BEFORE YOU BEGIN....

Local building codes vary by location. Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Unpack your new shower walls and inspect them carefully for damage. Verify that the walls are the correct size for your installation.

NOTE: Take extra care in handling the front surfaces of the walls. Use only non-abrasive cloths to avoid scratching.

STEP 1: PREPARATION

Do not install directly to studs.

Passage Shower Walls must be installed over a solid, water resistant substrate such as greenboard.

If alcove opening is larger than rough-in opening (see Illustration 1) there will be a visible gap between

rear corners. Fir-out studding if necessary before installing substrate to provide correct alcove opening for

panels. Ensure alcove is plumb and square.

1) ROUGH PLUMBING & FITTINGS MUST

BE INSTALLED BEFORE WALLS

2) WALL SURFACE PREPARATION

Ensure wall surface is dry, smooth, and free of dust, soap

scum, mold or other contaminants. Wipe wall surfaces

with a damp cloth and allow to dry.

TIP: Priming wall substrate improves shower

wall adhesion. Wall surface must be dry before

panels can be applied.

NOTE: IF YOU PLAN TO INSTALL A SHOWER DOOR

Follow manufacturer’s instructions and prepare

stud wall accordingly.
