Usage Features
The shower screen is designed for straightforward installation, though it requires careful attention to detail and adherence to the provided instructions. Key usage features include:
- Adjustable Support Bar: The telescopic support bar allows for flexible installation in various shower sizes, with an adjustable length ranging from 70 to 110 cm. This feature helps to accommodate different bathroom dimensions and ensures a secure fit.
- Toughened Safety Glass: The 6 mm thick toughened safety glass is designed to be robust and shatter-resistant. In the event of breakage, it will fragment into small, blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injury compared to standard glass.
- Aluminium Profiles: The use of aluminium profiles provides a lightweight yet sturdy frame for the glass panel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion in a humid bathroom environment.
- Wall Mounting: The screen is securely mounted to the wall using screws and wall plugs, ensuring stability. The wall profile allows for a 10 mm adjustment margin, which can be useful for minor corrections during installation.
- Sealing: The installation process involves applying silicone sealant to the wall profile and the joint between the product and the underlayment. This ensures a watertight seal, preventing leaks and protecting the bathroom structure from water damage.
- Protective Film: A protective film is applied to the glass during manufacturing to prevent scratches and damage during transport and installation. This film should be removed after installation.
- Horizontal Alignment: The instructions emphasize the importance of positioning the support bar and the glass panel horizontally to ensure proper function and aesthetic appeal.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and continued safe operation of the shower screen. While specific cleaning instructions are not detailed, general maintenance practices for glass and aluminium products in a bathroom environment apply:
- Regular Cleaning: The glass and aluminium profiles should be cleaned regularly with appropriate non-abrasive cleaning agents suitable for bathroom surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could scratch the glass or damage the aluminium finish.
- Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect the silicone seals for any signs of wear, cracking, or detachment. Reapply sealant if necessary to maintain a watertight barrier.
- Inspect Fastenings: Regularly check all screws and fastenings to ensure they remain tight. Loose fastenings can compromise the stability of the shower screen and should be tightened immediately.
- Handle with Care: Although the glass is toughened, it is still susceptible to damage from hard impacts or sharp objects. Avoid striking the glass with force, especially on the edges, as this can lead to breakage.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the bathroom to minimize the buildup of moisture, which can contribute to mold growth and potentially affect the integrity of the seals over time.
- Avoid Climbing: Do not hang or climb on the walls or the shower screen, as this can cause structural damage or lead to personal injury.
- Professional Assistance: If any significant damage or malfunction occurs, or if you are unsure about any maintenance procedures, it is advisable to seek professional assistance.
