7. Install the First Wall Panel
Corner Joint
(optional)
NOTE: Use silicone adhesive if the wall panels are being installed over tile. For all other applications, use the adhesive
type specified in the instructions included with the shower walls.
Apply adhesive to the back wall panel in a circular pattern. The beads of adhesive should be 5" (127 mm) to 7" (178
mm) apart.
Apply a bead of adhesive along the top edge of the wall panel 3/4" (19 mm) from the edge.
Move the wall panel into place at a slight angle with the corner joint, if installed, fully pressed into the corner.
Push the panel against the rough wall. Press firmly and evenly across the entire wall. The panel should contact the
rough wall completely.
TIP: To remove excess adhesive, spray denatured alcohol on the area to be cleaned and onto your finger. The denatured
alcohol will help make the removal of the adhesive easier.
Remove excess adhesive with your finger.
NOTE: Bracing may be needed to hold the wall panel in place depending on the rough wall material and adhesive being
used.
When installed over tile, use a temporary brace to secure each wall panel in place for 48 hours to allow full adhesion.
