Swanstone RM-58 - Installation - Manual (Page 12)

High Gloss Wall Kits
Before beginning, refer to the General Information
section for important information on how to prepare the
existing bathtub or shower walls for installation.
Swan Corporation high gloss wall kits feature several
distinct designs, depending on kit style and the size of
the bathtub or shower enclosure.
The wall kits are divided into different styles: those with
separate corner panels and those with combined corner
side panels. The different installation procedures are
covered in the following sections. Refer to the
Installation section that matches the Swan Corporation
product being installed.
Installation
Before starting the installation, refer to the Kit Contents
section to verify the contents of the carton are correct.
Also, read, understand, and follow any NOTES listed for
your model Swan Corporation wall kit.
DO NOT nail wall panels to sub-walls. This will damage
the wall panels, could result in water damage or other
damage to floors, walls, or other portions of your
building or home, and will void the warranty.
Wall panels with a bullnose (curved) edge should be
installed with the bullnose edge toward the front edge of
the bathtub or shower floor.
For a professional looking installation, align the top
edges of the adjacent panels and line up any grout lines.
If the bathtub or shower floor has settled or is out of
plumb, it may be necessary to file or sand the bottom
edge of the panels to achieve a good fit across the top.
Trial fit all panels before final installation.
If the existing bathtub or shower enclosure has a
window, the optional WTK-1 Window Trim Kit can be
used to finish out the installation and help protect the
window from moisture damage.
Gaps between the bathtub or shower floor ledge and the
bottom edge of the wall panels must be caulked after the
temporary bracing is removed.
Wall Kits With Separate Corner
Panels - TW-32, WW-6000,
SW-7036, and SW-7060
Corner Panels
Many corner panels are oriented to be installed a certain
way. Check for identification tags on the back of panels.
Molded in shelves must be installed with the flat surface
facing up. Corner panels without tags or molded in
features may be interchangeable.
1. Select either a left or right corner panel. Trial fit the
corner panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
Note: Corner shower wall kits only have one corner
panel. Install it with the flat surface of the molded shelf
facing up.
