Installation & Assembly
4. Carefully position the corner panel and firmly press the
surface of the corner panel against the walls. Apply hand
pressure up and down and side-to-side, making sure
all areas are in firm contact with the wall. It is
important to apply hand pressure to the entire
surface of the panel to bond it to the wall surface.
5. Except for corner shower wall kits, repeat Step 1 through
Step 4 to install the remaining corner panel.
Note: Make sure the top edge of both corner panels are at the
same height, measured from the top of the bathtub or shower
floor ledge.
Side Panels
Most side panels are designed to fit a certain way. Check for
identification tags on the back of panels and/or bullnose edges,
which align with the front edge of the bathtub, shower floor, or
apron strips, if installed.
1. Measure the openings for faucet(s), bathtub spout, and/
or shower head. Measure the height up from the ledge
of the bathtub or shower floor ledge. Measure in from a
straight line drawn up from the front edge of the bathtub,
shower floor, or apron strip (trial fit apron strips when
taking measurements).
2. Use the measurements to make a cardboard template in
order to check for proper fit around the plumbing outlets.
Trial fit the cardboard template, and adjust as necessary.
3. Transfer the template measurements to the side panel to
be installed over the plumbing outlets.
WARNING
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swan Corporation product, use
a dust collection method which prevents dust particles
from going into the air. Always work in a well-ventilated
area. To keep the area well-ventilated, open windows and
use exhaust fans. Always use an OSHA approved dust
mask when cutting, drilling, or sanding Swan Corporation
products.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Any cutout should have rounded corners (sharp corners can
promote stress cracks).
4. Cut clearance holes using a router, saber saw, or hole
saw. Drill or cut holes 1/2 inch larger than the diameter of
the plumbing outlets from the finished side of the panel.
For best results, place a scrap of wood beneath the hole
to ensure a clean cut.
5. Trial fit the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
