Installation Guide

Note: The ideal installation results when the outside
surface of the wall board and shower floor flange are
flush, as shown in the illustration below. This dimension
allows the Swan wall panels or alternate shower wall
material, to rest against the lip of the shower floor once
the moisture-resistant wall board is installed, as shown
in the second illustration below.
6. Place a layer of mortar/thinset on the floor. This will
ensure complete contact and support by the existing
floor surface, eliminating shower floor ramp flex
during normal use. Taper the mortar/thinset toward
the front (thin) edge of the shower ramp. Do not
place the mortar/thinset material close to the front
edge of the shower ramp.
Note: The barrier-free shower floor ramp can be
installed on the same floor surface as the shower floor
or can be installed on raised floor surface (up to 1/2”
thick), as shown below.
