1. The FlexStone wall system is designed to be installed over a solid substrate such as green board,
cement board, or other water resistant backers. Substrate should be clean, dry, and free of dust or
loose paint. Unless using our Remodel Trim Kit, any existing surround material should be removed.
2. The Remodel Trim Kit (sold separately) allows FlexStone to be used over existing tile. Tile should
be in good shape, and wall surfaces should be at (i.e. remove any accessories that would interfere
with the FlexStone panels.) The 4 pieces of 96" length would replace Items C, D, E, F, and G. Follow
instructions included with Remodel Trim Kit.
3. If installing a new bathtub or shower base prior to FlexStone installation, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and install the tub or base level and square to walls.
4. Turn o the water supply and complete any plumbing modications prior to installing your FlexStone
surround. Leave plumbing handles o until surround is installed. Plan the placement of the shower
head such that it is either above the height of the wall panels or at least 2" below the top of the wall
panels. This will keep the trim moldings from interfering with the pipe and escutcheon plate.
5. Review Section 6 and decide how the vertical trim moldings will be installed, either outside the
shower base, or on top of the base threshold. This will impact the width of the side wall panels in
Section 3.
