out of level the screen may be difficult to install and remedial work may need to be carried out by your builder prior to installation.

2. Please note that where your screen is being installed directly onto a tiled floor it is imperative that you consider any items below the tiles (i.e. under-floor heating, pipe-work etc) that could be damaged when the glazing channels are being screw fixed into place. You should also be aware that the plastic seal on the bottom of the door works by the wiper blade making contact with the tiles. Therefore it is possible that when the tiles are grouted, gaps may be left that water may pass through.

3. All walls should be upright, level and plumb. If the walls are not upright, level and plumb the screen may be difficult to install and remedial work may need to be carried out by your builder prior to installation.

4. Your shower screen is manufactured using thick toughened safety glass that is heavy. It is important that all walls (and ceiling where appropriate) are suitably prepared so that we can achieve a suitable secure fixing (for hinges, channels, stay bars etc) during installation. If the wall is a stud wall (as opposed to a solid wall) timber supports MUST be located behind the fixing points. The minimum specification of these timbers is either 300mm x 300mm x 25mm squares where the hinges or stay bars are fixed directly to the wall (the exact location of these is governed by the overall height of your shower screen - contact us for more info if required) or 100mm x 50mm x required length where glazing channels are fixed directly to the wall (and ceiling where panels are being installed full height).

5. Your dimensions should be taken to finished works. This means that all bases and walls should be in their finished condition (tiled or marbled etc) before measuring.

6. If you specifically require any channels to be installed before you tile (so that you can tile up to them to conceal them) all sub wall surfaces must again be fully prepared. Please note that this kind of installation will require additional visits by your installer to measure.

7. You must ensure that your installer is fully informed, at the time of the initial visit to site to measure, of any items that you intend to position after either the measuring or the installation has taken place, that may in effect, in anyway, the future operation of your shower screen (i.e. wall mounted towel radiators, WC's, basins etc).

After Installation

8. To allow sufficient time for any silicone to fully cure (where it is used to secure glass into the glazing channels), your shower screen should be left alone for a minimum of 48 hours. Under no circumstances should you attempt to open the shower door as this may effect its future operation.
