Do not use oil-based cleaners, such as mineral spirits, to
clean the panels. The oil in the cleaner will prevent the
panel from properly adhering to the wall.

Apply several dots of silicone over the back surface
of the apron strip. Follow the silicone
manufacturer’s instructions, and note all ventilation
and installation precautions.

Carefully position the apron strip and firmly press
the surface against the wall. Apply hand pressure
up and down and side-to-side, making sure all areas
are in firm contact with the wall.

Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 to install the
remaining apron strip.

Note: Make sure the top edge of both apron strips are
at the same height as the top of the bathtub/shower
floor.

Back Panel

Note: Corner wall units do not have back panels. If
installing a corner shower wall unit, skip to the
Temporary Bracing section.

Model SW-7060 Wall Kits. This kit has an extension
panel to fit back wall measurements from 36 to
60 inches wide. If the back wall measurement is over
36 inches, refer to the Extension Panel section BEFORE
installing the back panel.

Trial fit the back panel(s) and make any necessary
adjustments. If the existing bathtub or shower
enclosure back wall has a window, the back panel
must be cut to fit around the jam opening.

Note: The optional WTK-1 Window Trim Kit can be
used to finish out the installation and help protect the
window from moisture damage.
