Installation Tips for Decorative Tile Strips Please see the below installation ideas for adding decorative or mosaic tile (marked A in drawings). Decorative tiles (not included) can be purchased by the customer and installed in between shower wall panels as a decorative accent strip or if the joint lines of panels do not meet customer’s expectations. The wall panels do not have rounded off edges, so it is suggested to add mosaic or decorative tile strip (optional).
Installation Guidelines Special care must be taken in handling these panels, especially in cold weather. The indented grout lines are of necessity a little thinner than other areas of the panels causing this type of panel to be more fragile than our typical cast marble panels. IMPORTANT: Panels are to be at room temperature (65 degrees or above) when being cut and during installation. If panels have been stored outside in cold weather, bring them inside 24 hours prior to installation so they can warm.
Installation Guidelines IMPORTANT: If grab bars are to be installed, blocking should be installed behind the substrate before attempting to install the grab bars on the panels. The holes for the grab bars should be predrilled in the same area of the blocking prior to installing the grab bars. Failure to do this will cause the grab bars to come loose and could cause breakage or cracking of the panels. This type of breakage is not covered by Ella's Bubbles warranty.

Installation Instructions for Shower Base Note: If you have purchased reversible shower base please attach/ glue the 4" fiberglass tile flanges with 100% silicone before the shower base installation. The shower panels will be installed over the tile flanges and siliconed to protect from leakages behind the base. ellasbubbles.
Installation Instructions for Trim Strips Important: Read these instruction before starting installation Trim strips, as a rule, are manufactured at 36" and 60". The installer should plan to trim each piece to fit the area in which it will be installed. If the shower panels do not extend to the ceiling, the trim should be cut so that the top of the trim is the same height as the panels it will be installed next to.
