PREPARATION TIPS
• Begin by measuring the width of the back wall, after it has been cleaned and
prepared for installation. If this measurement exceeds the width of the JETCOAT™
Shower Wall System back panels that came with your kit, you will need to purchase a
larger kit or additional wall panels.
• Then, measure the height of the back and side walls above the bathtub
or shower base. If the height of the walls is less than the height of the
JETCOAT™ panels, they can be easily cut to fit.
• Turn off the water supply.
• Remove all shower hardware and decorations, including but not limited
to: faucet handles, escutcheons, filler spouts, towel bars, and soap dishes.
• Measure the location of the plumbing cutouts, as stated in the
instructions. To be sure your measurements are correct, make
a cardboard template to test the plumbing cutouts prior cutting the
JETCOAT™ panels.
• All plumbing and electrical work inside the walls must be finished prior to
installing the wall panels.
• Before you being, trial fit the side panels. The unfinished back side of the
panel should be place against the sub-wall.
• Walls should be solid, plumb, and square within 1/8 inch of true. The
JETCOAT™ Shower Wall System has been designed to allow for trimming,
to accommodate minor alignment problems.
• The mounting surface should be cleaned and prepared, according to the
Installation Procedure.
• If you plan to install a recessed accessory, cut the panel accordingly
after it has been fully installed, and had the proper time to adhere to
the wall. Remember to be considerate of wall studs when
positioning the accessory.
CAULKING TIPS
• Follow the instructions on the tube of your chosen caulk.
• Once you have completed the project, inspect all of the areas that have
been caulked for gaps. Fill in the areas as needed.
• Remove any excess caulk using denatured alcohol and a clean cloth. Use
caution, and do not to disturb any of the caulk joints.
