Helpful Hints
 Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the various parts of the kit.
 The variety of installations possible for this kit may
require procedures other than those shown. Ensure
construction is correctly sized, plumb, and square.
 Allow sufficient time for the parts in this kit to adjust to
room temperature. We do not recommend
installation of this product at temperatures below 65
degrees.
 Saw horses with 2 x 4 cross-members or a worktable
is helpful during the installation process.
 Always transport the panels vertically. Use care
when laying the panels flat to prevent flexing,
especially when panels have a cutout in them.
 Store unused materials away from the work area to
prevent accidental damage.
Preparation Tips
 Turn off the hot and cold water supply.
 Ensure all plumbing or electrical work inside the walls
is finished prior to installation of the bench seat.
 Prepare the area with 1/2" (13 mm) moisture-resistant
drywall, marine grade plywood, or concrete board.
Never install our products directly on any surface that
is, or may become, wet or damp.
 Trial fit the panel before you begin. Swanstone
panels have a finished side and a nonfinished backer
side. The Swanstone panel has a sticker or stickers
attached to the nonfinished backer side and, upon
installation, should be placed against the mounting
surface.
 The mounting surface must be free of dirt, film,
waxes, or any other residues.
Caulking Tips
 Follow the instructions on the caulking tube.
 When job is complete, inspect all caulked areas for
gaps and fill as needed.
 Clean up any excess silicone that was missed using
denatured alcohol and a clean cloth.
 Be very careful not to disturb caulk joints.
