Here, we're going to show you how to install
a shower enclosure with two doors.
In some countries, you need to use a professional
in order to meet local plumbing and building regulations.
Please check whether this applies to you.
We recommend two people to install this combination.
Before you start, make sure all parts are included
as listed in the assembly instructions.
Start by unboxing the doors.
Next, you need to drill four holes in each profile.
Mark the profiles 160 (6.3") to 200 millimetres (7.9"),
and 700 to 740 millimetres from the top.
Then, the same distances from the bottom.
Mark the holes on the profile,
ensuring that they aren't too close
to the edge of any tiles.
Drill the holes in the profiles
with a five millimetre (13/64") drill bit.
Position the first profile on the wall
with the marks lining up with the outside face
at a distance of 870 millimetres (34")
from the corner of your bathroom.
Use a spirit level to ensure that it's vertical.
Mark out the holes on the wall.
If you're using the wall plugs provided,
drill six millimetre (15/64") holes into the wall
using a suitable drill bit.
A good tip here is to use the small bag
that comes with the screws to collect the drill dust.
Fill the holes with bathroom approved silicone.
Fit the plugs.
And fill the plugs with silicone.
Add silicone to the wall and place the first profile.
Then, attach it to the wall with the screws
that come as part of the package.
These are suitable for use in bathrooms.
Repeat with the second profile.
Protect the floor in order to avoid damage to it
or to the shower doors.
Fit the magnetic seals to both the doors
so that they are level with the bottom of the glass.
Measure, cut and fit the bottom seals for the shower doors
ensuring that the correct end of the seal is cut.
The lip should be on the inside of the shower area.
It is now time to install the doors.
These are made from aluminum
and six millimetres (15/64") thick tempered safety glass
that is durable and impact resistant.
Place the first door into the wall profile.
Do the same with the second door.
Make sure that they are aligned.
You do this by checking
that the top of the glass in the doors
is at the same level,
and that the magnetic seals are aligned
and fully in contact with each other.
Measure where to fix the shower doors.
Make sure the fixings match the profiles
on the inside of the shower enclosure.
Then, drill the holes with a three millimetre (1/8") drill bit
inside the shower area.
Be careful to not drill through to the other side
of the profile.
Fix the shower door using the provided screws.
Add silicone to the plastic caps and cover the screws.
Fit the handles onto the doors.
Now, mark, remove, and cut the magnetic seals
to the right length.
Then, refit them.
Finally, seal with silicone.
Do not seal the inside of the enclosure.
You need to wait 24 hours
before using your new IKEA shower cabinet.
In some countries, additional steps may be required
in order to meet local building regulations.
Check whether this applies to you.
