Installation Guide

5. Trial fit the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
WARNING

Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and solvents
used by the installer can be harmful if used in
an unventilated room. Always work in a well-
ventilated area. To keep the area well-ventilated, open
windows and use exhaust fans. If adequate ventilation is
not achievable or practical, use respiratory protective
equipment.
6. Clean the back of the panel with denatured alcohol.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Do not use oil-based cleaners, such as mineral spirits, to
clean the panels. The oil in the cleaner will prevent the panel
from properly adhering to the wall.
7. Apply the silicone in 1-1/4 inch diameter dots every 8 to
10 inches over the back surface of the panel. Follow the
silicone manufacturer’s instructions and note all ventilation
and installation precautions.
8. Install the side panel. Carefully position the overlapping
panel and press firmly to the wall. Keep the top edge of
the panels aligned when installing adjacent panels. Use
even hand pressure from top to bottom and side-to-side to
ensure solid wall contact.
9. Repeat Step 5 through Step 8 to install the remaining side
panel.
Apron Strips
Apron strips are included in some wall kits to give a finished
appearance to side panels that project beyond the front edge
of the bathtub or shower floor. Trial fit apron strips with side
panels before final installation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
TW-32 Bathtub Wall Kit. If the distance from the back wall to
the front edge of an apron strip is more than 31-1/2 inches,
the apron strips will not line up with the front edge of the side
wall panels. In this case, the apron strips can be discarded.
1. If the wall kit includes apron strips, trial fit strips to the
wall, with the pointed tip towards the bathtub or shower
floor, as shown. Apron strips should be trimmed to fit
tightly against the side of the bathtub/shower floor, even
with the top edge.
