- Boor gate en plaas muurproppe:
Drill holes at your marked positions with a 6mm (millimeter) drill bit (0.2362''). Insert the wall plugs (S02) into the holes with a hammer.
- Heg Muur Pro aanfiles:
Heg die muur pro aanfile to the wall with screws (S03) and put on the screw cover. Repeat the same operation on the other side.
- Insert Fixed Panel:
Insert the fixed panel into the wall profile (S09).
- Secure Fixed Panels:
Secure the fixed panels with wall profiles using screws (S04, S05), then put on the decorative covers.
- Install Bottom Water Retaining Strip:
Install the bottom water retaining strip (S12) along the base of the fixed panel.

- Installeer handvatsels:
Install the handles (S11) on the moving panels.

- Apply Silicone Sealant:
Apply silicone sealant to the outside edges of the profiles. Allow at least 24 hours for the sealant to dry before use. This step is crucial for a watertight seal.
Advanced Installation Tips (from user experience):
- Pre-Caulking for Stronger Seal: Instead of caulking at the very end, apply two thick beads of mold-resistant silicone caulk to the backside of the wall profile that goes against the tile wall. Gently press the profile against the wall, allowing the caulk to squish out. Then, screw the profile into place. This creates a uniform, 100% watertight seal behind the entire length and width of the railing, distributing the door's weight more effectively. Clean off excess caulk immediately.
- Uithardingstyd: After pre-caulking and securing the first wall profile, allow at least 24 hours for the caulk to fully cure before proceeding with hanging the door or installing other components. This ensures maximum strength and waterproofing.
- Adjusting for Uneven Walls: The door-hinge railing does not have to go all the way inside the wall railing. You can gain additional width (e.g., 1/2 inch) by partially inserting the door-hinge railing into the wall-mount railing. Use this flexibility to achieve a perfectly level and aligned door, especially if your shower walls are not perfectly straight or level. Remember to caulk all joints between metal pieces with clear silicone before tightening screws.

6. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower door.
- Glas skoonmaak: Clean glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid cleaners containing harsh chemicals, ammonia, or abrasive particles.
- Hardware Cleaning: Wipe down metal profiles and handles with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for metal finishes.
- Seëlonderhoud: Periodically inspect the water retaining strips and silicone seals for wear or damage. Replace them if necessary to maintain a watertight enclosure.
- Vermy skuurmiddels: Never use abrasive brushes, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals on any part of the shower door, as this can damage the finish and glass.
7. Probleemoplossing
If you encounter any issues with your shower door, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage from the bottom or sides. | Improperly installed or damaged water retaining strips/seals; insufficient silicone sealant. | Ensure all water retaining strips are correctly seated. Reapply silicone sealant to exterior joints, allowing 24 hours to cure. Check for gaps in the bottom seal strip. |
