I have a similar enclosure (but square pivot door) which I'm attempting to put together now from Bathroom Mountain but those instructions.. 😮🤔👎 Glad I found this video! Thanks Craig.

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Thanks, yes they always need fine tuning!

[@sulpher212]

Wonderful guide thank you! My only question, what about the screws that are going through the frame and into the tiles? Does that not need any silicone? I understand no bead down the profile as it will let any condensation filter down the profile and back into the tray.

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Thanks! No, as it will be capped off it won't have any contact with any moisture so it should be fine! You could strike a line of silicone on the outside of it to cover any gaps if you wish with a clear waterproof sealant like Multi-Use or GP

[@janmcostar]

Thanks for the very good video! One question I have about the side panel… (11:45). It looks like it is not fixated by a frame, top nor bottom? If I understand correctly, it does has vertical frames on the side, but can’t is slide out of those, should someone accidentally lean on the sliding door? The screws in 20:12 surely don’t actually go through the glass to let the glass take that force do they?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Hi, so you just temporarily fix it to the wall, then after the glass goes in you tighten the frame to make it stronger. and at 20:12 there are already holes drilled through the glass so its just a case of putting the screw in and tightening it up from the other side Thanks mate!

[@janmcostar]

@@MrandMrsDIY ah ok, thanks! So those holes actually go all the way through the glass, not just through the frame the glass is in. I guess the shower enclosure came with those holes already pre-drilled right?

[@sashagaye1]

Hi, Did you install the tray before you tile?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Hi, yes I already had it in place. Do you need any help installing your tray?

[@pauljenkins4030]
