CODE INTERIORS Two Panel Bath Screen Installation Guide

Introduction

Important
This 2 panel bath screen is designed to be installed in either a RH fixed or LH fixed position. The images used in this document depict a LH fixed installation. If you are installing this bath screen in a RH fixed position, all aspects of the installation are identical, but are a reflection of the images shown.

Shower glass installation must be performed by a qualified shower glass installer.

Pillar Screen – If you are installing the Pillar Screen, please note this panel is not reversible. Please discuss this with your shower installer. Left hand shower applications only.

Part List

• Shower glass installation must be performed by a qualified shower glass installer.
• WARNING – The glass panels of this product are made from high quality safety glass.
• The nature of safety glass means that it is highly impact resistant on its FACE (flat side).
• However, it is sensitive to impact on its EDGES. Take all possible steps to ensure the edges of the glass panels are protected from impact during installation.
• Safety – Please take all possible steps to ensure that the correct Personal Protection Equipment is used and that care is taken during the installation of this product.

Installing the Bottom Channel

1. Position the bottom channel 5mm inside the outer edge bath. If the bath has an upstand, position the receiver 5mm inside of this upstand. Note: Silicone should be allowed 24hrs to cure before fitting the glass.
2. Apply silicone to the bottom underside of the channel. Ensure bath surface is well cleaned before silicone is applied.
3. Attach the bottom channel to the bathtub surface.

• Step 1: Place the wall channel flush and vertically on the bottom channel. Mark the position of the channel on the wall.
  Note: Ensure the back corner and end gets filled with silicone.
• Step 2: Position the wall channel to the mark, and use a level to ensure it is vertically plumb.
• Step 3: With the channel in position, mark the fixing hole position on the wall.
  Silicone or hot glue sometimes can be used instead of screws. Talk to your installer about these options.
• Step 4: Secure the channel to the wall.
  Note: Silicone the back of channels and all holes.

Note: Packers must be installed before glass install.

1. Install the fixed glass panel. Apply silicone as required to seal and secure the glass panel into the channel. The wall channel provides a degree of inner adjustment for walls which are not vertically plumb. Packers must be used to ensure glass is level and is not in contact with the channel.
2. Install the top and bottom decorative covers.

Installing the Swing Panel (Part 1)

• Step 1: Working from the inside of the bath screen, install the hinges onto the fixed glass panel. The hinges are supplied with clear gaskets. These not only seal the hinge to the glass, but act as a packer to allow for optimum hinge operation.
  It is recommended to fit 2 gaskets between the hinge and the glass on the outside and on the inside.
• Step 2: Gently tighten the fixing onto the panel. Insert the end cap to the bottom channel.
• Step 3 & 4: To protect the outside edges of the glass, we recommend installing the vertical seal strip onto the fixed glass panel and the bottom drip seal onto the swing panel prior to installing the swing panel.

Installing the Swing Panel (Part 2)

• Step 5: Insert the fixing screws into the swing panel and tighten by hand.
• Step 6: Once the swing panel is positioned correctly, gently tighten the fixing screws.
• Step 7: Apply a small dot of silicone to the screw head and install caps onto screws.

Installing Channel Seals

Step 1: Apply a vertical bead of silicone to the outside of the wall channel. Continue this bead horizontally along the bottom edge of the channel only.
Carefully trowel this bead to finish. Allow 24 hours to cure before showering.

Care and Maintenance

Shower glass panels are a stylish and practical addition to any bathroom. Proper care and regular maintenance will ensure they remain clean and looking like new for years to come. This guide provides all the necessary steps for cleaning and long-term maintenance.

Daily Maintenance Tips

• Use a soft-blade squeegee to wipe down the glass after each shower. This prevents water spots, soap scum and mineral deposits from forming.
• Focus on corners and edges where buildup is most common.

Recommended Cleaning Routine
Recommended cleaning products:

• Mild dish soap diluted in warm water
• White vinegar and water solution (50/50 mix)
• Commercial glass cleaner (non-ammonia based)

Avoid:

• Abrasive scrubbers or sponges
• Products containing ammonia, bleach or harsh acids
• Steel wool or other metal tools
• Spray & leave cleaners

Cleaning Procedure

1. Spray the glass with your chosen cleaner
2. Let this sit for 1-2 minutes
3. Wipe with a microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water
5. Dry with a soft, lint free towel or squeegee.

Removing Stubborn Stains

Soap Scum

• Use a paste of baking soda and water applied with a soft cloth.
• Rub gently in circular motion and rinse well.

Hard Water Deposits

• Apply undiluted white vinegar to affected areas using a spray bottle.
• Let this sit for 5-10 minutes before wiping and rinsing.

Mold and Mildew

• Use a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water.
• Spray directly onto moldy areas, let this sit for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Caring for Hardware and Seals

• Metal Frames and Hinges: Wipe with a damp cloth regularly to prevent corrosion. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
• Rubber Seals and Gaskets: Clean using mild soap and water. Check for wear or mold regularly and replace as needed.

Ensure that your glass is ‘safety glass’
Safety glass is specifically engineered to resist significantly greater force than standard glass, making it much harder to break and reducing the risk of injury. In New Zealand, the use of safety glass is a legal requirement for all shower enclosures, and it must comply with the AS/NZS 2208:1996 standard.

To ensure that your glass is a safety glass, each panel must be marked with:

• The name, registered trademark, or code of the manufacturer or supplier.
• The type of safety glazing material (for example, T for toughened glass)
• The Standard to which the material has been tested, such as AS/NZS 2208
• The Classification for Impact Test Behaviour (for example, A for Grade A)
