Understanding the Trim-to-Size Acrylic Wall System
When installing a multi-piece shower surround, achieving a seamless fit against varying wall dimensions can be challenging. Think of the QWALL-5 backwall system like a tailored suit; the panels are engineered with extra material designed to be trimmed precisely on-site during installation. This allows the acrylic and ABS panels to accommodate minor out-of-square wall conditions in older homes while maintaining a clean, professional finish and a watertight connection between sections.
Installation Guide
Ensure the shower base and backwall kit are installed over an existing finished surface rather than directly against bare studs.
Measure and carefully trim the sidewall panels during installation to achieve a precise fit for your specific alcove dimensions.
Verify that the integrated tile flange is properly secured to assist with waterproofing along the perimeter.
Check all panel connections to ensure the unique watertight sealing mechanism is fully engaged.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning Wipe down the acrylic and ABS surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild liquid dish soap.
Stain Removal Use a non-abrasive cleaner formulated for acrylic to gently lift any stubborn soap scum or mineral deposits.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or harsh solvent-based cleaners that can dull the high gloss finish.
Glass Shelf Care Clean the included glass corner shelves with standard glass cleaner to maintain a clear, streak-free appearance.
Drain Maintenance Periodically check around the drain opening to prevent hair and debris buildup on the textured floor.
