Installation Guide

To prevent possible water (wicking affect) damage to the
wall, install the wall board with a 1/2 inch gap above the
bathtub or shower floor side lip, the front edge of the
bathtub or shower floor, and the room floor.
2. Apply a coat of water or oil-based primer/sealer to
all the surfaces of the CEMENT BOARD or
greenboard (follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
Allow the primer to dry thoroughly before applying
any silicone adhesive.
Veritek Wall Kits Installation
Before beginning, refer to the General Information
section for important information on how to prepare the
existing bathtub or shower walls for installation.
Some Veritek wall kits have a smooth finish while others
feature faux grout lines to give the appearance of tile.
This manual shows illustrations of wall kits with the tile
appearance. The installation process is the same for
smooth finish wall kits.
Swan Corporation Veritek wall kits feature several
distinct designs, depending on kit style and the size of
the bathtub or shower enclosure.
The wall kits are divided into different styles: those with
separate corner panels, those with corner side panels,
and wall extension kits. The different installation
procedures are covered in the following sections. Refer
to the Installation section that matches the Swan
Corporation product being installed.
Before starting the installation, refer to the General
Information section to verify the contents of the carton
are correct. Also, read, understand, and follow any
NOTES listed for your model wall kit.
DO NOT nail wall panels to sub-walls. This will damage
the wall panels, could result in water damage or other
damage to floors, walls, or other portions of your
building or home, and will void the warranty.
Wall panels with a bullnose (curved) edge should be
installed with the bullnose edge toward the front edge of
the bathtub or shower.
For a professional looking installation, align the top
edges of the adjacent panels and line up any faux grout
lines. If the bathtub or shower floor has settled or is out
of plumb, it may be necessary to file or sand the bottom
edge of the panels to achieve a good fit across the top.
Trial fit all panels before final installation.
Gaps between the bathtub or shower floor ledge and the
bottom edge of the wall panels will be caulked after the
temporary bracing is removed.
