A technician demonstrates the installation of the Ella's Bubbles four-fold glass shower screen, covering unpacking, wall channel placement, gasket insertion, end cap and knob attachment, and final sealing.
The Ella's Bubbles four-fold glass shower screen installation begins with carefully unboxing and unwrapping the screen, recommending it be set on the floor bottom side up. The technician then measures and marks the wall channel position, drills holes, inserts anchors, and tightens screws, leaving a slight lag before hand-tightening the final turns to avoid over-torquing. Next, the gasket is placed into the bottom channel of the shower screen, with a recommendation to use silicone lubrication if needed, and excess material is noted for later trimming.
The video continues by showing how to remove a screw, place the end cap molding, and secure it using the same screw. The gasket is drawn through the end cap, and seal end caps are inserted on both sides to anchor the gasket. Excess gasket material is trimmed, and chrome knobs are placed onto the glass screen, ensuring rubber gaskets are in place and tightened firmly without over-torquing. The screen is then placed onto the channel to determine the proper height and level, which is critical for the correct function of the bottom gasket; if the door is too low, it will damage the gasket, and if too high, it will cause a leak. The gasket should brush the tub deck lightly and evenly, and the door can be adjusted within the wall channel to compensate for walls that are not square.
For the final steps, the technician marks and drills holes through the pre-drilled holes on the wall channel, then re-secures the door to the wall channel using screw snap cap bases. Decorative screw snap caps are attached, and hinge screw caps are snapped onto the top of the screen. A thin bead of silicone caulk is applied between the wall channel and the wall to prevent leaks, ensuring the horizontal gasket rests evenly on top of the tub deck for a proper seal.
