Alcove Shower System Installation Guide for Liner Style & Accent Liner Style Showers
Congratulations on the purchase of your new shower system.
This guide will give you the instructions on the installation of your new shower.
Natural Travertine Stone Appearance
All of our stone products are custom made and hand-crafted to look and feel like authentic
travertine. As you may know, travertine is a form of limestone that has been under pressure for
thousands of years. The product of long-ago hot and cold springs and waterfalls, travertine is a
beautifully banded and colored stone with a unique character. Among its most appealing
characteristics are the interesting craters and depressions, created by streams of water that
flowed through the stone.We have taken great care in reproducing the appearance of genuine
travertine stone, giving you a beautiful and authentic shower.
Installation time may vary depending on your experience, complexity of shower,
and "Pre Installation Preparation Work" which may include: plumbing relocation,
drain location and bathroom demolition.
Prior to demolition, scheduling a contractor or building your shower, double check that you
have all the parts from the factory. Some applications may require a licensed plumber or
contractor. Do not use any product spec sheets to begin installation before receiving product.
These spec sheets are for reference only. Use actual product measurements only.
The diagrams throughout this guide illustrate a 36" x 36" shower. Depending on the size of the
shower purchased, actual parts may vary in size from the diagrams shown.
Our goal is to help you achieve a quick and successful shower installation.
