1. SHOWER BASE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) Installation (Note: Shower base shown in photos may vary from actual style of base being installed.) » Location of drain pipes and shower base drain must be made before the installation of shower base.

™ 2. STANDARD FIT SHOWER SYSTEM – PROVANTAGE INSTALLATION 2.1 After installation of the shower base, line base with paper or cardboard to protect during installation of glass blocks. Measure 21/2 inches in from the inside of the curb and draw a centerline the length of the curb. 2.2 On the side of the shower where you intend to install the glass blocks, use a 4-foot level to draw a plumb line on the wall starting at the centerline on the curb and extending 76 inches up the wall.
PAGE 4
™ 2. STANDARD FIT SHOWER SYSTEM – PROVANTAGE INSTALLATION (Continued) 2.5 Starting with a vertical spacer install the first course of glass blocks with vertical spacers between the blocks. Use a level to check the alignment of the course of glass blocks. Make certain the blocks are tight against the wall. 2.6 If the EndBlock™ Finishing Unit doesn’t fit firmly on the horizontal spacer trim the end of the horizontal spacer to fit behind the edge of the unit.
PAGE 5
2.9 Apply 4 dabs of sealant to the other side of the first vertical spacer. Next, apply a 1/4 inch bead of sealant to the first row of glass blocks behind the raised edge of the glass block faces on both sides of the blocks, circling the finishing unit. 2.10 Install first glass block on top of the horizontal spacer with the beads of sealant down, push the glass block firmly against the wall and the base.
PAGE 6
™ 2. STANDARD FIT SHOWER SYSTEM – PROVANTAGE INSTALLATION (Continued) 2.13 Repeat procedures for the center and end of first course. Be sure to slide the wedges between the horizontal spacers and the curb not between the glass block and the horizontal spacer. When the first course is level, apply a 1/4 inch bead of sealant to the top of the installed glass blocks behind the raised edge of the glass block faces on both sides of the blocks, circling the finishing unit. 2.

2.17 Line up the glass blocks and spacers for the ninth course: three 8 inch x 8 inch x 4 inch glass blocks, one ENCURVE® Finishing Unit, one 31 inch horizontal spacer with one end cut to fit the ENCURVE® Finishing Unit, three 71/2 inch vertical spacers, one 7 inch vertical spacer with one end cut to fit the ENCURVE® Finishing Unit, and one wall anchor with screws. Install the horizontal spacer and first three glass blocks (same procedures as before). 2.

3. FINISHING THE JOINTS Grout Application ProVantage™ Glass Block Surface Grout is a high performance white grouting compound designed for interior and exterior applications for use with glass blocks and the ProVantage™ Glass Block Installation System. IMPORTANT: The ProVantage™ Glass Block Surface Grout was designed and tested for this application – DO NOT SUBSTITUTE! Caution: Avoid contact with skin. Safety glasses and impervious gloves are recommended to minimize skin and eye contact.

3.4 Allow material to stand (“slake”) for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Re-mix without adding more water or powder. 3.5 Begin application of grout: Starting at the top of the glass block wall, apply grout to the joints of glass blocks by moving the rubber float diagonally on a 45° angle across the joints. This is the best application method to fill the joints with grout. Pack material into joints with float until full.
PAGE 10
3. FINISHING THE JOINTS (Continued) 3.8 Allow grout to firm up in the joints approximately 5 to 10 minutes, and begin cleaning process. Use a clean tile grout sponge and clean, cool water. Dampen sponge and wring out as much water as possible. Excessive water during cleanup will weaken grout. Work sponge diagonally to pick up excess grout on surface of blocks. Run sponge lightly through joints to ensure joints are even. 3.
