Plan ahead!
It is important to take the following into consideration while you are planning your bathroom renovation and before making a purchase:
- our shower screens weigh between 56 and 72lbs, depending on the model you choose. Consequently they need to be securely fixed to the wall and the wall itself needs to be sound.
- the weight of the frameless model is taken completely by the screws fixing the two discrete hinges to the wall, whereas the weight of the semi-frameless model is taken partly by the tub (because the bottom of the continuous hinge rests on the tub ledge) and partly by the screws fixing the mounting bracket to the wall.
It is recommended to find a good contractor who can assess your particular situation and take all necessary steps (e.g. wall preparation, fastener/anchor selection) appropriate to ensure a safe and sound installation.
