Understanding the Trim-to-Size Advantage
When renovating a bathroom, getting walls to line up perfectly can be a challenge due to minor out-of-square corners in older framing. Think of the trim-to-size wall panels in this kit like a tailored suit; they are manufactured to generous initial dimensions so that your installer can carefully cut and fit them precisely to your alcove walls during setup. This ensures tight, watertight seams and a clean finish without awkward gaps.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is level and structurally sound before positioning the 30 in. x 60 in. shower base.
Install the acrylic wall panels over an existing finished surface rather than directly against bare studs.
Trim the QWALL-5 panels carefully during installation to match your exact alcove dimensions.
Use appropriate silicone sealant around joints and edges to maintain a watertight barrier.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Spray down the acrylic walls and shower base with warm water after each use to wash away soap residue.
Routine Cleaning Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleanser.
Stain Prevention Wipe away hair dye or harsh chemicals immediately to protect the bright white finish.
Avoid Abrasives Never use scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh powdered cleaners that can dull the acrylic surface.
Glass Care Clean the included glass corner shelves with standard glass cleaner to keep them sparkling.
