CAUTION: It is advisable to protect the
base surface with a thin plywood or
cardboard shield while fastening the
flange to the framing.
WARNING! THE BASE BOTTOM
SHOULD BE CLEAR OF ALL
POTENTIALLY DAMAGING DEBRIS
AND THE SURFACE PROTECTED
BEFORE STEPPING INSIDE.
Please ensure that the base remains free of
potentially damaging debris before proceeding
with finishing of enclosure.
Post Installation Finishing
Furring strips or filler material may be
required.(Figure 4).
A water resistant underlayment is recommended
on areas surrounding the base. Leave a gap of
1/16 to 1/8 inch from the base surface, and fill
the space with a continuous bead of waterproof
sealant.
Carefully fasten the underlayment near the base
to avoid damaging the base surface. Seal the
seams and edges of the underlayment, as
required, and install the finish material to
specifications. (Figure 4)
WARNING
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS,
MATERIALS, ACIDS, OR SOLVENTS ON THE
BASE SURFACE.
Through routine use, the base surface can
collect residues from soap, bath additives and
natural body oils. Additional deposits can also
collect from minerals or particles found in the
water.
After each use, wipe the excess water from the
base. This practice will reduce the buildup of
deposits and help maintain the natural base
luster.
