optional skirt installation instructions
The skirt may need to be trimmed to size. Take the measurements of the skirt opening and compare
1.
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.
To create a positive stop for the skirt, nail, glue or screw 2x2” or 2x4” wood blocks on both side walls
2.
and along the full length of the front floor section (parallel to tub lip). The wood blocks must be mount
-
ed securely against a wall or stud wall framing and the floor.
The top of the skirt is notched. Foam blocks are glued to the top backside of the skirt (section that is
3.
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.
Included with the skirt are two screws and decorative caps that cover /conceal the screw head and are
4.
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 deco
-
rative 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.
Installer may then seal the sides and floor with caulk or silicone if so desired.
