Check flooring under the bath and repair if necessary.
Make sure that the subfloor is level. Seal subfloor to
reduce the risk of water damage.
C. STUD POCKET PREPARATION
Construct a recess designed for your particular
installation. Framing is of 2 x 4 construction. When
constructing framing, allow for thickness of sub and
finished wall materials.
If an apron wall without a ledge is desired, the finished
apron wall surface must be 1/32” under the bath rim.
Bath can be installed as a corner, recess or sunken
installation. Possible studding arrangements are
illustrated in 1. through 3. below; modifications may be
needed for other types of construction.
