Installation
Preparing the floor
 Strip the alcove to the bare studs. The studs should be plumb
and square to the sub-oor.
 The oor must be clean, smooth, and level. Sub-oor must be
installed in the stud layout.
 Cut a hole in the sub-oor to accommodate the drain (not included).
 Staple the felt pad (C) to the sub-oor where the support feet on
the base (A) will make contact with the oor.

Leveling the base
CAUTION: Do not install the shower base on open
oor joists.
NOTE: If the sub-oor is not level, a oor leveling
compound (smooth mortar) or a similar quick-setting
compound specically made for leveling oors is an
excellent way to fully support and level the base instead
of wood shims.
 Trial t the base (A) in the prepared alcove. With the base (A)
sitting at on the oor, check with the level on top of the base (A).
It should be level from front-to-back and side-to-side
 If the base (A) is not level, install wood shims between the base
feet and the sub-oor as needed.
 Remove the base (A) from the alcove.

WARNING: Failure to screw anges to all studs
will result in void of warranty.

 If there are any gaps between the base (A) and the studs, use
shims to create a tight t.
 Predrill holes onto the base (A) ange using a 1/8" drill bit. Next,
screw the ange to all of the studs.

Care and Cleaning
For best results in caring for your shower base, we suggest the following:
 Do not use any abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers.
 If the drywall mud or plaster gets on your shower base, it may be carefully removed with a wooden scraper made from a piece of scrap wood.
 Adhesive may be removed with the use of mineral spirits.
These items can be purchased at your local Home Depot store.
WARNING: Some cleaning products are not suitable for
for use. Read all labels carefully. DO NOT USE if they say
“not suitable for use with ABS, acrylic or polystyrene”.
Scratch Removal
ITEMS TO PURCHASE
For effective scratch removal and polishing, you will need to purchase one or all of these items:
 1 Sheet 1000 grit wet-dry sandpaper
 1 Sheet 1500 grit wet-dry sandpaper
 1 Sheet 2000 grit wet-dry sandpaper
 1 Small container of rubbing compound
SANDING INSTRUCTIONS
 Begin sanding with a 2000 grit sandpaper. Use small squares of paper - about 2 in. x 2 in. - for all sanding and use plenty of water.
The water serves as both a lubricant and to prevent residue buildup on the paper. Residue buildup shortens the effective life of the paper
and may scratch the surface you are trying to polish.
 2000 grit paper is the nest grit available. If you cannot remove all of the scratches with 2000 grit, switch to 1500 grit. Remember to
wash the paper frequently with water as you sand.
 If all of the scratches cannot be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should remove most ne scratches. If you have deep
scratches or gouges, coarse paper may result in more scratches than it removes.
 Once you have removed all of the scratches by sanding with the nest paper possible, repeat the sanding process using successively ner
grits of papers until you have once again sanded with 2000 grit.
 Using the rubbing compound and a soft, damp cloth, polish using considerable pressure to produce a smooth, shiny nish.
