Temporary Bracing
Install the temporary bracing to hold the wall panels in
place until the silicone adhesive is completely set
(usually 24 hours). This will allow proper curing of the
silicone.
To ensure contact between the panels and walls until the
silicone adhesive sets, install the temporary bracing after
completing installation. The bracing should be
constructed from 1 x 2 inch, 1 x 3 inch, and 2 x 2 inch
lumber. Cut the boards to length so that the braces
wedge against the wall panels and/or each other when
installed. Failure to brace in the manner described could
keep the panels from properly adhering, resulting in
personal injury, as well as water damage or other damage
to floors, walls, or other portions of your building or home.
1. Place two or more braces against the back wall.
Place two braces on the panels that are 48 inches
or less and three or four braces on the panels used
on back walls greater than 48 inches wide.
To prevent scratches or other damage, make sure there
are no nails or other foreign objects in the surface of the
bracing that is placed against the panel. Also, to prevent
possible damage to the walls, do not apply excessive
pressure to the braces. Do not hammer (pound) braces
in place or nail the braces together.
2. Place two braces against each left and right wall.
3. Install (wedge) horizontal braces against the left and
right wall braces.
