4. Setup and Installation
This section provides a general overview of the installation process. Detailed step-by-step instructions with diagrams are typically included in the product's specific assembly guide. Always refer to that guide for precise measurements and procedures.
- Prepare the Area: Ensure the installation area is clean, level, and waterproof. The floor and walls must be structurally sound.
- Install the Shower Tray: Position the ABS shower tray in the desired corner. Ensure it is perfectly level and properly connected to the waste drainage system. Apply sealant around the base as required.
- Mount Wall Profiles: Attach the vertical aluminum wall profiles to the walls, ensuring they are plumb and at the correct distance. Mark and drill holes, then secure with appropriate fasteners.
- Install Fixed Glass Panels: Carefully insert the fixed glass panels into the wall profiles and secure them according to the assembly guide.
- Assemble Sliding Doors: Attach the rollers and guides to the sliding doors. Install the door handles.
- Mount Sliding Doors: Carefully hang the sliding doors onto the top and bottom tracks. Adjust the rollers to ensure smooth operation and proper alignment.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a waterproof silicone sealant to all external joints between the profiles, glass, and shower tray to prevent leaks. Allow adequate drying time before use.
- Final Inspection: Check all connections, ensure doors slide smoothly, and verify there are no leaks.

5. Operating Instructions
The Vente-unique SIDOA shower enclosure features smooth-gliding sliding doors for convenient access.
- Opening and Closing: Gently push or pull the door handles to slide the doors open or closed. Avoid forcing the doors.
- Water Retention: Ensure the doors are fully closed before starting the shower to prevent water from escaping the enclosure.
- Ventilation: After showering, leave the doors slightly ajar for a period to allow for ventilation and reduce condensation, which helps prevent mold and mildew buildup.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your shower enclosure.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the glass panels and profiles with clean water to remove soap residue and hard water spots. Use a squeegee on the glass for best results.
- Weekly Cleaning: Clean the glass and profiles with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for shower enclosures. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the glass or finishes.
- Track Cleaning: Periodically clean the door tracks to remove any accumulated dirt, soap scum, or hair, which can impede door movement.
- Sealant Inspection: Regularly inspect the silicone sealant for any signs of wear, cracking, or mold. Reapply sealant if necessary to maintain a watertight seal.
- Roller and Guide Check: Check the door rollers and guides periodically for smooth operation. Clean and lubricate if needed (use silicone-based lubricant, not oil-based).
