E - Install Glass Door & Header
1. The glass panels and header pieces are secured with silicone.
2. Apply a 1/4” thick bead of silicone into the bottom of the glass channels in the pan and in the
wall thresholds.
3. Re-install the glass panel in the same way you did before. Do this for the other panel as well.
4. Refer back to all of the previous steps and diagrams to make sure the glass panels are in the
proper position. Apply a 1/4” thick bead of silicone into the channel of the header.
5. Apply a 1/4” thick bead into the channel of the header center piece.
6. Have someone help set door into position, don’t forget to install the washer onto hinge pin
7. Set header into position, don’t forget to install washer on hinge pin. Check alignment and
spacing.
8. Locate the wall threshold trim caps and install them using the same procedure for installing the
wall threshold trim pieces. (diagram 10)
9. Locate the header side pieces and apply a 1/4” bead of silicone to the top of the glass
channels. Place them into position and push them all the way down onto the glass panels.
Be sure to align them to the header center section. (diagram 11)
10. Allow the silicone to dry before continuing with the installation. Make sure the glass remains in
the proper position. Leave the door in the closed position and use braces to support the glass
until the silicone dries. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for silicone drying time.
F - 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 sweep (diagram 12) is what keeps the door closed. Adjust the
door seal until the required tension is achieved. 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. 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.
