WOOD PANEL WARNING
In order to retain the natural beauty of the Bamboo, each slat is finished
with an extremely durable 2-part oil
finish that does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or
other harmful chemicals.
A light brown or red discoloration may be noticed in water exposed to
the wood, and is due to an excess of pigments (natural oils) in the wood
reacting with minerals present in certain types of water (well water,
hard water, etc.). This discoloration is a natural reaction often referred
to as leaching and should fade over time. The applied oil finish also
reduces the effects of leaching. If unsure, test wood in local water prior
to installation.
TIPS FOR DRILLING INTO TILE
• Use carbide tipped masonary drill on ceramic, or consider
a diamond tip drill for porcelain tile.
• If possible, drill a smaller pilot hole first.
• Be careful to prevent the drill from moving when you first start it
rotating - use duct tape or a wood guide on the surface of the tile
to hold the drill from walking sideways.
• A variable speed drill on slow is best to start the hole. Do not
apply too much pressure when drilling. Do not use a hammer drill.
• The screws listed as #10 typically use a hole diameter of 1/8”
(3mm) into the support structure (wood studs, blocking, etc.).
The clearance hole through tile, etc. would be a minimum of
13/64” (5mm).
MOUNTING LOCATION
We strongly recommend that you give some thought as to the
optimal location of your ThermaSol™ Corner Seat before
installation. The following suggestions are offered for your
consideration, however, it is recommended to consider advice
from the appropriate healthcare professional for locating the
support product. Also, consider the following when determining
the optimal mounting location:
1. Move mounting location to match structure behind the wall.
2. Avoid electrical / plumbing behind the wall.
3. Where possible, drill through tile - not through grout.
The ThermaSol™ Corner Seat is to be mounted on surfaces
perpendicular to each other (i.e. in a corner). If the holes on the
bracket do not align with the wood studs, we recommend
strengthening modifications to be done (see Page 3 for
recommendations). When determining the seat height,
consider the height of the user and their capabilities
(
NOTE
: ADA guideline specifies seat height of 17-19” above the
finished floor).
