Positioning & Ventilation
Furniture must be at least 300mm away from any wet areas. Materials used in the construction of our furniture units are moisture-resistant, not waterproof. Do not expose furniture to shower spray. It is important that your bathroom is adequately ventilated to eliminate moisture build-up. High humidity will lead to permanent dampness and mold resulting in a deterioration of the materials in your bathroom. Good ventilation is important to prevent mold & moisture build-up.
Water damage is not covered under ADP Warranty.
-
Check for Support Beams
Wall hung furniture requires fixing to a support beam fitted between the studs to give a solid wall backing to attach the cabinet to. -
Check for Plumb Walls
Ensure the wall is plumb and straight. If you fix the product to a non-plumb wall, the doors will not operate correctly and they will not align.
SHAVING CABINET INSTALLATION
Note: If you are installing a light or PowerPoint with your shaving cabinet
make sure you consult with your electrician before installing.
**POSITION CABINET & LEVEL
**
- . Place cabinet on a flat surface to remove any doors. Remove doors and place flat on a soft surface with mirrors facing up to avoid damages.
- Locate support beams and position unit in the desired location and check all sides are sitting level.
- Mark the position of the cabinet on all four corners of the cabinet
Note: Damage during installation is not covered under the ADP warranty.
SECURING THE CABINET
Securely fasten the cabinet to the wall through the back with appropriate screws/bolts at the TOP and BOTTOM of the cabinet. Evenly space apart from the horizontal fixings at a maximum of 300mm apart.
Note: Where a stud or support beam cannot be located, use an appropriately sized hollow wall anchor.
SEALING
Apply non-acidic silicone to all edges where the cabinet meets the wall.
Note: Gap sealant can be used in place of silicone where the unit meets tiled surfaces.
ADJUST DOORS
Install doors back onto the cabinet and make adjustments to align the doors correctly. See opposite page for instructions.
****IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO DOORS AFTER INSTALLATION.
OPTION: WHEN RECESSING A MIRRORED SHAVING CABINET
Complete Step 1, cut a hole 4mm bigger than the overall cabinet carcass in the wall. Position and secure cabinet in cut-out, go to Step 2.
Note: Make sure the hole has sufficient nogging to fix the top and bottom of the carcass.
Ensure the cabinet carcass protrudes by a minimum of 20mm from the wall (including tiles) to allow for finger pull on the door.
DOOR HINGE ALIGNMENT
SIDE ADJUSTMENT
Use the front screw to move the door to the left or right, or to level each door.
SIDE ADJUSTMENT

Tips
- ADP products are produced from materials that are well suited to the bathroom, however, it is important that your bathroom has sufficient ventilation to avoid excessive moisture. High humidity will lead to permanent dampness and mold, resulting in deterioration of the materials.
- Care must always be taken to dry any excess moisture or water spillage.
Cabinets
- To maintain the finish on your cabinet use only a soft cloth and a weak solution of nonabrasive detergent.
- To remove scratches, marks, etc. on two-pack polyurethane, rub gently with car cutting compound, car polish, or household brass/silver cleaner.
- Goods used in construction are water/moisture-resistant, but not water-proof.
- All cabinets should be installed at least 300mm away from showers or bathtubs to avoid water damage.
Mirrors
FOR BEST RESULTS
Use a slightly moistened microfibre cloth to remove dry dirt or grime, then
buff clean with a dry microfibre cloth or use a soft dry cloth with a tight
weave (which is softer and non-abrasive). This will leave you with a clean,
smear-free finish. By using alkaline (ammonia) or acid (vinegar) based
products you not only risk damaging the silvered backing of the mirror but
also tend to leave behind streaks and smears.
DO NOT
Do Not use ammonia-based cleaning products such as glass cleaner. These may
erode the mirror’s silver backing. Be sure to read the label of any such
cleaning products before use.
PROTECTION AGAINST ‘BLACK-SPOTTING’
Alkaline, acid, and moisture elements can cause the silvered backing of a
mirror to darken, this is usually referred to as ‘black-spotting’. An easy way
to protect your mirror against black-spotting is to regularly oil any exposed
edges (i.e. polished or beveled edges), using non-petroleum-based oils (eg.
sewing machine oil). This will act as a seal to protect against such elements.
Always remember to keep your mirror dry and wipe off any water, moisture, or
steam.
Let’s talk bathroom ventilation
Good bathroom ventilation will save you thousands of dollars and keep your
family healthy – mold can be a huge problem in bathrooms if they’re not
properly ventilated.
We’ve broken down everything you need to know about ventilation with a handy
guide.
Scan to watch a quick 3-minute video with our top bathroom care and maintenance tips to ensure you get years longer out of your bathroom products!
Why ventilation is so important
It’s crucial to have the best ventilation possible for your bathroom as
moisture can be the root of all wet area products breaking down and failing,
in particular your vanity and mirror. These products are usually water
resistant not waterproof so it’s important moisture does not build up which
will mean your products will last longer, saving you money!
Good ventilation is also key to achieving lower humidity in the room which
will minimize bacteria growth and prevent mold and mildew. You’ll have less
mildew on your grout, walls, and ceilings, and fewer mold spores to threaten
your respiratory health.
So why wouldn’t you keep your bathroom well ventilated!
Signs of poor ventilation
The earliest sign to look out for is black spotting on mirrors.
When the steam or humidity rises to the top of the room and ventilation is not
sufficient, the mirror (which is normally positioned high up in the room) is
the first thing to steam up. Over time, this causes damage to the mirror that
appears as black spots or corrosion which cannot be reversed.
Other signs might include paint starting to flake on the ceiling, bubbling of
paint coatings on fixtures, and furniture swelling.
Evidence of mold or mildew is also a good indicator that your ventilation is
not adequate.
How to achieve good ventilation
The best sign that your ventilation is sufficient is that the mirror doesn’t
steam up and the tiled walls aren’t wet.
The best way to achieve this is to have a good exhaust fan that is correctly
sized for the space, to do this you need approximately 50 cfm per toilet and
50cfm per shower or bath. The fan should be installed to exhaust air into a
duct that directs the air outdoors, not into your walls. Using the wall joists
to guide exhaust air can result in moisture and mold problems in the walls.
Run the fan every time water is being used in the bathroom and run it for
around 15 minutes after you shower.
If you have a bathroom window, opening that daily (even in the chilly winter
months) in addition to using the exhaust fan will help to keep your bathroom
fresh and mold-free.
We hope you enjoy your well-ventilated, mold-free bathroom for many years to
come!
