Installation Guide

Left Side
Cutting the side panel to precisely fit the back wall is not
necessary if the corner molding supplied in most kits is
used. This corner molding will cover gaps up to 1/2”. If
the front panel does not require cutting to size, proceed
to Step 4.
1. Place the panel on top of the shower base and slide
it against the back wall panel. Scribe (mark) the
panel, as shown. Cut away the excess material to
allow the panel to fit precisely against the back
panel. Scribing and cutting the panel will provide a
90 degree corner with no need for corner molding.
2. Place the wall panel, finished side facing up, on a
flat surface. Place pieces of masking tape over the
area where the saw contacts the Swanstone panel.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swanstone
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 Swanstone products.
Note: If the side panels have only one finished edge,
make sure that the finished edge is facing out.
3. Cut the panel using a circular saw with a 60-80 tooth
carbide blade or a saber saw with a bi-metal blade
(14 teeth per inch).
4. Measure the openings for the shower faucet(s) and
shower head.
5. Transfer the measurements to the panel.
