WARNINGFor personal safety when handling glass ALWAYS wear appropriate eye protection, full length clothing, gloves and steel-capped shoes.

IMPORTANT NOTICEIMPORTANT: The glass panels used for Highgrove frameless shower screens are made from Grade A Toughened Safety Glass that complies with the relevant Australian Standards. Although it is very tough, it can still be damaged and break if not handled correctly. Please read all instructions, prior to installation.

1) DO NOT rest or place the glass panels on hard surfaces like tiles, concrete, other glass panels or metal surfaces. Always cushion the edges with cardboard, soft timber or rubber mat.

2) DO NOT install the glass panels with just one person. The glass panels are heavy and you should have another person assist you to avoid injury.

3) DO NOT attempt to cut, drill or grind the glass panel. Toughened Safety Glass is not like ordinary glass.

Any such actions would cause the entire panel to shatter into thousands of tiny pieces. (This is not because of inferior quality but it is part of the design criteria specified by Australian Standard AS2208 to avoid large shards of glass in case of accidental breakage).

4) DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders to clean the glass panels or components.

5) DO NOT use any acidic or caustic Silicone or chemicals on any part of the shower screen assembly.

6) DO NOT impact or scratch the glass panels with any sharp metallic objects or tools.

7) DO NOT knock one glass panel against another glass panel. Take special care to avoid any impact during the installation as this may cause damage or result in breakage.

If you are unclear about any part of these instructions, please contact GALE Pacific.

Before handling glass panels ensure correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn; eye protection, full length clothing, gloves and steel-capped shoes.

If glass panels need to be rested on the ground during installation, ensure timber or rubber blocks are used to protect the edge of the glass panel on hard surfaces.

IMPORTANT — GLASS IS FRAGILE AND CAN SHATTER

2 PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR GLASS PANEL INSTALLATION TO AVOID GLASS DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY.

STEP 1On the base of the shower mark two HORIZONTAL centre lines (A) that will guide the installation and placement of your panels. For a fixed shower panel these lines will be the panel width (600mm, 875mm or 1175mm). For a door panel kit, the measurement will be 865mm to the internal side of the fixed panel.

Position a spirit level on the centre lines next to BOTH fixed shower walls and make a VERTICAL line to 2000mm (B).

This will be the top of your shower screen.

NOTE: A spirit level must be used to ensure vertical straightness.

STEP 2Along the VERTICAL centre lines created in STEP 1, mark the position of the WALL mounted brackets at 200mm and 1800mm from the floor.

Along the HORIZONTAL centre lines created in STEP 1, mark the position of the FLOOR mounted brackets at 50mm from the wall and 100mm from the end of Panel A.

Where an optional door kit is to be installed: Along the HORIZONTAL centre line created in STEP 1, mark the position of the FLOOR mounted brackets at 50mm and 200mm from the adjacent wall.

Mark the position of the screw holes to be drilled.

STEP 3Check for a gasket in the wall bracket. If there is a clear gasket, remove it.

Peel the paper from the back of the gasket (O) and insert it into the mounting brackets (G) to the side opposite the grub screw.

Using a 6mm diamond core drill bit, drill the marked holes (four holes) from Step 2 as follows: Floor holes 15mm, wall holes 25mm

As the waterproof membrane may be breached when drilling the mounting hole, we recommend that you put a small amount of silicone into the hole.

Insert plugs (K) into each hole and cut off any excess protruding from the wall or floor.

Fix the mounting brackets (G) to the walls and floor with the provided screws (L & M) and tighten so that the head of the screw does not protrude. Ensure the screw side of each bracket faces the inside of the shower.

Ensure grub screws have been loosened and do not protrude into the internal section of the bracket. Make sure the plastic cap is in place on the grub screw.

STEP 4Insert the 2mm gaskets (N) into the brackets to cover the screws and the metal surface.

Clean any marks you have made with your marker or pencil.

Cut the supplied clear rubber blocks to approximately 6mm and place in front of each floor mounted bracket to protect Panel A and Panel B edges from damage.

The blocks will be trimmed once the glass has been installed.

The glass panel must be permanently supported by rubber blocks and not rest on the metal mounting brackets.

If your floor is not flat, the glazing blocks can cut to different thicknesses and used to level the screen.

STEP 5Before handling glass panels ensure correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn; eye protection, full length clothing, gloves and steel-capped shoes.

If glass panels need to be rested on the ground during installation, ensure timber or rubber blocks are used to protect the edge of the glass panel on hard surfaces.

Ensuring you have Panel A up the correct way, with the Highgrove logo positioned at the bottom of the panel - remove the black corner protectors. Carefully lower the panel into the FLOOR brackets and onto the rubber blocks.

Once inserted into the floor brackets, you can now carefully slide Panel A into the WALL brackets.

Ensure Panel A is level. If not, adjust the size of the clear rubber blocks, they can be cut to the desired thickness. Do not exceed a 12mm gap between Panel A and the wall.

Once Panel A is level, HAND tighten using Allen key provided. If you are not installing a door kit, skip to step 7.




Always protect the corners and edges of the glass panels which are vulnerable to damage.

Ensure Panel B is level. If not, adjust the size of the clear rubber blocks. Do not exceed a 12mm gap between Panel B and the wall.

Before tightening all grub screws for Panel B, ensure the door opening is 606mm from the end of Panel A.

Once Panel B is level and 606mm from the end of Panel A, HAND tighten all grub screws.

STEP 7Using a suitable bathroom silicone with mould inhibitor, fill the joints between Panels A and B and the wall. Spray water over the sealed area before using an Highgrove silicone spatula to scrape off the excess.

Repeat this action until the excess silicone is cleared.

Repeat the step on both sides of the glass and allow the silicone to cure (refer to manufacturers specifications) before hanging the door.

If you are not installing a door kit, skip to step 10.

STEP 8DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HANG THE DOOR UNTIL SILICONE HAS FULLY CURED.

Attach the hinges to the recesses in Panel B ensuring the Allen head screws are facing the inside of the shower.

Ensure hinges are square and level on the glass panel, as per the below images.

STEP 9Always protect the corners and edges of the glass panels which are vulnerable to damage. Place two rubber blocks in the door opening to prevent damage and allow for proper door clearance.

Before handling glass panels ensure correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn.

SLOWLY lift Panel C (Door) into position on the rubber blocks, ensuring the door is facing the right way up.

Fix the Panel B hinges to Panel C, ensuring gaskets are fitted to EACH side of the glass when installing hinges.

Before tightening hinge screws, ensure there are even gaps between Panel B and Panel C, and Panel C and the edge of Panel A.

STEP 10Tighten the hinges and carefully remove the rubber blocks from under the door.

Cut the excess blocks away (installed in Step 4) from the bottom of Panel B and Panel A, ensuring you leave a rubber section directly under Panel B and Panel A for support.

Seal the bottom gap of Panel B and Panel A according to step 7.

Inspect hinges and mounting brackets regularly and adjust and tighten as necessary. Ensure silicone between joints is in good condition.

We recommend cleaning glass regularly with water and mild detergent using a microfibre cloth.
