Installation Procedure
7.
Cut clearance holes using a router, saber saw, or hole
saw. Drill or cut from the finished side of the panel. For
best results, when drilling, place a scrap of wood beneath
the hole to ensure a clean cut.
8.
Dry fit the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
Side Panel (without shower controls)
If the panel does not require cutting to size, proceed to the
next section.
1.
Place the panel on top of the shower base and slide it
against the back wall panel.
2.
Scribe (mark) the panel, as shown. If the panel is wider
than the wall, take this width into consideration when
scribing the panel.
Note: Precisely scribing and cutting the panel will provide a
clean 90 degree corner with no need for corner molding.
3.
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 wall panel.
WARNING
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the wall 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 government health and safety agency
approved dust mask when cutting, drilling, or sanding wall
products.
4.
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).
5.
Dry fit the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
