Installation Guide

7. After the temporary bracing is removed, refer to the
Caulking section for information on applying color match
silicone sealant to joints and seams.
Temporary Bracing
Install the temporary bracing to hold the wall panels in place
until the silicone sealant is completely set (usually 24 hours).
This will allow proper curing of the silicone.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To ensure contact between the panels and walls until the
silicone sealant sets, install the temporary bracing after
completing installation. The bracing should be constructed
from 1 x 2 inch, 1 x 3 inch, and 2 x 2 inch lumber. Cut the
boards to length so that the braces wedge against the wall
panels and/or each other when installed. Failure to brace in
the manner described could keep the panels from properly
adhering, resulting in personal injury, as well as water damage
or other damage to floors, walls, or other portions of your
building or home.
1. Place two or more braces against the back wall. Place
two braces on the panels that are 48 inches or less and
three or four braces on the panels used on back walls
greater than 48 inches wide.
Note: If a WTK-1 Window Trim Kit was installed, follow the
temporary bracing guidelines to position the bracing inside the
window opening to secure the sill and vertical panels in place
until the silicone sealant cures.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To prevent scratches or other damage, make sure there are
no nails or other foreign objects in the surface of the bracing
that is placed against the panel. Also, to prevent possible
damage to the walls, do not apply excessive pressure to the
braces. Do not hammer (pound) braces in place or nail the
braces together.
2. Place two braces against each left and right wall.
3. Install (wedge) horizontal braces against the left and right
wall braces.
