SHOWER SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
DO NOT CLEAN SISTINE STONE WITH PAINT THINNER, ACETONE, LACQUER THINNER, M.E.K. or other chemicals
that attack the structural integrity of Resin Based Stone. Use of these chemicals will destroy the surface of the stone and void your warranty.
Soapy water, ammonia based cleaners or cleaners like “Formula 409 Natural Stone Cleaner” will remove most dirt and residue from all types
of finishes. For stubborn stains you may use a non-abrasive Scotchbrite pad. “Lightly” scrub the stained area in a circular motion to avoid
discoloration. The stone is naturally waterproof and will not absorb spills or soil, simply wipe away with a damp sponge. Periodic cleaning with
a sponge and warm, soapy water will remove any build up of dust or grime.
CARE & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SHOWER SYSTEM
Correcting Bowed Wall Panels Sistine Stone Wall Panels are made to be flexible and may have a slight bow. This condition is normal
and the panels will flatten when properly installed. If the panels have been stored improperly or have become excessively bowed, follow
instructions below.
Using a heat gun or propane torch, heat the backside of the panel in the most bowed area. Hold the torch a few inches away and move the
torch back and forth over the area. After the panel becomes malleable, lay panel on a flat surface and apply weight until cool and flat.
(wall thresholds work well, refer to Installation Guide Packing List).
