SHOWER SCREENS

All of our products are manufactured in accordance with EN 14428. Our shower spaces feature 10mm thick, toughened safety glass to EN 1250 and have been treated with the EnduroShield protective finish at no additional charge.

Aluminium sections are extruded to BS 1474 from alloys complying with BS 6463 and coated to BS 6464.

All of The Shower Lab spaces are approved for use with power showers, where installed correctly. Water retention is maintained under normal showering conditions. We recommend that you shower using either a fixed or adjustable shower head that is appropriately positioned. The water flow should not face directly towards the shower screen as this could result in leaks. Please note, our walk-in spaces may allow water spray to pass beyond the length of the screen. Again, this depends on the position of the showerhead and the volume of water it delivers. For more information on the correct positioning for showerheads, please contact your local The Shower Lab partner showroom.

Your new shower space should be installed in a well-ventilated area to minimise the build-up of steam. Mineral deposits found in normal shower water can cause watermarks and limescale when left to build up. Over time, this will cause your shower space to look dull and can cause damage if ignored. To prevent limescale build-up, wipe down your screens with a soft cloth or chamois after each use.

We recommend that you install a suitable waterproof flooring outside of your showering area. This will prevent a spray or mist from escaping beneath your shower space and causing moisture damage.

Please note, our product descriptions do not imply the use of precious or valuable materials. All finishes are described by colour and shown within our catalogue as accurately as possible within the limits of the printing process. Please visit your local

The Shower Lab partner showroom to see our component finishes and glass colours in person. The Shower Lab follows a policy of continuous improvement and product design. Therefore, we reserve the right to change product information and prices without notice.

BATH SCREENS

The Shower Lab bath screens are not designed to fit baths with steeped fronts, integral soap dishes, headrests, roll-top designs or those with handles sitting above the top of the bath. If you choose to install them in this setting, the performance of your screen may be affected.

All of our inward opening bath screens need appropriate space to move. Care must be given when positioning the taps in your bath to ensure that sufficient space is left to fold the screen flat against the wall.

The Shower Lab bath screens are suitable for use with standard pressure showers. We do not recommend that they are used with power showers. During installation, we recommend that the shower head is positioned parallel to the bath screen. It should not be aimed directly at the screen.

INSTALLATION

All of our The Shower Lab spaces are provided with full installation instructions. If required, please show the following information to your installation team before they commence any work.

Care should be taken when preparing the area where the screen is to be installed. The following points should be observed.

• For easy installation, the base (shower tray, tiled floor etc) should be level over the whole length. If the base is out of level, our standard shower spaces cannot be used.

• For easy installation, all walls should be level and plumb. If the walls are out of level or not plumb, our standard shower spaces cannot be used.

• Please note, if your shower space is being installed directly onto a tiled floor, you must consider that items beneath these tiles (including under-floor heating or pipework) could be damaged when underframes and channels are being fitted.

• The Shower Lab spaces are manufactured using 10mm thick, toughened safety glass. This heavy material needs appropriate support to be installed safely. Please ensure that all walls and ceilings are suitably prepared so that hinges, channels and stay bars can be safely installed.

• When installing on to stud walls, timber supports should be located behind the fixing points. The minimum specification of these timbers should be 50mm x 100mm (2”x4”).These should be fitted where the hinges, stay bars and profiles are fitted directly to the walls.

This exact placement will be governed by the overall height of your shower screen or 100mm x 50mm x required length where glazing channels are fitted to the wall. For more information, please speak to your local The Shower Lab partner showroom.

• All dimensions supplied to The Shower Lab should be taken to finished works. Ensure shower trays, tiled floors and tiled walls are all completed before taking these measurements.

• If you require any channels to be installed before tiling takes place in order to conceal them, all sub surfaces should be fully prepared before measurements are taken.

• We recommend you carefully consider the position of bathroom items intended for installation after your shower screen, if they could impact the future operation. These include wall-mounted towel radiators, WC’s and basins. An experienced bathroom designer will be able to advise on this.

• Care should be taken when choosing wall finishes, including tiles. Where one of our shower space doors closes directly on to the wall, it will close with a translucent seal. While this has a soft bubble which will compress against the wall, gaps between tiles for grout may act as a channel through which water can escape. We also recommend avoiding smaller mosaic tiles or tiles with irregular levels when closing a door on to an inline fixed panel for the same reason. Alternatively, select a different shower space design.

• The Shower Lab will not be held responsible for leakages as described where this advice has been ignored.

If you have any further questions, contact The Shower Lab team for full details about our surveying and installation service.
