Setup and Installation
Assembly is required for this product. Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. The fitting is reversible, allowing you to choose left or right mounting based on your bathroom layout.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and level. Mark the desired position for the shower wall, considering the dimensions.
- Mount the Wall Profiles: Secure the vertical aluminum wall profiles to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs. Use a spirit level to ensure they are perfectly vertical.
- Install the Glass Panels: Carefully insert the frosted ESG glass panels into the aluminum frame profiles. Ensure the seals are correctly positioned to prevent water leakage.
- Assemble Horizontal Supports: Attach any horizontal aluminum supports or hinges as per the diagram, ensuring the panels can fold smoothly.
- Attach Handles: Install the double handles onto the designated glass panels. Ensure they are securely fastened but do not overtighten.
- Seal Gaps: Apply silicone sealant to all external joints between the frame and the wall, and along the bottom edge of the shower wall, to ensure a watertight seal. Allow the sealant to cure completely before using the shower.
- Final Check: Test the folding mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Check for any wobbling or loose parts.

Operating Instructions
The vidaXL Foldable Walk-in Shower Wall is designed for convenience and space-saving. Its four-panel design allows for flexible use.
- Opening the Shower Wall: Gently pull the handles to extend the panels into the desired open position. The panels are hinged to allow for a walk-in entry.
- Folding the Shower Wall: When not in use, push the panels inward towards the wall. The design allows them to fold compactly, saving space in your bathroom. Ensure the panels align correctly to prevent damage.
- Handle Usage: Use the double handles for smooth and controlled opening and closing of the shower wall. Avoid forcing the panels.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower wall.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the glass panels with a soft cloth or squeegee to remove water droplets and prevent water stain buildup.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the glass and aluminum frame with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glass or damage the frame finish.
- Seal Maintenance: Periodically check the silicone seals for any signs of wear, cracking, or mold. Reapply sealant if necessary to maintain a watertight enclosure.
- Hinge and Mechanism Check: Ensure hinges and folding mechanisms operate smoothly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if any stiffness is observed.
