FIXING ACRYLIC SHOWER WALL
•
Place the wall into position ensuring that the corner area is
pressed into place first. Note the bottom edge of the shower
wall should be sitting hard on the shower base, in front of
the tile bead.
•
Remove the shower wall from position for approximately
5 seconds to allow the adhesive to aerate.
•
Reposition the shower wall liner. Use a damp cloth and
press towards the edges to ensure full contact has been
made over the entire shower liner area.
•
Ensure site is left for 20 minutes to cure and then brace as required to hold in position.
•
Bracing should remain in position for not less than 18 hours for complete curing.
AFTER INSTALLATION
Once wall lining adhesion is fully cured, remove the protective film on the shower
wall liner completely.
•
Apply silicone sealant provided around the tap hole penetrations to waterproof
the gaps. A qualified tradesperson can now fit the tap sets over the wall liner.
DO NOT USE THE SHOWER FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS AFTER FINAL
INSTALLATION TO ALLOW FOR FULL CURE.
Refer to Section 13 for Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions.
ADHERING ACRYLIC SHOWER WALL
•
Prepare area by wiping down the shower wall, base and wet area sheet ensuring
it is clean and dry.
•
The shower wall is adhered to the wet area sheet using Sika Showerbond
adhesive supplied.
Only
this adhesive should be used, as other brands may
fail over time. Please read the manufacturer’s instructions on the back of the
Showerbond cartridge before use.
•
Using the marked pencil lines as your guide and starting from the outside, apply
the adhesive as per diagram below. Apply a continuous 5mm bead of adhesive
onto the wet area sheet, 15mm minimum from the side and bottom edges.
Do
not put any adhesive along the top edge,
as this will seal the wall and not allow
expansion of air to escape during use – causing buckling of the wall.
•
Apply a bead of adhesive around the tap fittings, with 15mm clearance on all sides.
•
Apply vertical lines of Showerbond adhesive on the wet area sheet, 100mm apart
to cover the remainder of the wall area.
•
Before fitting the shower wall, apply a bead of silicone sealant supplied along the
inside face of the tile bead upstand of the shower base as shown below.
