4. Construct the Apron

NOTE: Kohler recommends this procedure to construct the apron. Other methods can be used to obtain an
acceptable result.
Cut four 3/4" plywood boards to 6" (15.2 cm) x 34-1/4" (87 cm). Measure and cut a 55° taper at one
end of each board, and a 75° taper at the other end. Both ends must taper to the same side.
Draw a pencil mark 3" (7.6 cm) from the long side of one of the boards at the 75° taper end. Draw a
second mark 5" (12.7 cm) from the long side, as shown above.
Use a pencil, string and nail to carefully draw a 51-1/4" (130.2 cm) radius (for 1/2" (1.3 cm) thick
finished wall) across the full length of the board at the 3" (7.6 cm) pencil mark. For different finished
wall thickness, adjust this radius accordingly. Draw a 49-1/4" (125.1 cm) radius across the 5" (12.7
cm) pencil mark.
Use a saber saw to cut the plywood along the radius lines.
Use this board as a template to mark and cut the other three plywood boards.
Cut four 3/4" plywood boards to 2" (5.1 cm) x 6" (15.2 cm), with a 50° taper on one end.
Cut twelve 2x2 studs 9" (22.9 cm) long.
Assemble the apron frame sections as shown.
Position the apron frame sections under the footbath rim so the 75° tapered ends of the curved
sections touch. Align the apron frame sections so they are recessed correctly for the finished apron
wall thickness. Make sure the sections are plumb.
Secure the apron frame sections to the floor.
