FAQs
Can this screen be installed on a shower tray?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with both tiled wetroom floors and standard shower trays.
Is the glass safe?
Yes, the product is constructed from 8mm toughened safety glass, which is designed to be impact-resistant.
Does the screen come with a support bar?
The framed design provides structural stability, but please verify your specific local installation requirements regarding overhead or side support bars based on your layout.
Can I install this myself?
While technically possible for advanced DIYers, we recommend professional installation due to the weight and fragile nature of the large glass panel.
How do I maintain the brushed pewter finish?
Use only a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid bleach and acidic cleaners to preserve the finish.
Is the screen reversible?
Yes, the screen is fully reversible for left or right-hand entry.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the base of the frame
Check the integrity of the silicone seal at the floor level and re-apply if there are visible gaps.

Ensure all wall-mounting screws are tightened securely and the profile is properly anchored to the wall structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this unit should be performed by a competent professional, particularly to ensure the glass is handled safely during positioning. The screen is compatible with both wetroom floors and standard shower trays.
Installation Tips:
- Check your floor level and wall plumbness; the frame can accommodate minor adjustments, but walls must be relatively square.
- Ensure the floor area is properly waterproofed (tanked) if installing directly onto a tiled surface.
- Use silicone sealant specifically designed for wetroom applications to ensure a watertight seal at the base and wall profile.
Maintenance:
- Wipe down the glass after use with a squeegee to prevent hard water buildup.
- Clean the aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the brushed finish.
