How to put up shower wall panels.

Use drywall tape over the gaps between the bathroom wall panels and smooth down so the surface is even with the panels. Along the studs mark the top edge of the base on all three sides. Check the fit of the panels along all edges. Install the shower handle showerhead and tub spout according to the manufacturer s instructions.

Measure the area where the wall panels will be fitted. Now dry fit the enclosure. Make sure that trim pieces cover any exposed holes. Reset it and wipe along its face with a damp cloth pressing firmly to seat it in the adhesive.

Run a bead of silicone caulk along the point where the rim of the bathtub or shower pan meets the wall set the panel in place press it against the wall and then pull it back and wait for 30 seconds to allow the solvents to escape. Make sure it locks firmly in place. Wall panels can be fitted over multiple surfaces like tiles and plasterboard. Use tape to hold up the panel until you can insert the side wall.

Put the back shower wall in position locking the bottom tabs into the base. If faucet and shower stems are extending out of the wall this may require that you cut the holes for the front panel at this time see below. Set the panel for the back wall the wall opposite the faucet valves against the wall with the top edge flush against the level guideline drawn on the wall. Fill over the screw heads with spackle and smooth over so that it is level with the bathroom wall panels.

Caulk around the fixtures. Caulk around the top of the shower the seams between panels the sides and the bottom where the walls meet the tub. Cut the top and bottom trim to size and attach to the bathroom wall panels by nailing into place using thin tack nails. Then install the shower rod and hang the curtain.

Take your panel and lay it flat on supports with the front facing up then mark out the cutting lines on the panel. Next place the side panel then the front panel on the walls using masking tape. Tape the panel in place with strips of masking tape. I bought installation kit online that consist of 3 boards 240 cm x 100 cm eac.
