PANEL INSTALLATION:
1. Apply a 1/4" bead of silicone to each side of
corner(s). Place corner pieces into corners and
secure with props and/or braces and/or hot melt
glue. Shim corner pieces 1/16" to 1/8" up from tub
or shower base. Let dry. See Figs. 4 & 5.
2. Dry-fit the back panel to the back wall, centering the
panel between the two corner pieces. You should have
the same gap between the corner and the panel on
both sides. See Fig. 6.
Remember to shim the panel up from fixture. With
the panel in place, trace a line across the top edge to
serve as a guide for alignment and silicone application.
Repeat this process for remaining wall(s).
3. GLUING PANELS TO WALL:
Bond one panel at a time. Apply silicone onto the
premarked wall to within 1/2" of the pencil lines.
Apply a 1/4" bead of silicone sealant 3/8" from edge
of the backside of the panel. Install the back panel and
secure in place with props and/or braces and/or hot
melt glue. Wipe excess sealant with a damp cloth.
Repeat this procedure until all panels are installed.
See Fig. 6.
