NOTE
If installing a Corner
Shower Unit (DTF
Double Threshold or
NEO):
Select either wall for
initial panel installa-
tion. Measure out from
the wall which is per-
pendicular (right angle)
to the wall you select-
ed 3/16” onto the
shower floor threshold.
You will locate the
lower back corner of
the Swanstone panel
on this mark. This will
allow symmetrical
panel location as both
panels extend from the
corner along the wall
to the front edge of
the shower floor. There
must NEVER be more
than 3/16” gap
between the first panel
and the perpendicular
(right angle) wall. If a
gap greater than 3/16”
exists, it may be nec-
essary to shim the
panel slightly.
MULTIPLE PANEL
APPLICATION
FOR BACK WALL:
Measure the distance
along the back wall.
The width of the
panel will determine
the procedure to
use. If the back wall
is greater than the
overall width of the
panel, a second
panel, or possibly a
third, will be
required. When mul-
tiple panels are
installed, divide the
distance by two, or
three if a third panel
is required, and
transfer that mea-
surement to each of
the back panels.
Trim panels using
tools as directed in
step one. Repeat
steps two and three.

rial fit before you begin. Swanstone panels have a finished surface side
a
nd a non-finished backer side. Before trial fit, note which side of the
S
wanstone panel has a sticker or stickers attached. This will be the non-
f
inished backer side and, upon installation, should be placed against the
s
ub-wall.

EASURE BEFORE YOU START
The Swanstone wall panel system allows for variety of size applications.
One-, two-, or three-panel cartons may be combined for installing over
any shower floor situation.
NOTE
We recommend that professional installers be consulted on applications
for Swanstone panels not covered in these installations instructions.
1. IF TRIMMING IS
REQUIRED
Transfer measurements
of the back wall onto
the back wall panel.
Cut the panel from the
back side with a saber
saw. Sand the cut edge
with fine or medium
sandpaper.
2. BA
CK WALL
A
pply the pressure sen-
sitiv
e tape (see SS-29 or
SS-72 installation kit) 1”
fr
om each edge.
A
pply adhesive as
sho
wn above. Keep
adhesiv
e at least one
inch fr
om the tape.
3. Remove the backing
from the pressure sensi-
tive tape. Carefully,
place panel edge into
the corner (left or right)
and press firmly into
place. Use hand pres-
sure up and down, side-
to-side, to make firm
contact to the wall.
4. SIDE WALL
If wall or tub are out of
square, cut the bottom
edge of side panel(s) for
a level edge across the
top from the back
panel(s). Measure loca-
tion of the plumbing
outlets from the back
wall forward and from
the top tub ledge
upward. Transfer these
measurements to the
side panel.
6. Trial fit each panel
before proceeding. For
an attractive installa-
tion, it is important that
the top edges properly
align.
5. Cut holes 1/2” larger
than the diameter of the
pipes. Drill from the fin-
ished side of the panel.
For best results place a
scrap of wood beneath
the hole to be made.
This will ensure a clean
cut.
