400mm splash panel is going to attach to the wall but the base is just going to sit on the tiles (its a wet room)
Can this be done or do I need to sit it on some kind of base (silicone?)
Silicone around the outside similar to how you’d do a shower screen I’d imagine; any water that manages to get down the back doesn’t end up trapped behind silicone going manky then. Is there no instructions? There’s usually a diagram with the silicone sealing lines marked on it.
I wouldn’t sit glass directly on tiles. Even a small amount of movement between the two could cause major problems.
Is there not a bracket to screw in to the floor to stop the glass moving that will also raise it up off it?
What he said, done loads like this
cheers chaps, no bracket I'm afraid it just looks like it'll sit directly on the tiles.
Instructions seem a little vague when it comes to the details, I'll have a chat with the tech support people tomorrow.
I try and set mine up a couple of MM so that the silicone can go under slightly as well when you seal up. I think this makes a better job as usually with anything siliconed, it's better to be in a gap rather than smeared against a face.

This.
The screens often come with a few thin (2mm ish) spacers to achieve exactly that. Then remove and silicone once everything is fixed in place.
You can also snip clear tile spacers into straight sections, and then leave them in place when putting silicone in, as a bit of extra support. (Not that it’s needed if it’s fitted right)
