Installation Instructions

This process is not recommended for the do-it-yourself
homeowner.
Using hot melt glue in place of bracing requires application
by a qualified installer. This temporary bonding method
must hold the panel to the wall during the 24 hour curing
time of the silicone sealant. The hot melt glue by itself is
not sufficient to bond the panel to the wall. Therefore,
improper or inadequate application of the hot melt glue may
result in insufficient bonding of the panel to the wall. Due
to the weight of the panel, failure to follow this
recommendation may allow it to detach itself from the wall,
causing possible injury to someone in or around the
shower enclosure.
Improper installation methods may also result in water
damage or other damage to floors, walls, or other portions
of your building or home.
Do not use a home applicator, craft-type hot melt glue gun.
Using this type of glue gun will NOT hold the panels in place
long enough for the silicone to bond properly to the wall.
3a. If using a 3-panel system (shown on the left), install back
panel (1) first. Then, install left-hand panel (2). Finally,
install right-hand panel (3).
3b. If using an overlap panel option (shown on the right),
install back panel (1), overlap panel (2), and then left-hand
(3) and right-hand (4) panels.
4. Firmly press the surface of each panel against the wall. It
is important to apply hand pressure to the entire surface of
the panel to bond it to the wall surface.
Note: Apply a thin bead of silicone to the edge of the large
panel before installing the overlap panel. This will help
prevent water from leaking through the seam.
