Q: How do I measure for front access shower doors and screens to fit in an Alcove? 

A:  Take a wall to wall measurement at floor level and again at the height of the top of the doors. The measurements should be the same but some walls are out of plumb. Give us the average measurement as your overall opening width. The wall brackets each side have a built in allowance to compensate for out of plumb walls of 10-15mm each side. So an overall opening width of 1200mm would actually fit the range of 1170 to 1230mm.

Please ensure you are measuring against a finished wall, if the walls are yet to have tiles or wall panels added it is best to wait until this work is completed before measuring.

Q: How do I measure for Corner Access shower doors and screens?

A:  Take a measurement each side from the wall to the centre of the flat area around the perimeter of the tray. The wall brackets each side have a built in allowance to compensate for out of plumb walls of 10-15mm each side. 

Please ensure you are measuring against a finished wall, if the walls are yet to have tiles or wall panels added it is best to wait until this work is completed before measuring.

Q:  Is there an allowance for adjustment / compensation in the doors?

A:   Yes the wall brackets have 10-15mm adjustment each way. The doors are made to the size you give but will adjust slightly. For example an alcove set of wall to wall doors made at 1200mm will adjust to 1170-1230mm. A corner set of doors will adjust 10-15 mm either way for each side, so a 1200x1000 set could be adjusted to 1185-1215 x 985-1015mm

Q:  What are the doors made of?

A:  The door frames are aluminium and the glazing is PET (super tough plastic). This combination allows the doors to be very strong but lighter and easier for the user to move. The frames are available in white or satin silver. The plastic glazing has a patterned effect to it as per shown image. Clear glass is also available at an additional cost, contact us if you would like a quote.

Q:  How quickly are the doors made and is there a delivery charge?

A:  The shower doors and screens are available on a very quick lead time. Orders received before 12 noon on any business day are made that same day for collected by the shipping company later that afternoon. They are sent out for next business day delivery. More details are available on the 'Delivery Details' tab on the product page. Delivery to mainland UK is free. We can offer Ireland, please check costs with us before ordering.

Q: What height are the doors?

A:  You can specify a height anywhere between 700mm and 1000mm. This does not affect the cost. Most orders we receive request a height of 750mm. If the configuration you want has a fixed panel this will normally be made to the same height as the doors. However, you can specify a different height for the fixed panel up to 1850mm. There may be an additional charge for this, contact us for confirmation if this is needed.

Q:  How do the doors open?

A:   Single doors will swing in or out off the hinge from the wall bracket. Bifold doors have a 360° hinge that allows the doors to fold in or our of the shower area. Where a single door closes against a fixed panel, the door will normally swing either in or out, it will be restricted by the magnetic strip fasten to the fixed panel.  You can specify whether you want it to open inwards out outwards at point of order. As standard the doors will be made to open outwards unless you specify otherwise.
