I have a Lakes Offset Shower Enclosure.
I have installed the shower tray base, tanked the walls, tiled the walls down to the tray and siliconed the tiles where they meet the tray.
I am now looking to secure the enclosure channel / bracket to the wall. This is probably a stupid question but I shall ask it nevertheless.
Do I put the channel / bracket down fully on to the tray and fix it to the wall or slightly raise the bottom of the bracket (a couple of mm) off the tray? I ask this because it would mean the bracket would have to be pushed slightly into the silicone. I'm not sure how to explain this easily but because the silicone is filling the gap where the tray meets the tiles it means that there is not a 90 degree angle for the bottom of the bracket to fit into. I am concerned that the bracket would damage the seal the silicone is making if it were sitting on the bottom of the tray.
I have attached a very basic drawing to explain what I mean.
Thanks in advance,
Daz
