PREPARATION TIPS
Before beginning installation of product, make sure all
parts are present. Compare parts with package contents
list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to
assemble or install the product.
• Begin by measuring the overall width of the back wall
after it has been cleaned and prepared for installation.
• If the overall height of the back and/or side walls above
the bathtub or shower base is less than the height of the
panels, they can be easily cut to fit.
• Turn o the water supply.
• Remove all shower hardware and decorations, includ-
ing but not limited to: Faucet handles, escutcheons, filler
spouts, towel bars, and soap dishes.
• All plumbing and electrical work inside the walls must
be finished prior to installing the wall panels.
• Walls should be solid, plumb, and square within 1/8
inch of true. The Shower Wall System has been designed
to allow for trimming, to accommodate minor alignment
problems.
• The mounting surface should be cleaned and prepared,
according to the Installation Procedure.
• If you plan to install a recessed accessory, cut the panel
accordingly after it has been fully installed, and had the
proper time to adhere to the wall. Remember to be
considerate of wall studs when positioning the
accessory.

caulk.

a clean cloth. Use caution, and do not to disturb any of
the caulk joints.
