Setup and Installation

Assembly of the vidaXL Walk-in Shower Wall is required. It is recommended that two people perform the installation. Ensure all components are present and undamaged before beginning. Tools required (not included): drill, level, measuring tape, screwdriver, silicone sealant.

Safety Precautions:

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
  • Handle glass panels with extreme care to prevent breakage and injury.
  • Ensure the installation surface (wall and floor) is structurally sound and level.
  • Do not overtighten screws, as this may damage components.

Installation Steps:

  1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list. Check for any damage.
  2. Prepare the Area: Clean the installation area thoroughly. Mark the desired position of the wall profile on the bathroom wall, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a level.
  3. Mount Wall Profile: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Secure the aluminum wall profile to the wall using appropriate fasteners. The profile is adjustable by 0.8 inches (2 cm) in width to accommodate minor variations.
  4. Insert Glass Panels: Carefully slide the ESG glass panels into the mounted wall profile. The shower wall includes three glass pieces: two clear sections and one middle section with a stone design.
  5. Install Supporting Bar: Attach the chrome round flexible supporting bar from the top of the shower wall to the adjacent wall. This bar is adjustable from 27.6 inches to 47.2 inches (70 cm to 120 cm) to provide stability. Ensure it is level and securely fastened.
  6. Secure Glass: Use the provided safety corners and seals to secure the glass panels within the frame and ensure a splash-proof seal.
  7. Seal Edges: Apply a high-quality silicone sealant along the base and vertical edges where the shower wall meets the floor and wall to prevent water leakage. Allow adequate drying time as per sealant manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Final Check: Verify that the shower wall is stable, plumb, and securely installed.

Operation and Daily Use

The vidaXL Walk-in Shower Wall is designed for stationary use as a shower partition. No moving parts are involved in its daily operation.

Usage Guidelines:

  • Ensure proper ventilation in the bathroom during and after showering to prevent excessive moisture buildup.
  • Avoid leaning heavily on the glass panels or frame. While made of safety ESG glass, excessive force can cause damage.
  • Do not hang items from the supporting bar or frame, as this may compromise stability.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower wall. The product is designed for easy maintenance.

Cleaning Instructions:

  • Glass Panels: To remove water stains and soap scum, simply wipe the glass panels with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner or a solution of water and white vinegar. For best results, wipe down the glass after each use.
  • Frame and Hardware: Clean the aluminum frame and chrome hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the finish.
  • Seals: Periodically check the silicone seals for any signs of wear, mold, or mildew. Clean with a suitable bathroom cleaner. If seals show significant degradation, they may need to be replaced to maintain splash-proof integrity.

General Maintenance:

  • Regularly inspect all fasteners and connections to ensure they remain tight. Gently tighten any loose screws.
  • Check the stability of the supporting bar periodically.
