FAQs
Is a shower tray included with the enclosure?
No, the shower tray is not included and must be purchased separately. Please ensure you select a tray that is compatible with an offset quadrant design.
How do I clean the Shower Shield coating?
For best results, clean the glass with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the coating over time.
Can I install this enclosure myself?
Yes, the enclosure features a patented EasyFit profile designed for easier installation. However, basic DIY skills and adherence to the installation manual are recommended. Professional installation is also an option.
What are the dimensions of the enclosure?
The enclosure has a height of 1900mm. Specific width and depth dimensions for the quadrant shape can be found in the product specifications or installation manual.
How do I maintain the quick-release wheels?
Periodically check the wheels for any debris. Clean them with a damp cloth. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to ensure smooth operation of the doors.
What is the benefit of the reversible design?
The reversible design means the enclosure can be fitted as either a left-handed or right-handed unit, offering flexibility to suit your bathroom's layout and your personal preference during installation.
Can I use standard bathroom cleaners on the glass?
It is recommended to use mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners may damage the Shower Shield coating, reducing its effectiveness and making cleaning more difficult in the long run.
Troubleshooting
Doors not closing properly
Check for obstructions in the track. Adjust the rollers using the adjustment screws or ensure the quick-release wheels are properly seated.
Water leakage from the base
Ensure the shower tray is level and properly sealed. Check the sealant around the base of the enclosure and reapply if necessary.
Glass panels rattling or loose
Verify that all fixings are securely tightened. Consult the installation manual for the correct method of securing the glass panels.
Difficulty cleaning the glass
Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the Shower Shield coating is intact; reapply if necessary.
EasyFit profile seems difficult to align
Refer to the specific diagrams in the installation manual for the EasyFit profile. Ensure all components are oriented correctly before final tightening.
