I would have thought however to silicone just the internal side and
not the external side of the screen as that would prevent any water
getting under the glass screen.

Am I missing something?

I think the idea is that while either will work, it saves having a
bead of silicone in the shower where its harder to keep clean, and
more likely to be degraded by repeated cleaning etc.


AndÂ* instead leaves a gap under the screen that is impossible to clean
and just perfect for growing mould

Most of the screen instructions specify that the frame should be bedded
on a bead of sealant. So there will be no gap under. They are just
talking about omitting a fillet of it between wall and frame on the inside.
