Despite the many different models, installing a screen in the bathroom does not require any special knowledge. It is easy to install, so this work, without difficulty, you can perform on your own.
For a visual study of the whole process, you can see the photos and video of the installation of the sliding screen for the bathroom.
Step-by-step instruction
1. At the initial stage, it is necessary to prepare all the tools and details of the design.
To install the screen you will need:
- silicone sealant and gun for it;
- bolts and dowels;
- measuring tape;
- construction pencil;
- level;
- drill, screwdriver;
- painting tape.
And, accordingly, the screen itself.
2. The first step in installing the screen with your own hands is to secure the wall profile. In most models of glass bath screens, there is a rail that supports the entire structure. It must be removed from the side profile.
3. The next step is to mount the rails on the wall. For this, using the level, you need to adjust its vertical position and mark the place of installation on the wall with a pencil.
4. In the penciled areas, drill holes. In most bathrooms, the walls around the bathroom are tiled. Therefore, before drilling, on the marked areas it is necessary to paste the paint tape. It will protect the tiles from chips and cracks.
5. Next, you can start drilling. For this, it is better to use a special tile drill. For a strong fixation of the profile it is desirable to drill more than two holes for fastening.
6. Insert the dowels into the drilled holes.
Then, on the rear wall of the profile, using a gun, a layer of silicone sealant is applied.
Next, the profile must be leaned against the wall and fastened with screws.
7. After installing the profile, the glass of the sliding bath screen should be secured. First of all, it is necessary to insert the glass in the profile, screwed to the wall.
Then, you need to tighten the side fixing screws. However, finally block the glass is not worth it.
8. The remaining backlash is required to fine-tune the gap, between the glass and the bathroom, which is necessary for installing the gasket( it comes with the bus).She puts on the bottom edge of the glass and serves as a sealant, which does not allow moisture to penetrate into the gap between the bathroom and the screen.
9. Then you can fix the glass screen for the bathroom, finally tightening the screws.
After this, special insulating covers are installed on the screws.
10. Between the wall and the profile fixed on it, in any case, there will be small gaps. Therefore, to ensure tightness, it is necessary to use silicone sealant. To do this, take a gun and fill the joint with a layer of silicone between the wall and the profile along the entire length.
Silicone sealant will harden for about a day, so during this time the bath is not recommended.
