The panels need to be held in place using
wall and floor battens, the configuration
required depends on the installation of the
bath� See
FIG. 8
for corner, alcove and straight
wall examples� Batten sizes below:
Wall battens approx.
50 x 50 x 400mm
Front panel battens approx.
50 x 50 x 1000mm
End panel battens approx.
50 x 50 x 500mm
NOTE
Battens are not supplied with the bath.

Before the battens and panels are fitted the
bath should be filled with water to the overflow
to ensure that the maximum downward
pressure is exerted on the bath� It is preferable
to fit the panels when the bath is full of water
to ensure correct trim and fit.
We also suggest a bead of silicone sealant is
offered to the lip of the bath now to ensure
a watertight finish between the wall and the
bath� Leave the water in the bath for as long
as possible allowing the silicone to cure
(FIG. 9)

Mark out positioning of the panel support
battens for the wall�
Do this by lining them up directly under the
corners marked
(A)
and
(B)
as advised on
FIG. 8
�
Next, drill and fix the front and end floor
battens as appropriate� Using a spirit level
against the lip of the bath, obtain a vertical angle
and mark the floor to allow battens to be fixed
to the floor for the panels to fix against.
NOTE
The battens should be fixed 8mm
in from the vertical edge.
