STEP 2: INSTALLING REAR WALL PANELS
1) Starting with the bottom rear panel, dry fit bottom to top
with the exposed Lap Joint facing you. Keep a 1/8" (3mm)
gap above shower base. (Illustration 2)
Hold rear panel in place and mark a horizontal line across
top edge of rear panel. Trim rear panels if needed to fit
within alcove area.
Trimming Panels:
a) Measure shower enclosure.
b) Apply masking tape to approximate cut area on the tile
finished side to prevent chipping and protect surface.
c) Transfer measurement to panel.
d) Using a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade, cut along line on
finished tile side. Ensure a new blade is used.
NOTE: Install one panel at a time.
2) Wipe all panels and walls with a damp cloth to remove any
dust or debris and allow to fully dry.
3) Starting with the bottom rear back panel first, apply 1/4"
(6mm) bead of adhesive on the substrate in evenly spaced
vertical strips every 6" (152mm) for each panel top to
bottom. (Illustration 3)
Apply one row of adhesive horizontally to the top and
bottom edges of the substrate. (Illustration 3) Also apply
waterproof construction adhesive to the Lap Joint of both
bottom and top panels. (Illustration 2)
Wipe off excess adhesive with a water dampened rag.
4) Move bottom rear panel onto the wall keeping a space of
approximately 1/8" (3mm) off the surface of the shower
base. Press panel firmly over entire surface to ensure firm
contact of panel to adhesive on wall.
5) Place top rear panel in place on rear wall as in steps above.
TIP: Suction cups will aid in the handling and
installation of the shower wall panels.
