The installation of shower doors and walls is carried out using chrome-plated aluminum parts or PVC plastic pieces. In general, this equipment comes in the form of an assembly kit. However, adding additional parts may be useful to strengthen the overall structure.
There are several types of shower door and wall fixings. In order to select the right product, it's necessary to consider certain information about the shower door or wall, including:
- its thickness, which can vary from 3 to 8 mm, to determine the dimensions of the grooving and the rubber seal to improve water tightness;
- its position in relation to the support wall to allow for proper sizing of the fixings.
Once this information is known, it's possible to strengthen the shower door and wall fixing in different ways:
- the stabilization bar helps keep the wall in a stable and straight position against the wall. Generally, it is included in the installation kit. In cases where it is necessary to shorten or lengthen the distance of the wall to the wall, it is recommended to use an extendable stabilization bar.
- the angle reinforcement bar helps maintain the shower wall from the angular side perpendicular to the wall;
- the ceiling support bar keeps the wall stable. It can be used as reinforcement if the wall is not capable of accommodating a stabilization bar. This is particularly the case when the wall has a window. It may also happen that the distance from the wall to the wall is too great to use an extendable stabilization bar;
- the compensation profile and the wall profile are used to compensate for the overall dimension of the shower door with that of the shower space.
Beyond reinforcements, it may be necessary to maintain the shower door or wall with different parts and accessories, including:
- rollers;
- sliding pads;
- handles;
- sealing strips;
- hinges and pivots;
- etc.
In short, installing a shower door or wall prevents water splashes from spreading all over the room. In addition to enclosing this space for more privacy, it brings more warmth and comfort.
