5.3 Step-by-Step Installation
- Mark Wall Profile Position: Place the wall profile against the wall at the desired installation height, ensuring it is level. Mark the drilling points with a pencil.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material, drill holes at the marked positions. Insert wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Secure Wall Profile: Attach the wall profile to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly secured and level.
- Attach Pivot Mechanism: The pivot mechanism is integrated into the wall profile and the glass panel. Carefully align the glass panel with the wall profile's pivot points.
- Mount Glass Panel: With assistance, carefully lift and insert the glass panel into the pivot mechanism on the wall profile. Ensure it is seated correctly and pivots smoothly.
- Install Bottom Seal: Slide the clear bottom seal onto the lower edge of the glass panel. Trim any excess length with a utility knife to fit the bathtub edge.
- Install Towel Bar: Attach the towel bar to the designated holes on the glass panel using the provided hardware.
- Apply Silicone Sealant: Apply a continuous bead of mildew-resistant silicone sealant along the exterior joint where the wall profile meets the wall and along the bottom edge of the wall profile where it meets the bathtub. Allow the sealant to cure completely (typically 24 hours) before using the shower.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower door.
- Glass Cleaning: For daily cleaning, wipe the glass with a soft cloth or squeegee after each use to prevent water spots. For deeper cleaning, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid cleaners containing harsh chemicals, abrasives, or scouring pads, as these can damage the glass surface or protective coatings.
- Frame Cleaning: Clean the matte black aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots or discoloration. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Seal Maintenance: Periodically inspect the bottom seal for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain water tightness. Clean seals with mild soap and water.
- Hardware Check: Occasionally check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
8. Troubleshooting
- Water Leakage:
- Check the bottom seal for proper installation and condition. Replace if worn or damaged.
- Inspect silicone sealant along the wall profile and bathtub edge. Reapply if gaps or cracks are present.
- Door Not Closing Properly:
- Ensure the wall profile is level and securely fastened.
- Check the pivot mechanism for any obstructions or damage.
- Squeaking Noise During Operation:
- Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points if necessary. Avoid oil-based lubricants.
