Filler Boards
If an existing wall covering (i.e. tile) does not extend to a
height equal to the height of the panel, it will be
necessary to install a filler board to that height. The filler
board must equal the thickness of the existing wall
covering (tile). Usually 1/4 inch masonite, or similar
material, is adequate. If desired, the filler board can
extend from the top edge of the tile to the ceiling.
If installing an optional wall panel extension kit above
the wall panel kit, the filler board must extend from the
top of the existing wall covering (tile) to 24 inches above
the top edge of the installed tub wall kit panels, or to the
ceiling if less than 24 inches.
Failure to use a filler board to properly install the panels
could result in water damage or other damage to floors,
walls, or other portions of your building or home.

Note: If the Veritek wall panel kit is to be installed over
an existing wall surface, proceed to the next section.
