1. Measure the distance from the top of the shower base to
the outside of the panel. Cut two pieces of the Swanstone
material to fit in this area.
Note
: This illustration shows the recommended 1/2” gap
between the wallboard edge and the front of the shower
floor (helps prevent water damage due to wicking effect).
1/2"
2. Hold the apron strips in place and scribe the angle of the
shower base onto each piece. Remember, do not cut the
finished edge.
3. Place silicone on the back side of the apron strips.
4. Attach the apron strips to the wall.
Temporary Bracing
Install temporary bracing to hold the three panels in place until
the silicone is completely set (usually 24 hours). This will allow
proper curing of the silicone.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To ensure contact between the panels and walls until the
silicone sets, install temporary bracing after completing
installation. The bracing should be constructed from lengths of
2 x 4’s. Failure to brace in the manner described could keep
the panels from adhering, resulting in personal injury, as well
as water damage or other damage to floors, walls, or other
portions of your building or home.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To prevent scratches or other damage, make sure there are
no nails or other foreign objects in the surface of the bracing
that is placed against the panel.
If the horizontal braces are fastened to the vertical braces
using nails or screws, make sure the fasteners do not
penetrate the surface of the panel. Also, to prevent possible
damage to the walls, do not apply excessive pressure to the
braces.
1. Place two or three braces against the back wall. Place two
braces on panels that are 48” or less and three braces on
panels greater than 48” wide.
