Gap between bracket and wetroom wall

[george121212]

Hi I have just installed a wetroom screen from a good supplier.

I noticed when installing the glass screen bracket against the wall there is a 1mm gap ( I haven't put the screw covers on yet.

This is due to the yellow Rawl plug provided having a slight ridge so therefore sitting slightly proud to the wall and making the gap.

I am conscious there could be water ingress behind this? but unsure if the pressure between the bracket and Rawl plug could also seal the hole?

The manufacturer has intentionally supplied these Rawl plugs. The instructions do not comment on siliconing the bracket.

Would be good on your thoughts whether to silicone around the brackets or leave. ?

Cut the shoulder off the yellow plug so it sits flush.
Applying silicone around the holes in the wall ,before fitting bracket and screws will prevent any chance of water getting past.

Is the plug tight in the hole and can you take the screw out a half way and then tap it into the hole another mill or 2 with a hammer, that would be the usual approach to sink the plug into the wall a little.

Thanks for the replies trimmed off flush and sealed behind the brackets.
Finish is nice and flush thanks
