Installation & Assembly

11. Repeat Step 6 through Step 9 to install the remaining

corner-side panel.

Note: Make sure the top edge of both corner side panels are

at the same height measured from the tub ledge.

Back Panel

Trial fit the back panel, and make any necessary

adjustments.

WARNING

Fumes Hazard

The fumes from the silicone sealant and solvents used by the

installer can be harmful if used in an unventilated room.

Always work in a well-ventilated area. To keep the area well-

ventilated, open windows and use exhaust fans. If adequate

ventilation is not achievable or practical, use respiratory

protective equipment.

2. Clean the back of the panel with denatured alcohol.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Do not use oil-based cleaners, such as mineral spirits, to

clean the panels. The oil in the cleaner will prevent the panel

from properly adhering to the wall.

3. Apply the silicone sealant in 1-1/4 inch diameter dots

every 8 to 10 inches over the back surface of the panel.

Follow the silicone manufacturer’s instructions and note all

ventilation and installation precautions.

4. Install the back panel, overlapping the corner side panels.

Carefully line up any faux grout lines. Press the back

panel firmly to the wall. Use even hand pressure from top

to bottom and side-to-side to ensure solid wall contact.

Note: Any gaps between the bottom of the panels and tub

ledge will be filled in with caulking in a later step.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Refer to the Temporary Bracing section for information on

bracing to hold the panels in place until the silicone sealant is

completely set (usually 24 hours). This will allow proper

curing of the silicone.

5. Install the temporary bracing to hold the wall panels in

place until the silicone sealant cures.

6. After the temporary bracing is removed, refer to the

Caulking section for information on applying color match

silicone sealant to joints and seams.

Temporary Bracing

Install the temporary bracing to hold the wall panels in place

until the silicone sealant is completely set (usually 24 hours).

This will allow proper curing of the silicone.
