FOR STEEL STUD WALL FRAMES WITH ACRYLIC SHOWER WALL
APPLICATIONS - SEE BELOW
•
NOTE:
As a steel wall stud should not be cut, it
is necessary to build out the wall level to clear
the shower base tile bead thickness.
•
A suitable wet area sheet product of no less
than 12mm thickness is required to achieve
the desired level. Use of either a 13mm Wet
Area Plasterboard or 12mm Wet Area Fibre
Cement sheet is advised.
•
Install the chosen 12 or 13mm wet area sheet
product bottom edge at least 6mm above
the tile bead (as per relevant manufacturer’s
instructions).
•
Once sheeting is completed, use a flexible waterproof sealant (not supplied) to
seal the gap between the shower base tile bead and the wet area sheet.
