Installation
For the best installation and alignment, all alcove walls should be in place and secured prior to surround
installation. Tub/shower pan
MUST
also be previously installed per installation instructions.
NoTe:
All caulks, adhesives, sealants
MUST
be compatible with ABS.
1.
The wall area where the surround is to be placed, and the surround itself,
MUST
be clean and dry.
Ensure wall area is free of any protruding objects (nails, staples, etc.).
2.
Cover tub/shower pan with plastic film to protect surface and minimize cleanup.
3.
To properly align, install back wall panel first. Find the center of the alcove opening and place a mark at
that point on the back deck of the tub/shower pan.
4.
Measure up from the deck of the tub 57” for a tub surround and 67” for a shower pan surround.
5.
Apply a 1/4” bead of mastic adhesive in a vertical or horizontal direction with 3” spacing (or less), on the
wall where the surround will be adhered.
NoTe:
If using spray adhesive, coat both the alcove wall and wall surround. See product instructions.
6.
Align center mark on back deck of tub/shower pan with center mark below soap dish on back wall
of surround. Starting at bottom center of surround, firmly press from center to outside edge. Do not
remove release paper at this time.
7.
Pull flashing surround away from back wall, remove paper from tape at bottom of back panel and
reposition. Press firmly as described in step 6 for complete adhesion of surround.
NoTe:
No flashing required when using spray adhesive. Remove paper from flange tape before positioning
back panel.
8.
Optional: Use a roller to remove all air that may be trapped behind the back wall and to ensure
complete contact of adhesive to surround.
9.
The front edge of each side panel aligns with the vertical apron flange (exception: 27" X 54" wall
surround extends approximately 1/2” past tub edge on 27" X 54" apronless tub). Beginning with either
the left or right side panel, repeat the adhesion process used on the back wall.
10.
Install inside corner caps at top of surround. (It may be necessary to trim the corner cap to fit the
opening).
11.
After tub/shower pan and surround have been cleaned and free of dust, ensure that the installation is
watertight.
12.
Clean properly. Do not use any non-recommended cleaners (see “Care and Cleaning Instructions”).
Failure to follow the instructions provided in this manual may result in injury, component damage, or
voiding of the component warranty.
Safety Information
LCI recommends that installations only be done by a qualified technician. LCI also recommends that the
technician should use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, during
the installation process.
