Installation Guide

Install Instructions

1. Installation of Inside Corner Reinforcements (J)

A. Flashing Tape Corner Reinforcements go behind the

panels in the back vertical corners for added leak protection.

This tape has been cut to length, matching the height of the

panels of your kit.

B. Apply a generous bead of adhesive onto both walls

about 3/4 inch away from the corner. Fold the ashing tape

at the center crease with the print side together, then press

the tape into the corner using a taping or putty type blade.

Using the same blade, atten out the tape to create a at,

smooth inside corner. Wipe away any excess adhesive.

2. Installation of Back Wall Panels (A)

A. The back panel must be t to both the left and right

corners, and to the tub or shower base. Keep in mind that

walls may not be square or plumb, so you will want to

measure width of the alcove at both the bottom and top of

the alcove prior to trimming panel. (See TIP on right for a

technique for achieving good fit measurements.) Trim the

panel to size with a utility knife, jigsaw, or power plane

and dry t until a tight t is achieved.

TIP: Draw a vertical plumb line directly on the middle of the sheet-

rock from top to bottom of wall. Now draw a horizontal level line

crossing the plumb line about halfway up the wall. Record mea-

surements left from the vertical line to corner at top, middle and

bottom (L1, L2, L3), then right from the vertical line to corner (R1,

R2, R3.) Now record measurements down from the horizontal line

to the tub (D1, D2, D3.) Transfer these measurements to your back

wall panel (A). These 9 measurements will account for out of plumb

walls AND out of level tubs!

B. When satised with the t, peel protective masking back

from the edges of the panel (approx. 4") and clean burs from

any rough edges. Generously apply Performance Pro Adhesive

in lines or blobs to the back of the panel in a pattern every 3

to 4 inches. Use approximately one 10oz tube per 8 square

feet following adhesive directions on tube. Push the panel in

place, lightly pounding to achieve good bond.

NOTE: It is not necessary to cut the top edges of panels to be level, as

they will be covered by trim moldings.
