Installation Guide

Back Panel
Note: Corner wall units do not have back panels. If
installing a corner shower wall unit, skip to the
Temporary Bracing section.
1. Trial fit the back panel, and make any necessary
adjustments.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone adhesive
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.
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 adhesive 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.
