Hi all,
Just fitting a Kudos Inspire shower screen, although I guess this applies to any other shower screen too:
The installation instructions are very clear about running your bead of silicone round the entire edge of the bath before installation. OK, fine.
Then, when you install the wallpost it's shown touching the bath and the silicone seal has magically disappeared.
The problem with this of course is that it doesn't work in reality.
You would have the fit the wallpost in front of the silicone like this, which clearly doesn't work
Or like this, on top of the silicone, which also wouldn't work
The only ways to sort this would be to
1 - Trim/make a slot in the silicone in the position where the wallpost will sit
2 - Grind a corner off the wallpost to clear the silicone bead like this:
So, fellow DIYNOTers... what would you do/have you done in the past?
