Hi. Hope someone more knowledgeable than me can help. I am about to install a Merlyn Series 10 shower (sliding doors fitted in a tiled recess) and the instructions state that the inside of the vertical wall profiles need to be silicone sealed against the wall tiles (after the tray has been silicone sealed to the tiles all around the recess and left to dry). So this is fine, but what happens at the join at the bottom of the profile where the new vertical silicone meets the horizontal existing dry silicone around the tray? It’s my understanding that new silicone won’t bond well to existing dry silicone and if this is true then surely there will be a weak water ingress point at the bottom of the profile where the vertical and horizontal silicone meet? The instructions also state for the outside of the profiles to be silicone sealed at the bottom (going up only 50mm). Any help / clarification on this would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
