INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: IMPORTANT The shower base or bath must be in place before the shower walls can be installed. Make sure that these fixtures are installed correctly and are level. Please cover the fixtures with plastic or cardboard to prevent damage during installation. Allow 1/8" gap per width of panel for expansion. This applies especially to applications where both vertical sides are restricted, such as between end walls.
PAGE 3
PANEL INSTALLATION: 1. Apply a 1/4" bead of silicone to each side of corner(s). Place corner pieces into corners and secure with props and/or braces and/or hot melt glue. Shim corner pieces 1/16" to 1/8" up from tub or shower base. Let dry. See Figs. 4 & 5. 2. Dry-fit the back panel to the back wall, centering the panel between the two corner pieces. You should have the same gap between the corner and the panel on both sides. See Fig. 6.
PAGE 4
SPLIT BACK-PANEL INSTRUCTIONS (for Back walls that are 48" to 72" wide) These back-panels are split horizontally in the center of the grooves to hide the seams. The bottom panel should be installed first, and the top panel will "slide" over the tongue of the bottom panel to make a seamless appearance. 1. After corner pieces are set and dried, dry-fit the bottom panel to the back wall, centering the panel between the two corner pieces.
PAGE 5
FINISHING: After the adhesive is set, remove the shim and caulk the exposed seams with silicone sealant. Exposed seams must be caulked with a clear or matching silicone sealant. The freshened caulked lines can be smoothed and excess sealant removed by running a clean, damp cloth along the seams. Apply trim (if any) and accesories (soap dish, etc.) with clear or matching silicone sealants and prop into place until the sealant sets.
