Tempered Glass Warning

YOUR SHOWER DOOR GLASS COULD SHATTER WITHOUT WARNING IF IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR MISHANDLED.

Do Not install or operate a shower door if the glass has chipped corners, slivered edges or is otherwise damaged and/or has been dropped or banged into a hard surface such as tile, marble or glass.
The main causes of tempered glass breakage are:

• Improper handling, storage, unpacking or installation
  • Corners and edges are the most susceptible area to damage on a lite of tempered glass and should be protected and handled with care during storage, unpacking, installation and operation. A concentrated point of pressure or impact with a surface harder than itself may cause the tempered glass to shatter. The tempered glass may release immediately, within several hours or even days later.
• Misuse/abuse
  • Aggressively opening or closing the door may cause trauma to the glass, which can lead to breakage. This may occur immediately or hours or even days later.
  • Additional considerations should be given to the installation of frameless tempered glass products in households with young children or an elderly person due to an increased chance of improper handling. In such cases, alternatives such as shower curtains or grab bars should be considered.
• Lack of maintenance/failure to replace damaged glass
  • The shower door hardware and glass should be inspected periodically: Instruct the homeowner how to perform a periodic inspection of the shower hardware and glass – some minor adjustments may be necessary based upon the use (or misuse) of the shower door. Ensure that the hardware remains tight and that the door alignment and operation are correct. Any adjustments should be made upon discovery to prevent damage to the product.
• Incorrect installation of door hardware, rollers, hinges, channels, stopper or glass:
  • Improper installation may include loose hardware and/or lack of proper gaskets between the hardware and glass. Additionally, improper alignment of guide rails, wall profiles or other hardware during installation or operation may place stress on the glass edges and cause it to break.
  • This product must be installed by a professional and experienced installer familiar with the safe handling of tempered glass.

General Preparation

• After opening all boxes and packages, read this introduction carefully. Check that all the items are included in the package by marking off the components on the Shower Door Components page. Examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or is missing parts; please contact our Customer Support department within 3 business days of the delivery date.
• Please note that Laurel Mountain will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed. Please contact Laurel Mountain if you have any questions.
• Please note that you should refer to your local building codes with questions on installation compliance standards.
• Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and Laurel Mountain is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any returns.
• If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, install all the required plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.
• Make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please note that some adjustments and drilling will be necessary during the installation process.
• Protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down directly onto a tile floor. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.
• This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.
• Laurel Mountain shower doors are not designed to be installed into a fiberglass surround due to the radius corners and lack of a solid surface to mount the hardware.
• WARNING: To Avoid The Risk Of Damage Or Injury
• Follow all recommendations and requirements as shown in the installation instructions.
• Perform a thorough inspection of the glass and all parts for any damage prior to installation. Any damage to tempered glass can cause breakage. DO NOT install damaged glass!
• Do Not install or operate a shower or tub door if the glass has chipped corners, slivered edges or is otherwise damaged. Do Not install or operate a shower or tub door that has been dropped or banged into a hard surface such as tile, marble or glass.
• CAUTION : Contact with any hard surface can damage tempered glass and cause it to shatter.
• This product uses tempered glass. Glass cannot be cut after it has been tempered. DO NOT attempt to cut tempered glass.
• Laurel Mountain Glass Shower doors, Tub doors, Inline panels, and Return panels can shatter due to improper handling or lack of maintenance. Conduct periodic inspections of glass and all parts for possible damage, missing or loose parts.
• Always wear proper safety equipment such as: safety goggles, work gloves and appropriate footwear during the installation process.
• WARNING. Risk of leakage and/or damage. Follow all instructions regarding the application of silicone sealant or caulk.

Allow 24 hours for the sealant to cure before the initial use of the shower or tub product. Follow the silicone manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the use of their product.

• Thoroughly read these instructions before installing or using this product.
• Leave this manual for the end-user of the product.

Pre-Installation Planning

Unpack your unit carefully and inspect it. Lay it out and identify all parts using the Detailed Diagram on page 7; and packing list in this manual as a reference. Before discarding the carton, check for small hardware bags that may have fallen to the bottom of the box. If any parts are damaged or missing, please contact Laurel Mountain for replacement. The shipping boxes may contain extra parts not used in your model configuration. Retain these installation instructions for future reference.

• Verify that the correct model size has been ordered; measure the finished opening before proceeding with the installation.
• Confirm that the finished walls are plumb and the threshold is level and pitched into the shower area.
• Use a good quality waterproof, mildew-resistant 100% silicone caulk.
• Cover the shower/tub drain with tape prior to installation to prevent the loss of screws or small parts.
• DO NOT attach the handle to the door glass until instructed.
• DO NOT attempt to use the handle to lift the door glass during installation. This may result in damage to the glass and/ or serious injury. Always use a professional grade glass suction cup and an assistant.

TIP : This door is reversible. The inside door glass can be installed on either side of the shower, and should always be installed on the shower head side of the shower to avoid leaking between the doors.

Product Maintenance

• Bases and Backwalls
  • To ensure long-lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could permanently scratch or dull the surface.
• Glass
  • To ensure long-lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface of the glass.
• Hardware
  • To ensure a long-lasting finish: wipe off all metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or corrosion).
  • After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish to stainless steel hardware, work with the grain (not across the grain). Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.
• To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass and other hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage. Contact Laurel Mountain with any questions or concerns.

Maintenance Checklist

• Check that the unit is stable, operates smoothly, and that the installation is secure.
• Confirm that all screws/bolts are tight.
• Check door glass for smooth operation. Adjust the height of the door glass if needed (See Step 11).
• Inspect exposed and concealed glass edges for damage (damaged glass must be replaced!)
• Inspect silicone caulk for gaps. Replace silicone as necessary to prevent water leakage.
