Tips
Here are some tips to help you install Choreograph
®
shower walls and accessories.
Walls
• After removing panels from the box, peel the protective sheet back to
inspect for any damage due to shipping, and then return the sheet to
the panel. Leave the protective edge covers (used in shipping on the
panels) in place until you have moved them to the final installation
location—this will help to protect them while on the job site.
• CAUTION: Risk of product damage. The walls should be at room
temperature before cutting. Allow the temperature to stabilize if the
walls were outside in a cold climate.
• KOHLER
®
walls can be trimmed on the job site to create custom
showers. Use of an abrasive masonry blade is recommended to deliver
the best cut. Do not use a blade with teeth. A router may be used to
cut the walls, but be warned that the router will dull quickly.
• CAUTION: Risk of injury. If the ceiling is to be covered with the wall
material, the ceiling must be installed prior to the walls. Allow sufficient
time for the ceiling installation to cure before installing the walls. This
will help avoid the risk of having the ceiling fall, causing injury.
• The existing rough walls must be within ⅜" (10 mm) of plumb.
Trim as needed.
• If the panels are being installed over existing tile, scuff the tile using
100 grit sandpaper to provide a better surface for adhesive contact.
• IMPORTANT: A great deal of dust will be generated when cutting the
panels. Cutting the wall panels should be performed outside or in a
well-ventilated area.
• Nonsolvent construction adhesives or 100% silicone are recommend
for installation. It is suggested to compare adhesive curing times as those
with quicker bond times can help make the installation process faster and
easier. Some suggested adhesives include:
100% silicone

Accessories
• If you are including KOHLER accessories in your custom shower, be sure
to plan for their location (including stud placement for KOHLER Shower
Locker
®
storage and blocking for KOHLER shower barre and floating
shower shelves) before you put up your drywall. Include the location in
your plans when you trim the panels on site.
General Care & Cleaning for the Choreograph Collection
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your
KOHLER product:
• Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before
applying to the entire surface.
• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after
applying cleaner.
• Do not allow cleaners to soak.
• Use a soft, damp sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material
such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or acidic solvents on the surface as
they may cause dullness or discoloration.
• Wipe with a soft cloth after each use to prevent a buildup of soap
and scum.
• For metal surfaces, never use cleaners containing abrasives, ammonia,
bleach, acids, waxes or solvents as they may damage the finish. Use only
a soft, damp sponge or cloth for cleaning.
Care Tip
Weekly cleaning using mild cleansers is recommended.
