Step 1: Install corner reinforcements. Corner reinforcements are part of the triple gasketing system and are used to square up the walls and provide a more
permanent seal. Start by measuring from the top of the tub or shower base to the ceiling and record the measurement.

Step 2: Transfer the measurement to the reinforcement. Cut the reinforcement with tin snips. (Image N)
Step 3: Test t the corner reinforcement. Trim and re-test t as necessary.
Step 4: Once the reinforcement ts, clean and prep the existing walls using industrial strength cleaner and denatured alcohol.
Step 5: Apply silicone on both sides of the inside corners of the wall in a continuous bead from ceiling to top of tub or shower base. Press reinforcements
into place.

Step 1: Using the large wall template, place the long edge against the plumbing wall and the short sides against the ceiling and top of tub or shower base.

Step 2: Check for any gaps due to bowed walls or any other miscellaneous reasons and adjust accordingly.
Step 3: Tighten the large lock-knobs securely.

Step 4: Use the template to transfer the measurements onto the soap dish wall panel. Place the template onto the new wall panel, ush with the top ceiling
edge, and make three marks along all three sides of the template.

Tip:
Another continuous bead of silicone will be added on top of the corner reinforcements before nal wall installation and after walls are
in place.

There are two measuring options: the template method and the level method. The following is the template method. Please refer to
page 37 for level method.
Tip:
Be extremely careful not to bump the template once you have set your angles. If you do, you will need to go back and re-template.

Step 5: Connect markings with a straight edge.
Step 6: Measure from the plumbing wall to back wall and record the measurements. (Image S) Transfer these measurements by making three width marks
on the panel, using the plumbing wall line as the starting point.
Step 7: Connect the lines with a straight edge. (Image T) This will be the back wall.

When your project includes simulated tile walls, you will need to take some additional time to pre-plan before cutting to ensure your
grout lines will match up on all three panels. This can be done by taking accurate measurements of your soap dish wall and preliminary
measurements of your plumbing and back walls. You always want to be sure the full tile is at the top, and equal spacing of tiles are on the left
and right.
Step 1: Draw a level horizontal line across the soap dish wall, from plumbing wall to back wall. Measure from the horizontal line up to the ceiling in three
different locations to determine if the ceiling is level. Record the measurements on the existing wall. (Image U)
There are two measuring options: the template method and the level method. The following is the level method. Please refer to page 36
for template method.
Note:
If your ceiling is not level, cut the top edge of the wall panel according to the difference in your measurements.
Step 2: Measure from the top of the shower base or tub up to the horizontal line in three different locations. Add these measurements to the measure-
ments you took from the level line to the ceiling, and record them on the existing wall. (Image V)
Step 3: Draw a vertical plumb line from the top of the shower base or tub to the ceiling. Measure from the vertical line to the plumbing wall corner reinforce-
ments at 3 or 4 different locations to determine if the wall is plumb. Record the measurements on the existing wall. (Image W)
