Read the following step-by-step installation procedures before you begin.
Shower Alcove Wall Installation
Set the back or corner panel into place so that it sets firmly down onto the back ledge of the shower floor. So that you may proceed
to the next step, it is a good idea to temporarily secure the back or corner panel with a bent nail over the flange.

1. Choose either the right or
left side panel, whichever
DOES NOT require plumbing.
Each side panel has three wall
mounting knobs which inter-
lock with the companion fac-
tory installed wall mounting
clip. The side panel must be
positioned so that the wall
mounting knobs slide into,
and interlock with, the wall
mounting clips. To accommo-
date this initial fit, raise the
side panel approximately one
to two inches above the back
or corner panel.
Final Fit
Anchor the side panels by drilling a 3/16" pilot hole through each vertical and horizontal flange on
both side panels. Drywall screws will secure side panels to the studs.
To achieve a tight fit along the back or corner wall, it may be necessary to shim between back or
corner wall and stud wall. Drill a 3/16" pilot hole through the horizontal flange on back or corner
wall. Secure back or corner panel with drywall screws.
Care and Cleaning
This product is made of Veritek, a Natural Gloss Composite. Finish is stain resistant; however, the fin-
ish requires reasonable care. Wash regularly with warm water; use soft cloth with mild liquid detergent
such as Top Job, Ajax Liquid Cleaner, or Mr. Clean All-Purpose Cleaner. Remove hard water stains or
mineral build-up with scale removers such as Lime-Away. Never use abrasive scouring powders, clean-
ers or pads. They will dull the finish. Protect finish with any fiberglass wax or automotive paste wax.

4. The lower outside edge of
the side panel must fit flush
against the top ledge of the
shower floor. The upper inside
fit of side panel to back or
corner wall must also be
flush. It may be necessary to
remove the nail which was
bent over the back or corner
wall flange for temporary
support.
Measure location of plumbing
outlets (valves and shower
arm) from a line straight up
from front edge of shower
floor. We suggest that you
make a template from the
cardboard to help position
your side panel over
plumbing outlets. Transfer
measurements to panel.
Use a drill and a hole-cutting
bit, or a hole saw to cut your
holes per manufacturer's rec-
ommendations. Drill or cut
from the finished side of
panel. For best results, place
a scrap of wood beneath hole
to be cut. Trial fit using the
same procedures as the other
side panel.
