Caution: The French Silk Screen on our FSS Panels is a baked on, ceramic, matte
black framing. This framing needs to be on the exterior of your shower enclosure once
installed. The interior of the glass panel is coated with protective ENDURO SHIELD®,
which will facilitate care and cleaning of your shower panel. This ENDURO SHIELD®
coated side of your glass panel should face the interior/water side of your enclosure.
Caution: The most fragile parts of tempered glass panels are the corners. Therefore,
it is critical you have the rubber blocks in place so the glass never touches the tile
surface you are installing onto. Please make sure the glass is always on cardboard
packaging or rubber blocks while out of the packaging prior/during install. Rubber
block is provided in your hardware pack however you can use wood, cardboard or
other rubber products to protect against breakage.
Attention installer: A light haze or smudging may be present on the coated glass
panels upon delivery. This is easily removed with denatured or isopropyl alcohol and
a good quality microfiber cloth, followed by a rinse of water. This can be done before
or after installation.
