G - Door Seal Installation
We have provided door seals for water sensitive areas such as wood floors. If glass panels and door
are installed correctly with the proper spacing, outside water spillage will be minimal and the side
seals won’t be necessary.
The door sweeps is what keeps the door closed.
Adjust the door seal
until the required tension is achieved. The door sweep has been cut to fit over the hindge. Cut off the
excess length oposite of hinge side.
If you would like to use these side seals, follow the steps below.
1. Locate the plastic H shaped seals. One goes on the glass panel on the door strike side
the other goes on the door on the hinge side. Measure and cut the seals to length.
2. Starting from the top, push the seal onto the glass, slowly working your way down
3. Place bulb seal (rounded seal) on the hinged side edge of stationary glass panel.
4. When you grout the rest of the shower, be sure to grout the extra hinge hole in the pan and the
extra hinge hole in the stone header. Also, grout between the glass and the pan, the glass and
the wall thresholds, and the glass and the stone header. As well as between the joints between
the stone header center section and side pieces.

GROUT
12
Your American Bath Factory shower has a non-porous surface, which makes it easy to clean. Grout used
must contain an ACRYLIC ADDITIVE to ensure proper bonding to the tiles. We suggest grouting in every
union join of shower components. Decorative lines in the shower walls and floors can be grouted if
preferred, but it is not necessary.
1. Recommended grout: We Recommend a water base Non-Sanded Tile Caulk Grout in a tube.
“Not silicone caulk.” If you desire to use powdered Non-Sanded Grout, make sure you use an
acrylic additive, to ensure adhesion.
2. Make sure you do not let the Grout completely dry onto the shower before removing and
cleaning Excess Grout. If Grout is allowed to dry onto the shower components, it may be
difficult if not impossible to remove without damaging the showers surface.
Note: Grout is not covered by ABF Warranty.
