Optional Skirt:
1.
The skirt may need to be trimmed to size. Take the measurements of the skirt opening and compare those of the skirt
itself to determine if the skirt must be trimmed to fit. If so, mark the dimensions on the skirt and trim the skirt on the
bottom and sides (do not trim the top of the skirt) and cut to within 1/8” of the required dimensions using a circular
saw with sharp tooth blade. It is recommended using a belt sander to finish trimming the sides and bottom of the skirt
to the exact size of the opening.
2.
To create a positive stop for the skirt, nail, glue or screw 2x2” or 2x4” wood blocks on both side walls and along the full
length of the front floor section (parallel to tub lip). The wood blocks must be mounted securely against a wall or stud
wall framing and the floor.
3.
The top of the skirt is notched. Foam blocks are glued to the top backside of the skirt (section that is notched) and will
compress to hold the skirt against the bathing well of the tub. Check the underside of the tub lip for smoothness…
there may be fiberglass chop that requires sanding so the skirt will fit snugly in place. Slide the notched top edge of
the skirt under the lip of the tub. Move the bottom section of the skirt in place until it is resting against the wood
blocks. Verify the vertical edge of the skirt is perpendicular to the floor.
4.
Included with the skirt are two screws and decorative caps that cover/conceal the screw head and are color matched
to the acrylic. Drill two (2) screw holes in the bottom of the skirt to protect the acrylic from cracking, position to align
with wood block. Screw both lower ends of the skirt through the decorative caps, through the acrylic and into the
wood blocks to hold the skirt securely in place.
Note: the skirt is not marked where the screws should be positioned as application will dictate position.
5.
Installer may then seal the sides and floor with caulk or silicone if so desired.
