Step By Step Guide To Install Glass Partition Wall In Bathroom
Here is the step-by-step guide to installing glass partition for the bathroom:
1. Planning And Measuring
The first step in the installation of glass partition walls is to identify the area where the partition should be installed. Once you have selected a specific area, measure the height and width of the area where the glass will be installed. Accurate measurements are essential in this regard, as they will determine the size of the glass panels for the partitions. Ensure to remember various bathroom fixtures, like tubs or shower bases, to prevent their interference in the installation process.Â
2. Prepare The Area
Clean the area and remove any bathroom supplies. Remove dirt, debris, and standing water and ensure it is clean and dry. Scout the area and determine where the U-channels or glass clamps will be installed. Once you have determined the location of these clamps, mark the area on the floor, wall, or ceiling with marking pencils.
3. Install The Glass Panels
Once you finish the marking, put silicone sealant into the U-clamps or on the edge of the glass where it will meet the clamps. Lift the glass up and carefully put it into the U-channels. Ensure the glass panels are secure and properly fit into the clamps. Tighten the glass clamps to seal the panels and put in any screws if the need arises. Don’t over-tighten the screws, or you run the risk of damaging the glass.Â
4. Seal The Edges
Apply silicone sealant to the glass edges where it meets the floor, ceiling, or walls. Make sure to create a good seal to prevent water leakage outside the area. Sealing also secures the glass in its place and prevents any dislodgement issues. Use your fingers to smoothen the sealant to give it a clean finish.
5. Allow The Sealant To Cure And Make Final Checks
Allow the silicone sealant to cure for a specific time (according to the manufacturer’s instructions). Usually, it takes 24-48 hours. Don’t use the bathroom during this process, as any water exposure can interfere with the sealant’s sealing ability.Â
Once the sealant has been cured, check the security of the glass door by applying small amounts of force a few times. Make sure that the movements are smooth and that the glass is properly aligned. Clean any smudges or fingerprints off the glass with a glass cleaner.Â
