Installation Sheet

4. Insert small blocks between the front-to-rear panel braces
and the back panel braces. These will apply pressure to
the back panel to hold it in place.
5. Remove the braces after 24 hours.
Corner Molding (if applicable)
Installing the corner molding is optional. If the panels were
scribed and cut to create a tight-fitting corner, then the corner
molding can be eliminated. If, however, there are gaps
between the front/rear panel, the corner molding should be
installed. Either option, if done properly, is acceptable.
If the optional soap dish was installed, cut one piece of molding
to fit above the soap dish and one for below the soap dish.
Note: Either clear or color matched silicone can be used to
install corner molding strips.
1. Measure and cut the corner moldings to length.

WARNING
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and solvents used
by the installer can be harmful if used in an
unventilated room. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
To keep the area well-ventilated, open windows and use
exhaust fans. If adequate ventilation is not achievable or
practical, use respiratory protective equipment.
3. Clean the surface of the panels and the back of the molding
with denatured alcohol or another non-oil based solvent.
Temporary Bracing
Install temporary bracing to hold the three panels in place until
the silicone holds the panels completely in place (typically 24
hours).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To ensure contact between the panels and walls until the
silicone sets, install temporary bracing after completing
installation. The bracing should be constructed from lengths of
2 x 4’s. Failure to brace in the manner described could keep
the panels from adhering, resulting in personal injury, as well
as water damage or other damage to floors, walls, or other
portions of your building or home.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
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.
If the horizontal braces are fastened to the vertical braces
using nails or screws, make sure the fasteners do not
penetrate the surface of the panel. Also, to prevent possible
damage to the walls, do not apply excessive pressure to the
braces.
Corner Installation:
For corner shower wall installation use the following illustrated
bracing design.
ATTENTION: Additional bracing may be required if the
wall panel does not make full contact to the
wall it is adhered to.

braces on panels that are 48” or less and three braces on
panels greater than 48” wide.
