Conor Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 About to fit our 1400mm fixed shower screen. Going to sit directly on the tiled floor. As anything, not perfectly level or flat. The instructions reference and "optional" bottom seal https://www.drench.co.uk/p/crosswater-gallery-8-glass-bottom-seal Which of course the bathroom company didn't include in our order. Do I just set the glass panel directly on the tiles and silicone around? Or should run a bead of silicone under so the glas isn't directly on the tiles?

dpmiller Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 pack it up off the tiles a touch (toughened glass doesn't like point loads)either with glazing packers or the special clear packers that "disappear" into the sealant. If you use ordinary packers you can remove them and fill the voids once the main length has gone off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
