9. Install the Second Wall Panel
NOTE: Use silicone adhesive if the panels are being installed over tile. Use bath and shower construction
adhesive for all other applications.
Apply construction adhesive or silicone adhesive to the back wall panel in the same manner as the
first wall panel. 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 pressed into the corner, if
installed.
Push the wall panel against the installed locker unit and into the rough wall. Press firmly and
evenly across the entire wall panel. The wall panel should contact the rough wall along the entire
area.
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.
