Wickes Bath Screens Half Frame Installation Guide

Important Note on Safety Glass

In order to comply with European Regulatory Requirements,all of our shower enclosures/bath screens undergo a thermal toughening process.
This process makes the glass significantly stronger compared to standard glass,however in the unlikely event the glass should break during use,the glass in its entirety will shatter into small manageable fragments, the intention of this ensures avoiding large dangerously sharp shards of glass

Important – Please Read

  • Important: The wall plugs included in this pack are for solid walls only. If the product is to be mounted on a partition or stud wall, specialised fixings should be purchased separately-your local building merchant should be able to ensure you have the correct fixings for intended wall type. ecAUTION! Before drilling into any walls check that there are no hidden cables or pipes. Exercise great care when using power tools near water. The use of a residual current device (RCD) or cordless drill is recommended. Always double check the positioning and measurements before drilling holes.
  • This product is heavy and requires two people during lifting and installation.
  • Glass is delicate, support on cardboard to minimise the risk of damage

Installation Tips

  • Fixing tips; A piece of insulating tape or a couple of layers of masking tape applied to the wall before marking out the fixing holes will help stop the drill from wandering, particularly on tiled surfaces.
  • When working near a basin or bath insert the plug into the waste, this will help you avoid losing small parts. Also take care not to drop accessories or tools onto the bath or basin, use a towel or bathmat to protect delicate surfaces.
  • Do not fix the wall profile to newly plastered,painted or papered walls as chemical reaction may cause discolouration to surface finish.
