6. Install the First Wall Panel
NOTE:
Use silicone adhesive if the wall panels are being installed over tile. Use bath and shower
construction adhesive for all other applications.
Apply adhesive to the back wall panel in a circular pattern. The beads of adhesive should be 5” (127
mm) to 7” (178 mm) apart.
Apply a bead of construction adhesive along the top edge of the wall panel 3/4” (19 mm) from the
edge.
Move the wall panel into place at a slight angle with the corner joint, if installed, fully pressed into
the corner.
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 completely.
TIP:
To remove excess adhesive, spray denatured alcohol on the area to be cleaned and onto your
finger. The denatured alcohol will help make the removal of the adhesive easier.
Remove the 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.
