    I'm removing my old shower tray and putting in a leak free enclosure, Is there anything special about the fitting I should do, or is it standard.

    The old tray was imbedded in cement, is this enclosure done the same.

    There is four screw holes on each end, are these for fixing to the wall or shower door?

    I'm wondering if they are a simple enough installation.

    Fix only one surface: Don't fix both the walls and floor together.

    If the floor is going to be embedded in concrete, then dont use any fixings to allow for movement in the walls.
    Otherwise the slightest movement between floor and wall will pull the unit apart. ditto between the 2 walls.

    Thanks, so I could fix to one wall and save myself dragging concert up the stairs.

    What would happen if I fixed both walls?
