Installation Guide

Any cutout for accessories should have rounded corners
(sharp corners can promote stress cracks).
8. Dry fit the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
Side Panel (without tub or shower controls)
If the panel does not require cutting to size, proceed to the
next section.
Note: On SSIT-60-3, subway tile, and square tile panels, the
side panels are marked with labels in the top, right-hand
or left-hand corner of the panel. The edge closest to
the label is the outside finished edge and should not be
cut.
1. Place the panel on top of the tub and slide it against the
back wall panel.
2. Scribe (mark) the panel, as shown. If the panel is wider
than the wall, take this width into consideration when
scribing the panel.
Note: Precisely scribing and cutting the panel will provide a
clean 90 degree corner with no need for corner
molding.
3. Place the wall 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.
4. Cut the panel using a circular saw with a 60-80 tooth
carbide blade or a saber saw with a bi-metal blade (14
teeth per inch).
5. Dry fit the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
