- Secure Mounting: Ensure the wall structure where the shower wall will be mounted is sound and capable of supporting the weight of the unit. Use appropriate fasteners for your wall type.

Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing your walk-in shower wall. Refer to the detailed diagrams and instructions provided with your specific product packaging for precise measurements and fastening methods.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the shower tray or floor is level and the wall is clean and structurally sound. Mark the desired position for the wall profiles.
- Mount Wall Profiles: Secure the aluminum wall profiles to the wall using appropriate screws and wall plugs. Ensure they are perfectly vertical using a spirit level.
- Insert Glass Panel: Carefully lift and insert the ESG glass panel into the mounted wall profiles. Ensure the glass is seated correctly and securely.
- Install Supporting Bar: Attach the flexible supporting bar from the top of the glass panel to the adjacent wall. Adjust its length to provide stability and ensure the glass panel is plumb.
- Seal Gaps: Apply silicone sealant along the bottom edge of the glass panel where it meets the shower tray/floor, and along the wall profiles to ensure a watertight seal. Allow adequate drying time before use.

Operating Instructions
The vidaXL Walk-in Shower Wall is a fixed panel designed to create a shower enclosure. No specific operational steps are required beyond its proper installation. Ensure that the area around the shower wall is kept clear to prevent accidental impact to the glass.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower wall.
- Glass Cleaning: Clean the ESG glass panel regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring agents that can scratch the glass or damage the stone design.
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Sealant Inspection: Periodically inspect the silicone seals for any signs of wear, cracking, or mold. Reapply sealant as necessary to maintain a watertight enclosure.
- Hardware Check: Occasionally check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Do not overtighten.
