Installing the Loft Style Shower Screens & Enclosures requires careful handling to ensure a secure and stylish finish. Here are some essential tips to guide you through the process:

1. Surveying the Project

  • Ensure that all shower trays, tiles, and any other aspects not directly linked to the glass installation are in place before calculating glass sizes.
  • Check that the walls and floors are level or plumb. Measuring devices and angle finders can assist with this.

2. Preparation is Key

  • Ensure all components, such as profiles, brackets, and glass panels, are clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Measure the space accurately to ensure that all profiles fit perfectly, checking against your original survey.
  • Check for plumbing pipes when planning hole placement. Mark installation points to ensure straight and precise positioning.
  • Measure the height and width of the wall or floor where the grid and U-profiles will be installed.

3. Cutting & Installing U Profiles

  • Use a fine-toothed hacksaw or aluminum profile cutter to cut the profiles to your desired length. For perfect corners, mitre the ends at 45 degrees using a mitre box or saw.
  • Position U-profiles (G7012BL-LOFT / G7013BL-LOFT) at the base and sides of the glass panels.
  • Installation depends on the substrate; No.6 countersunk stainless steel screws (3.5mm x 40mm) with a wall plug are commonly used.
  • Before securing, use a spirit level to ensure they are straight.
  • Apply Soudall Fix ALL generously within the U-profile before installing the glass. Allow the silicone to partially cure before moving on.

4. Installing Corner Profiles

  • Use 180° and 90° Corner Profiles (G.DK.LOFT.020, G.DK.LOFT.021) for the enclosure's framed look.
  • Position them vertically along the glass edge, secure using adhesive, and hold until the bond is secure.

5. Installing the LoftStyle Black Flat Profile

  • Cut to size using a clean, sharp saw blade.
  • Apply Double Side Tape centrally on the back of the profile and attach to the glass.
  • Align both sides of the glass carefully.

6. Mounting Support Bars

  • Use robust support bar components to attach to the glass and the wall, adding stability.
  • Securely fix the mount to the wall, cut and position the bar, and attach the glass mount to the support bar.
  • Secure into place using grub screws.

7. Final Adjustments

  • Check all connections and profiles for alignment and stability. Adjust as necessary before the adhesive fully cures.

8. Sealing the Edges

9. Cleaning and Maintenance

  • Clean installed profiles and glass using non-abrasive glass cleaners. Regular maintenance ensures durability and aesthetics.

By following these tips, you'll achieve a sleek, professional finish for your Loft Style Shower Screens and Enclosures.
