Installation Guide

Wallboard Installation

If the installation of the wall panels is covering an

existing wall surface, proceed to the next section.

1. Cut out openings for the shower faucet(s) and

shower head. Install 1/2” moisture-resistant

cementboard or greenboard over back (1), front (2),

and rear (3) wall surfaces of the rough opening.

Install the wall board with a 1/2” gap above the shower

base side lip, the front edge of the shower base, and the

floor to prevent possible water (wicking affect) damage

to the wall.

2. Apply a coat of water or oil-based primer/sealer to

all the surfaces of the cementboard or greenboard

(follow the manufacturer’s instructions). Allow the

primer to dry thoroughly before applying any

silicone.

Back Panel

1. If the back wall measures less than the width of the

panel, the panel will need to be cut to fit the

opening. Use a piece of cardboard to create a

template for the front and rear walls Make sure the

cardboard is laying flat on top of the shower base

and up against the wall. Scribe (mark) the

cardboard template, as shown. This will ensure the

back panel fits the exact contour of the front or rear

walls. Cutting the back panel to precisely fit the wall

is not necessary if the corner molding supplied in

most kits is used. This corner molding will cover

gaps up to 1/2” on each side.
