Sealing the Shower

We recommend that you seal the shower
internally with a good quality bathroom sealant
to provide an extra level of water proofi ng.

After allowing the sealant to set (as per the
sealant directions), water test the shower and
check for signs of water leaking, please attend to
them as required.

All sealant should be placed on the inside of the

shower with a good quality 'Anti-Moulding'

Sealant

PLEASE NOTE:

The shower is made up of solid parts (glass,

metal, Acrylic) Any leaks found during testing

will be down to incorrect sealing - you should

spend a good amount of time water testing the

shower before 'signing it off' with the customer
