Understand Shower Screen Installation Adelaide

 Is the boredom of self-isolation setting in? Are you’re looking for ways to pass the time and keep busy? If so, then what better way to stay occupied than showing your home a little love. More specifically, showing your shower or wet area a little love.

One such activity is to replace a shower panel with the Frost Shower Panel, from our shower screens range. This is a relatively straight forward project that yields excellent results. However, while shower panels are more contemporary then shower screens, the majority of homes still have the latter installed.

So today, I thought I would provide you with detailed instructions on how to replace/install a shower screen. Namely, a pivot door shower and a walk-in shower screen; both of which are very popular choices with our client’s here at Ross’s Discount Home Centre.

Installing a new shower screen is a fun project that anyone can do, and what better time to keep busy and have something new to focus on than our right now, in our current times.

Installing a Shower Door 

Shower screen doors are those which comprise one glass panel, which either slides, pivots or folds for entry. If you are replacing or installing such a screen, then follow these instructions.

What you’ll Need:

  • Tape measure
  • Masking tape
  • Spirit level
  • Pencil
  • Marking Pen
  • Hacksaw
  • Drill
  • Screwdriver
  • Hammer
  • Silicon

The first step is to mark out where the shower door will sit, this is usually the center point of the shower opening. Use masking tape down the centerline for easy reference. Then using a spirit level, make a straight line down the center of the tape. Run this line up both walls and continue the center line up each wall. Use a level to ensure the wall centerline is straight and plum.

Next, mark out the screw holes on the tape and transfer these to the floor channel. Using a drill, drill the marked holes into the floor and the channel. Place the channel in line with the floor holes and fix it into place using provided screws and a screwdriver. Repeat these steps to fix the two verticle channels into place.

Find the bottom hinge and place it at the end of the floor channel. Mark out the drill holes then drill the holes. Add wall pugs or silicone into the holes, then reposition the hinge and fix it into place with provided screws and a screwdriver.

The fixed panel glass is now ready to be mounted. Mount the fixed panel glass, so it fits into the floor channel, hinge, and wall channels, while also slowing gliding it into position. Next, reassemble the hinge back cover to secure it into place.

The next step is to install the glazing seals to secure the panel into place. Starting from the top, push the seal into the gap until you reach the bottom of the glass.

Find the top hinge and loosen the screws. Please the hinge over the top of the fixed panel glass and tighten the screws to fix it into position. To mount the door glass, loosen the door clasp screws on the top and bottom hinges, and then slide the door glass into the hinges. Tighten the top and bottom door clasp screws to secure the door glass.

The final step is to apply silicone around the shower. Silicon should only be applied to the outer side of the shower door. Run a stip of silicon down the channels and along the bottom of the glass door. Once applied, wet your finger with water and smooth off the silicon to complete the installation.

With balls flying here, there and everywhere, it was bound to happen at some point. I still remember having a particularly loud argument with my sisters one afternoon before visiting my grandparent’s house when I was about 8. After the verbal slanging match, for some reason my sister decided to through a lemon that had fallen off our lemon tree out the back.
