CARE & CLEANING
The surface of your Molded Fiberglass Shower floor may be cleaned with a mild soap solution in warm water using a soft cloth.
For stubborn stains use “Soft Scrub” by Clorox or Lysol “Tub and Tile Cleaner” or a powdered detergent such as Spic-n-Span.
Never use an abrasive scouring powder or steel wool pads as they will dull the surface.

ROUGH-IN PREPARATION
IMPORTANT: “ROUGH-IN” dimensions are provided for reference only! Measure actual Shower Floor
and check local buiding code requirements before constructing alcove.
1. Refer to “ROUGH-IN” dimensions and determine location of Shower Floor.
2. Next, prepare SUB-FLOOR in Shower Floor area as follows:
W
ood/Joist Floor:
Sub-floor must be min. 3/4” construction grade sheathing (CDX). Make sure sub-floor is
securely fastened to floor joists throughout alcove area with either Decking/Bugle Head
screws (2-1/2” min.) or nails (rec. 8d Spiral Flooring Nails). Make sure any “creaking or
squeaks” have been eliminated by walking around alcove area before proceeding.
Concr
ete/Cement Slab Floor:
Prepare surface in alcove area so that floor is level and sound.
3. Provide a 6-1/2” (inch) square opening in sub-floor or slab to accommodate Shower Floor drain body.
(Slab installation requires opening to be min. 2-1/2” deep). Opening to be centered about drain centerlines
as specified in “ROUGH-IN” dimensions. Drain connection requires 2” (inch) DWV pipe. Top of drain pipe
should be 1/2” below top of sub-floor or slab.
4. Finally, we recommend that Shower Floor be installed on a bed of 30 lb. roofing felt or equivalent to compensate
for any inconsistencies in sub-floor or slab. (Gypsum cement or panel/floor adhesive could also be used for this purpose.)
