DRY FITTING THE TONGUE AND GROOVE PANELS ON THE WALL
1) Dry fit the panels starting with the rear most panels first. Keep a 1/8" (5mm) gap above the tub deck or shower base for all panels.
When connecting several panels together, panels use a tongue and groove system to connect to each other.
See Illustration 2.
NOTE: The use of suction cups will aid in the handling and installation of the shower wall panels.
2) Dry fit the 2 side panels next. On one side of the panel is a
finished or reveal edge that can be installed on the outside or
entrance edge of the shower to give a finished look not
requiring standard wall trim.
See Illustration 3.
If the wall or tub is out of square, trim or cut from bottom edge
of side panels so that the top edge of the panels are level with
the top edge of the back panels.
3) Once both side panels are properly dry fitted, mark all plumbing
locations where shower valves or shower heads come through
the side panel. Drill holes at each location using hole saws large
enough to accommodate the opening but small enough to be
covered by the trim plates, then apply sealant around trim plate.
Drill from the finished side.
See Illustration 4.

APPLYING ADHESIVE TO DRYWALL AND TONGUE AND GROOVE PANELS
NOTE: DO ONLY ONE WALL AT A TIME.
1) Wipe all back side of panels and walls with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris and
allow to fully dry.
2) Starting with the rear or back panels first, apply adhesive on the dry wall in 4 evenly spaced
vertical strips for each panel top to bottom.
See illustration 5.
Then apply one row of adhesive horizontally across the top and one near the bottom. Also
apply the adhesive directly to both tongue and groove of the panels.
