INSTALLING BACK AND SIDE WALLS

NOTE – INSTALL ONLY ONE WALL AT A TIME AND REMOVE FILM FROM WALLS
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
A) Wipe all back side of panels and walls with a damp cloth to remove any dust or
debris and allow to fully dry.
B) Apply adhesive in a zig-zag pattern on the wall within marked lines, keeping bead
thickness to 1/8" (3mm) or less. See Illustration 7.
NOTE: Applying beads of adhesive thicker than 1/8" (3mm) may make it difficult
to spread behind the panel once it is up and installed creating a ripple
effect on the panel.
C) Move rear panel onto the wall keeping a space of approximately 1/8" (3mm) off of the
surface of the tub deck or shower base and keeping panel between the marked
lines previously drawn. Press panel firmly over entire surface to ensure firm
contact of panel to adhesive on wall. See Illustration 8.
NOTE: It may be necessary to brace or support the panel against the wall until
the panel stays securely in place. Place a cloth under the supports to
prevent marring of the walls surface.
D) Install side panels in the same manner using the same adhesive pattern. Wipe off
any excessive adhesive with mineral spirits.

panel (see Illustration 10) and place into rear corner of shower (See Illustration 11). Press firmly to hold in place.

corner panel in position until the adhesive

any marring of the walls finished surface.

to apply pressure to the panel to ensure it makes
complete contact.
