FLEXdoûr RV/Campervan Shower Door Installation and Fit Guide
The FLEXdoûr Shower Door offers a versatile and durable solution for RV and campervan showers, providing flexibility in both fit and installation.
This guide will take you through the steps to order and install the door to suit your shower space.
Step 1: Ordering the Correct Style based on your Shower Tray design and Size
1. Measure Your Shower Tray Width and Height:
• Measure the opening width from wall to wall and the height from the tray to where you want the door to extend (up to 185 cm). (height - you can reduce but you would need to cut multiple parts)
• Note that the door’s width can be reduced on each side, based on the parameter displayed on the size options available.
2. Confirm Compatibility with Space Constraints:
• The FLEXdoûr folds compactly, the measurement options are based on the external measurement of the frame.
• Ensure you have enough room around the door for this folding mechanism.
3. Choose Colour (Available in White):
• The FLEXdoûr is available in white with a millerighe texture for a clean, streamlined look.
4. Order the Door:
• Once measurements are confirmed, proceed with the purchase, knowing that further adjustments can be made to fit your specific opening.
Step 2: Adjusting the Door to Fit (If Necessary)
Tools Required:
• Measuring tape
• Saw (for trimming PVC rails)
• Screwdriver
• Safety gear (e.g., goggles, gloves)
Note: FLEXdoûr allows adjustments to width by cutting the sliding rails each side are possible.
1. Prepare the Rails:
• Trim each side of the PVC sliding rails as needed to fit your shower tray width. Measure carefully before cutting, as over-cutting cannot be reversed.
2. Adjust the Door Panels:
• If further reduction is required, you can remove one or two 140 mm of the pre-assembled PVC panels before installation.
Note that removing parts or cutting down height voids the warranty.
Step 3: Installing the FLEXdoûr
The FLEXdoûr comes pre-assembled, so installation is straightforward. You’ll only need to attach it to the walls and adjust for your desired opening direction.
1. Attach the Frame to the Wall:
• Determine the preferred door opening side (left or right), as the door is reversible.
• Use the provided stainless steel screws and plugs to fasten the frame securely to the wall.
2. Insert the Door:
• Place the door into the frame and ensure it operates smoothly. Adjust any misalignments by repositioning the frame as necessary.
• Double-check that the door folds and closes properly.
3. Final Adjustments:
• If the walls have slight deviations, adjust the door and frame to align evenly against both walls.
Step 4: Maintenance and Care
• Regular Cleaning: Clean with standard, non-abrasive cleaners to maintain the PVC and stainless steel components.
• Check for Moisture Buildup: While PVC is moisture-resistant, forced ventilation will further ensure durability.
• Lubricate Joints as Needed: Occasionally apply a mild lubricant to the sliding rails for smooth operation.
Tips for Successful Installation
• DIY Skills Required: This installation is DIY-friendly for those with moderate DIY skills, especially if further cutting and adjustment are needed.
• Avoid Cutting Top and Bottom (Unless Necessary): Modifying the top or bottom of the door may compromise its structural integrity and void the warranty.
• Ensure Compact Folding: Check that the door folds correctly to avoid obstruction in your compact RV/campervan space.
By following these steps, your FLEXdoûr shower door will be a durable, space-efficient addition to your RV or campervan, providing both privacy and ease of use in a high-moisture environment.
