wall to the front edge of an apron strip is more than
31-1/2 inches, the apron strips will not line up with the
front edge of the side wall panels. In this case, the
apron strips can be discarded.
1. If the wall kit includes apron strips, trial fit strips to
the wall, with the pointed tip towards the bathtub or
shower floor, as shown. Apron strips should be
trimmed to fit tightly against the side of the
bathtub/shower floor, even with the top edge.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and
solvents used by the installer can be
harmful if used in an unventilated room.

well-ventilated, open windows and use exhaust fans. If
adequate ventilation is not achievable or practical, use
respiratory protective equipment.
