Shower Base Installation Instructions:
- Verify style and all measurements.
- Trial fit the shower base. The base should be installed pre-drywall, leaving at least 1/8” gap between the base and wall studs to allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Shower base should not be a tight fit. Make sure the base is level. Nail or glue shims to floor.
- Base should be set in a bed of mortar, with plastic between floor and base, for leveling and complete support of the bottom.
- Install the drain according to the manufacturer’s directions. A good quality silicone sealant should be used under the drain collar and bottom washer. Tighten the nut to finger tight plus ½ to 1 turn. It is important that you do not overtighten the drain. Wipe off access silicone immediately. Do not use plumber’s putty.
Care instructions:
The high-quality gel coat surface is designed to resist most liquids and retain a high gloss finish. The following care should be taken to ensure the life of the product:
- Avoid extreme water temperatures. Hot water should not exceed 140°F or below.
- Do not use any abrasive cleaners. Use a sponge and mild soap to clean the surface.
- A frequent coat of automotive paste wax will help repel water, restore the shine, and make cleaning easier.
Depending on the size and configuration, there is no guarantee that 100% of the water will drain from all areas.
Not following the above guidelines will void your warranty.
