How to reverse Estilo shower screen?

Hi, We have a Estilo 900 x 1830mm Chrome Semi Frameless Shower Screen. It says it's reversible but doesn't really say how.

There's a very brief mention at the bottom of the last page (attached), which seems to be just telling us to use different profile covers.

 

Does it come apart to be reconfigured to reverse it, or do we simply turn the whole thing upside down? 

 

My only concern with turning it upside down is the sticker on the glass with arrows pointing up, by maybe that's just to say hold it vertically when carrying/standing/packing, not horizontal.

I've included the front page, parts list and last page of the manual. The sales page says it's model no. EST0125

Thanks!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @flutes. It's tremendous to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Estilo shower screens.

To reverse the installation, the door panel is just installed on the left-hand side, so you get the door on the other side, as per my image below. For a left-hand door, you need to install the top corner connector pieces as shown. Installation is much the same; you just switch the panels around. They don't need to be turned upside down.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for replying @MitchellMc ! :smile: 

There doesn't seem to be a way to disassemble or switch the panels around.

What their images don't show is that the door overlaps the narrow glass panel. It can only swing one way. So even I could switch the panels, the door would then have to open into the shower itself.

I really can't see a way to do it besides turning it upside down. 

Does that make sense?

Re: How to reverse Estilo shower screen?

I'm so sorry, @flutes. I didn't see the overlap, as it's not shown in the instructions. You're entirely right. The frame and door need to be flipped upside down to install on the left, with the overlap within the shower recess and the door opening outwards.

 

The panels are quite heavy and can shatter easily, so ensure you have a helper and that you're both wearing cut-resistant gloves, safety eyewear, long-sleeved shirts, trousers, and enclosed shoes.
