Tools required:
Electric drill, masonry bit, punch.
Typical installation:
The typical shower wall surround may be a 2x4 wood stud frame, covered with gypsum drywall, tile board or
plaster. The shower wall finish is usually ceramic tile. These materials alone are not adequate to support the
fold down seat unless you can mount into existing wood blocking or wall studs. You can use a 1/8th-inch
masonry bit, drill through the tile grout to determine if studs are in place.
Strong wall support is required:
Installation of the wall mounted folding shower seat requires wood blocking in a typical stud wall. We
suggest installing continuous 2 x 12 wood blocking between the studs, starting from the floor plate up to at
least 24 inches above the shower floor. Remodeling an existing shower can be more involved. If the shower
backs up to an interior wall, consider removing the wallboard and installing the blocking from the backside. If
not, it may be required to remove and replace a portion of the existing shower wall tile.
Anchoring hardware requirements:
Once the wood blocking is in place and the wall finish has been installed, Position the shower seat at the
required height, normally 17-19 inches above the floor. Use a marker to mark the flange and wall bracket
screw locations. Use a punch and hammer to carefully nick the tile to prevent the drill bit from wondering.
Use a masonry bit and drill through the tile. All anchoring hardware must be carefully selected to insure
proper installation.
OUR SHOWER SEATS ARE ONLY AS STRONG AS THE MOUNTING HARDWARE CHOSEN AND THE WALLS ON
WHICH THEY ARE MOUNTED.
