A - Inspecting Wall Panels/Liners
Inspecting panels at this point will give you confidence that the wall panels are straight and square from the factory. When installing wall panels, you may need to
make adjustments to the panels to accommodate for unevenness of your existing walls. During the inspection process and/or dry-fitting process, if you have any
concerns about the alignment or fit of the wall panels, please call 1-800-454-2284 for customer service, and we will gladly assist you with your installation.
1. Find a large empty area to layout and inspect all panels.
2. Align all panels and liners to check for straightness. Make sure grout lines are straight and square
to each other.
3. Sistine Stone wall panels are made to be flexible. (Warning - Store on a flat area.) If wall panels
have been stored improperly or seemingly have become extensively bowed, they can be easily
flattened before installation (See troubleshooting section on last page for details).
B - Test Alignment by Dry-fitting Wall Panels/Liners
1. Place your first bottom panel into position. (diagram 11). Rest panel onto the pan
floor; use spacers between the floor and the panel to make the top of the panel level.
2. Place the second bottom panel into position, push the two panels together. Make sure the
grout lines are aligned, use spacers to make the top of the panel level. Inspect the spacing
between the wall panels and the side threshold plumb line.
3. Depending on your cement board alignment, some sanding of the wall panel edges may be
required for a tight fit.
4. Place liners in position check for level and length.
5. Place RT liner into position. (diagram 12)
6. Place LT liner into position. Depending on your faucet selection, you may need to mark
and cut out holes for your faucet to fit through before you can place the panel into position.
Remember “measure twice, cut once”, you can cut our walls with most cutting tools.
(See installation video at www.americanbathfactory.com). Now you can check for level, grout
line alignment and spacing between walls and plumb line.
