Step-by-step installation guide

Step 1: Measurement and Marking

 1. Determine Location: Decide on the installation location for the shower screen. Generally, the installation location should be easily accessible while ensuring it does not obstruct any other facilities.

 2. Measure Height: Use a measuring tape to determine the installation height of the shower screen. Mark this height on the wall with a pencil.

 3. Mark hinge locations: Mark the hinge locations on the wall and shower screen according to the hinge design. Ensure the marks are horizontal and evenly spaced.

 Step Two: Preparing the Wall

 1. Inspect Wall Posts: Use a wall post detector to locate the wall post. If the hinge aligns with the wall post, it can be directly secured with screws to increase support. Otherwise, wall anchors may be necessary.

 2. Drilling Holes: Use an electric drill to drill holes at the marked hinge locations. If using wall anchors, drill holes that match the wall anchor dimensions.

 Step 3: Install the hinges

 1. Secure the hinge to the wall: Align the hinge with the pre-drilled hole and then secure it to the wall with screws. If using a wall anchor, insert the wall anchor first, and then tighten the hinge.

 2. **Install the hinges to the shower screen:** Place the shower screen against the hinges and secure it in place. Ensure the shower screen is level and aligned.

 Step 4: Check alignment and functionality

 1. Adjust the shower screen level Use a level to ensure the shower screen is perfectly vertical. If necessary, adjust the level by loosening the screws and readjusting the position of the shower screen.

 2. Test the shower door: Open and close the shower door to ensure it swings smoothly. Adjust the hinges if necessary.

 Step 5: Edge Sealing (Optional)

 1. Apply silicone sealant: To enhance waterproofing, you can apply silicone sealant to the edges where the shower screen meets the wall. This step is optional but helps prevent leaks.

 2. Accept curing: If you used silicone sealant, please allow it to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before using the shower enclosure.
