How to Install a Seamed Back Wall:
6
When making a vertical seam (see
picture 6) make sure to use the factory
cut edges; this will create a straight,
tight seam. First, identify the center
line where the seam will be and draw a
line with the straight edge. A standard
tub surround back wall usually
measures 60”, so the center line will
be at 30”.
When installing panel #1, start at the
bottom and place the panel lightly
on the wall. Make sure the center
line aligns with the panel edge.
Place a bead of the specied color
coordinating silicone/caulk on the
back edge and apply lightly to bond
the panel to the wall, do not press
panel rmly yet. Repeat the process
for panel #2 and make the two panels
align tightly. Do not press rmly until
seam is set.
After you’re satised with your seam,
use the roller horizontally rst (not
vertically) to atten out any gaps.
Once the panels are rmly in place,
go up and down the seam vertically
as seen in (picture 6a). To clean any
excess adhesive, spray denatured
alcohol on the seam and wipe off any
excess.
