Installation & Assembly

IMPORTANT NOTICE
To ensure contact between the panels and walls until the
silicone sealant sets, install the temporary bracing after
completing installation. The bracing should be constructed from
1 x 2 inch, 1 x 3 inch, and 2 x 2 inch lumber. Cut the boards to
length so that the braces wedge against the wall panels and/or
each other when installed. Failure to brace in the manner
described could keep the panels from properly adhering,
resulting in personal injury, as well as water damage or other
damage to floors, walls, or other portions of your building or
home.
1. Place two or more braces against the back wall. Place
two braces on the panels that are 48 inches or less and
three or four braces on the panels used on back walls
greater than 48 inches wide.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To prevent scratches or other damage, make sure there are
no nails or other foreign objects in the surface of the bracing
that is placed against the panel. Also, to prevent possible
damage to the walls, do not apply excessive pressure to the
braces. Do not hammer (pound) braces in place or nail the
braces together.
2. Place two braces against each left and right wall.
3. Install (wedge) horizontal braces against the left and right
wall braces.
4. Insert (wedge) blocks or cross braces between the front
to rear panel braces and the back panel braces. These
blocks or braces must apply pressure to the back panel to
hold it in place.
For corner shower wall installation use the illustrated bracing
design.
ATTENTION: Additional bracing may be required if the
Swanstone brand panel does not make full contact to the
wall it is adhered to.
