New Construction Wallboard Installation
Note: If the high gloss wall panel kit is to be installed
over an existing wall surface, proceed to the next
section.
1. Measure and cut out openings for the faucet(s),
bathtub spout, and/or shower head. Install 1/2 inch
moisture-resistant CEMENT BOARD or greenboard
over back (1), front (2), and rear (3) wall surfaces of
the rough opening.
To prevent possible water (wicking affect) damage to the
wall, install the wall board with a 1/2 inch gap above the
bathtub or shower floor side lip, the front edge of the
bathtub or shower floor, and the room floor.
2. Apply a coat of water or oil-based primer/sealer to
all the surfaces of the CEMENT BOARD or
greenboard (follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
Allow the primer to dry thoroughly before applying
any silicone adhesive.
