Installing the shampoo shelf:
1. First you will need to determine the location of the shampoo shelf. Measure 48” up on
the shower panels and make a mark with your pencil. This will be the height to the top
of the shampoo shelf.
2. After determining the correct height for the shelf, use the acetone to thoroughly clean
the back of the shampoo shelf, the supports and the wall where it is to be installed.
3. Using the torpedo level, lightly make a level line to the corner, going onto the adjacent
wall with the mark.
4. The 5 ½” wide support should be installed first. Apply the silicone to the clean back of
the support; only a small amount is necessary. Place the silicone toward the outer
edges of the supports. Then apply a small amount of hot glue in the middle of the back
of the supports.
NOTE:
It is important that the two different adhesives DO NOT mix.
Once the hot
melt glue has been applied, the supports need to be installed immediately. If they
are not and your hot melt glue cools, the glue will need to be scraped off and re-
applied.
5. The 5” wide support leg is installed next, following the same procedures used to install
the 5 ½” support.
6. Apply a bead of silicone to the top of the supports. Place the shelf on top of the
supports, pressing the shelf into the silicone and wipe away the excess. Using 100%
silicone, color matched for the cast marble, seal around the shampoo shelf once
installation is complete.
7. Check the level of the shelf with the torpedo level. There should be a slight downdraft
from the back corner to the front of the shelf. If the walls are not plumb, this could cause
the shelf to be angled incorrectly. This can be easily adjusted with small shims under
the shelf and on top of the supports.
8. Using a clean rag or cloth, wipe off the pencil lines and any excess silicone. The final
product should look like this:
