3. Install back panel (1) first. Then, install front panel
(2). Finally, install rear panels (3 & 4).
NOTE: When using an industrial grade hot melt glue
gun in place of bracing, apply the silicone as stated in
Step 2. Apply the hot melt glue to the panel, as needed,
and press the panel firmly into place. The hot melt glue
will hold the panel until the silicone bonds to the wall.
This process is not recommended for the do-it-yourself
homeowner.
Do not use a home applicator, craft-type hot melt glue
gun. Using this type of glue gun will NOT hold the panels
in place long enough for the silicone to bond properly to
the wall.
4. Firmly press the surface of each panel against the
wall. It is important to apply hand pressure to the
entire surface of the panel to bond it to the wall
surface.
Apron Strips
Apron strips provide a finished look to your installation.
The two small apron strips can be cut from the scrap of
the back panel. When cutting these apron strips, make
sure the finished edge of the panel is facing outward.
1. Measure the distance from the top of the shower
base to the outside of the panel.
2. Cut two pieces of the Swanstone material.
3. Hold the apron strips in place and scribe the angle
of the shower base onto each piece. Remember, do
not cut the finished edge.
