Installation Guide

Installation of Last Plank In a Row
If you are using corner and/or L-trims for a Palisade shower kit installation,
the following information will show how to install the last, short plank at
the end of a row. Read and follow if your project looks like this.
The challenge is to place the remaining plank section into the edge trim
while also getting the interlocking plank edges locked together (image P).
First, install the inside corner trims
into each corner using adhesive.
Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to
cure. Make sure the corner trims
are oriented as in the image below.
Each inside corner trim piece has
a full and a partial channel. The
full channel will be against the
back wall.
The drawing below shows a top
cross-section view of facing
inside corners.
Next, determine the length of the
plank section. Measure from the
inside lip of the previously installed
plank to the inside edge of the
pre-installed trim. See image at
right for details. In this case, the
length to cut the nal plank in the
row is 5-7/8-inches (image Q).
After cutting plank to length, apply
adhesive to the substrate, as shown
(image R).

Insert the cut plank edge into the
L-trim while holding the interlocking
joint-edge away from its mating
plank. Insert the cut end into the
edge of trim channel while holding
other edge up (image S).
Push the plank into the edge trim
while laying the plank down toward
the substrate. When pushed into the
trim entirely, the interlocking edges
will be exposed (image T).
Apply sealant to the interlocking edges if this installation is for a wet
environment.
The plank can now be manually pulled into place. Pull the plank toward
the interlocking joint (image U). If necessary, rubber gloves can be used
to increase grip friction with the surface of the plank. Keep pulling until
the interlocking joint is tight and in place (image V).
Use a damp rag or paper towel to clean off any sealant or adhesive that
may have been squeezed onto the plank surface.
J-Trim are used to nish the terminal end of planks when not adjoined to
anything. To install, don’t dispense adhesive a few inches from the plank’s
edge where you intend to use the J-Trim. This will allow the trim to slide in
place. Dispense a bead of sealant into the receiving channel of the trim
and then press the trim into place.
Edge and Corner Trims
Inside Corner Trim should be attached with adhesive to the substrate.
Dispense a small bead of adhesive directly to the substrate corner or on
the trim itself. Also dispense a bead of sealant into each of the trim’s
channels to prevent water from reaching the substrate.
L-Trim are used to cover existing exposed planks to provide a nished
look. Install by dispensing a thin bead of sealant on the Palisade side and
a thin bead of adhesive on the substrate side. Press trim into place. If trim
will not stay in-place, use some masking or painter’s tape to hold until
adhesive sets.
When attaching accessories like coat hooks, mirrors or lighting xtures
that will carry a heavy load, drill a hole through plank and fasten to the
framing inside the wall. Use a stud nder to locate framing before drilling
through planks.
