PERMANENT INSTALLATION:
Place Center Panel against backwall,
resting bottom edge on bathtub rim.
Align center lines, using masking tape–
temporarily tape center panel in place.
Position drilled side panel over tub spout
and handle(s), be sure to align front edge
with front edge of bathtub, temporarily
tape in place. Temporarily tape remaining
side panel in place, align front edge of
side panel with front edge of bathtub.
Temporarily tape formed corner panels
in place. Check panel overlap (should not
exceed 1
3/4
) and trim flat panels if
necessary –
do not trim formed corner
panels. With all (5) panels in place draw
a light guide line along top and side
edges. These will be your reference lines
for permanently installing panels.
Remove panels from alcove. Caution: Do
not remove center line mark from center
panel.

INSTALLATION:
Measure bathtub alcove to find center
of backwall. Scribe a light grease pencil
line at this point (at least 59” above top
of bathtub). Remove any objects that
protrude into bathtub alcove area below
59” such as soap dishes or towel bars.
Measure and lightly mark the center of
the top edge of one of the flat panels–
this will become the center panel.
1.
Accurately measure tub spout and
handle(s) hole location on alcove side
wall and transfer dimensions to one of
the remaining flat panels. You may want
to make a template (use shipping car-
ton) to check hole layout before you cut
holes into side panel. After you have
double checked your measurements,
using the proper size drill or hole saw,
cut out holes for outlets.

Read instructions thoroughly before attempting installation. Package should be stored at room
temperature (68°F-min.) for at least 6 hours prior to installation. Turn off water supply to bathtub —
Remove existing control valve handle(s) cover plates and filler spout, if shower head is mounted less than
58” from top of bathtub — it must be removed.
NOTE: Center Panel must be installed first – this requires measuring the bathtub backwall to establish
the center, then positioning panel accordingly. Corner Panels overlap the center and side panels. Trial fit
all five panels before applying adhesive.
