Troubleshooting

Water leakage from the enclosure

Check that all seals and gaskets are properly fitted and undamaged. Ensure the enclosure is level and that the return panel is correctly aligned. Verify the shower tray or floor drain is functioning correctly.

Hinged panel is stiff or not closing properly

Inspect the hinges for any debris or obstruction. Lightly lubricate the hinges if necessary, following manufacturer recommendations. Ensure the panel is aligned correctly with the frame.

Difficulty cleaning the tile insert drain

Remove the tile insert section completely. Use a small brush to clear debris from the drain channel and trap. Ensure all components are rinsed thoroughly before reassembly.

Black grid finish shows water spots or streaks

Dry the frame and finish immediately after cleaning with a soft, lint-free cloth. Use distilled water for cleaning if your tap water is particularly hard.
