Installation Guide

6. Cut clearance holes using a router, saber saw, or
hole saw. Drill or cut from the finished side of the
panel. For best results, when drilling, place a scrap
of wood beneath the hole to ensure a clean cut.
7. Dry fit the panel, and make any necessary
adjustments.
Right Side
If the panel does not require cutting to size, proceed to
the next section.
1. Place the panel on top of the shower base and slide
it against the back wall panel. Scribe (mark) the
panel, as shown. Cut away the excess material to
allow the panel to fit precisely against the back
panel. Scribing and cutting the panel will provide a
90 degree corner with no need for corner molding.
Cutting the side panel to precisely fit the wall is not
necessary if the corner molding supplied in most kits
is used. This corner molding will cover gaps up to
1/2”.
2. Place the panel, finished side facing up, on a flat
surface. Place pieces of masking tape over the area
where the saw contacts the Swanstone panel.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swanstone
product, use a dust collection method
which prevents dust particles from
going into the air. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
To keep the area well-ventilated, open windows and use
exhaust fans. Always use an OSHA approved dust mask
when cutting, drilling, or sanding Swanstone products.
Note: If the side panels have only one finished edge,
make sure that the finished edge is facing out.
