Install the Second Side Wall Panel
NOTE: Use silicone adhesive if the wall panels are being installed over tile. For all other applications, use the adhesive
type specified in the instructions included with the shower walls.
Apply adhesive to the side wall panel in a circular pattern. The beads of adhesive should be 5" (127 mm) to 7" (178
mm) apart.
Apply a bead of adhesive along the edges of the wall panel 3/4" (19 mm) from the edge.
Move the side wall panel into place by first pressing the side wall panel into the seam joint and then sliding the wall
panel into the corner joint if installed.
Push the wall panel against the rough wall. Press firmly and evenly across the entire wall panel. The wall panel should
contact the rough wall along the entire area.
Remove excess adhesive with your finger.
NOTE: Bracing may be needed to hold the wall panel in place depending on the rough wall material and adhesive being
used.
When installed over tile, use a temporary brace to secure each wall panel in place for 48 hours to allow full adhesion.
Repeat these steps with the second side of the enclosure.
