Here we are going to show you
how to install a shower enclosure with a door and wall.
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.
In this solution, we decided to keep the door
on the left side and the wall on the right.
Before you start, make sure all parts are included
as listed in the assembly instructions.
After unboxing the doors and the aluminum profiles,
start the installation by measuring the positions
of the profiles from the corner of your bathroom.
For the glass shower wall, measure 860 millimetres (33.8")
from the corner of your bathroom wall.
And for the shower door, measure 870 millimetres (34.3").
Next, you need to drill four holes in each aluminum profile.
Place the profile against the wall
and mark the positions of the holes.
160 (6.3") to 200 millimetres (7.8")
and 700 (27.5") to 740 millimetres (29.1") from the top.
And use the same measurements for the bottom.
The goal is to choose the location of the holes
not too close to the edge of the tiles.
Drill the holes in the profiles
with a five millimetre (13/64") drill bit.
The bigger profile is for the door
and the slimmer one is for the wall.
Position the glass door profile,
which is the slimmer profile, on the wall
with the marks lining up with the outside face.
Use a spirit level to ensure that it's vertical.
Mock out the holes on the wall.
If you're using the wall plugs provided,
drill six millimetre (1/4") 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 silicon.
Fit the plugs.
And fill the plugs with silicon.
Repeat with the door profile.
Add silicon to the wall and fit each profile.
Attach them to the wall
with the screws that come as part of the package.
These are suitable for use in bathrooms.
Now it's time to prepare the shower wall
and door for installation.
These are made from aluminum
and six millimetre (15/64") thick tempered safety glass
that is durable and impact resistant.
Protect the floor in order to avoid damage to it
or to the shower door and wall.
Measure and cut the bottom seal of the shower wall
so that it is 10 millimetres (25/64") shorter
than the length of the bottom of the glass.
Fit the magnetic seals to both the door
and wall so that they are level with the bottom of the glass
Measure, cut, and fit the bottom seal for the shower door,
ensuring that the correct end of the seal is cut.
The lip should be on the inside of the shower area.
It's now time to install the shower wall.
Place the wall into the wall profile.
Do the same thing with the door.
Make sure that they are aligned.
You do this by checking that the top
of the glass on both is at the same level,
and that the two magnetic seals are aligned
and fully in contact with each other.
Measure where to fix the shower door and wall screen.
Make sure the fixings match the profiles
on the inside of the shower enclosure.
Make sure that you are not drilling
too close to the glass profile.
Add silicon to the plastic caps and cover the screws.
Fit the handles onto the door.
Make sure the door is in a closed position.
Then adjust the bottom hinge
by tightening the two screws in the hinge base.
Now mark, remove, and cut the magnetic seals
to the right length.
Then refit them.
Fit the bracing bar to the shower wall.
It can be mounted from the wall or the ceiling.
In this case, we mount the bracing bar from the wall.
First you measure the distance between the glass shower wall
and the opposite bathroom wall.
This measurement can vary depending on your wall.
In this case, we get 84 centimetres (33").
After measuring the rod to 84 centimetres (33"),
we need to take away four centimetres (1.5")
from the total measurement of the rod.
In this case, 80 centimetres (31.5").
Cut the bar.
Assemble the fitting for the rod
according to the assembly instruction.
And then mount the rod to the glass wall and wall.
Make sure the rod is level all the way across.
And then mark where you're drilling.
If you're using the wall plugs provided,
drill six millimetre (15/64") holes into the wall
using a suitable drill bit.
Screw in the rod holder.
Once this is complete, insert the rod
and attach it to the shower wall.
Ensure the door is in closed position
and make sure the magnetic seals
are lined up before tightening.
Use the allen key provided to tighten the screws,
which secure stability of the shower wall.
Finally, add the end cap.
Place the floor trim in the door opening.
To do this, you need to line up the small notch
in the hinge end with the base screw.
Leave approximately one millimetre (3/64") gap
between the ends and the wall profile.
With the aluminum profile parallel to the front edge
of the tray, fit the end cap.
Leave approximately one millimetre (3/64") gap between the cap
and the wall base seal.
Apply silicon to all parts of floor trim
and wipe any excess silicon.
The reason for installing the floor trim
is to stop excess water from escaping from the shower.
Finally, apply silicon around the outside
of the enclosure in order to seal it.
Do not seal the inside of the enclosure.
You need to wait 24 hours before opening the door
and using your new IKEA shower enclosure.
In some countries, additional steps may be required
in order to meet local building regulations.
Check whether this applies to you.
