These pictures
offer a visual explanation as
to how our seals are installed.
Firstly, ensure the plumbing
is fit for purpose and the unit
securely fixed resting steady
on the floor.
Please review
the pictures and read the
complete installation instructions
before you
start the project!

1.
Measure and cut strips
to length. Mitre cut corners.
Square cut ends. 2.
Remove frays left by saw with
blade. 3/4.
Notch each mitre cut with
a snips or blade as shown.
5.
Notches form a square hole
through meeting strips.
6. Test strip
in position over ledge. If
required to lower the outer
edge onto the ledge, score
the strip as shown.
7.
Tear off the
removable leg if required.
8.
Locate strips in position.
Choose the most appropriate
screw size and fixing location.
Enlarge holes if required.
9.
Dry-fix strips.
10.
Dry fit the wall
corner trim. Notch flanges
so trim outer face rests
on strip panel support leg.
Remove strips and wall trim.
11.
Wipe ledges
with alcohol or methylated
spirits. With pencil and
small strip off-cut, lightly
mark where the outer edge
of each strip rests on the
ledge (4 points per side).
12.
Insert first strip (middle
strip if any) upside down
into 2 mitre boxes (or similar
support). Resting nozzle
in strip, lay a 400mm line
of Sealux-N inside the profile.
13.
Level Sealux-N across the
strip with spatula. Redistribute
or add as required. Repeat
process in 400mm steps until
complete. Ensure sealant is
buttered flush with ends of
strip. 14.
On the side to receive
this strip, using finger under
nozzle as support and fingertip
against wall as guide, lay
an 8mm line of Sealux-N on
the ledge inside the strip
outer edge pencil marks. 15.
Lay a 5mm
line of Sealux-N roughly 15mm
over ledge.
16.
Offer the first strip over
the joint fusing the Sealux-N
in the strip with the Sealux-N
on the ledge to form a watertight
seal as you rotate the strip
upstand into its final position
against the wall, 17.
Screw this
first strip to wall. 18.
Remove surplus sealant (if
any) off ledge with the
square corner edge of spatula
on end caps carD.
19/20.
Repeat the same procedure
for remaining strips. Butter
Sealux-N across corner joints
to ensure Sealux-N fuses across
meeting strips. Apply Sealux-N
into notches at corners as
shown. 21.
Fix first wall trim as instructed
by the supplier.
22.
Apply masking tape over strip
and
23 along bottom
face of panel but not surfaces
covered by corner or edge
trims. Prepare wall panels
and wall surfaces as per suppliers
instructions.
24.
Prior to hanging each panel,
lay a line of Sealux-N in
the strip channel between
the upstand and panel support
leg and to wall trims if specified
by the panel supplier. Hang
each panel in a similar fashion.
25.
After all panels are hung,
apply a line of Sealux-N into
the joint between the panel
and strip. Ensure the Sealux-N
is pressed firmly into the
joint. Rub up the joint removing
the surplus Sealux-N. 26.
Remove the
masking tape off the strip
and panel.
27. After
the Sealux-N has skinned (5mins)
give the silicone a final
light rub.
Carry out same procedure for
remaining strips and panels.
SHOWER
DOOR PROFILES If it is
intended to install a shower door
and the width of the shower door
wall profile is known prior to installing
the strip, the strip face crossing
the shower door wall profile should
be notched prior to strip installation.
If the width of the shower door
wall profile is not known prior
to installing the strip, the strip
should be retrospectively notched
to accommodate this shower door
wall profile.
Retrospectively notching the
strip can be carried out with
a hot sharp pointed blade. Ensure
shower door wall profile is bedded
in Sealux-N silicone where fixed
over the wall panel.
ENSURE THE SHOWER DOOR WALL PROFILE
IS BEDDED IN SEALUX SILICONE WHERE
IT CROSSES THE LINE OF PANSEAL STRIP.
