Installation Guide
Measure your existing alcove space carefully and use the trim-to-size guidelines to cut panels to your required depth and width before permanent mounting.
Ensure the installation surface is completely clean, dry, and structurally sound, as these panels must be installed over an existing solid surface rather than directly to studs.
Apply recommended adhesive evenly according to manufacturer instructions to secure each panel firmly in place against the wall.
Install the two included glass corner shelves securely at your preferred height during the layout process.
Seal all exterior perimeter edges with a high-quality, mold-resistant silicone sealant to prevent water infiltration behind the panels.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning Wipe down the acrylic and ABS panels after each use with a soft cloth or squeegee to remove soap residue.
Mild Cleansers Use warm water and a mild, non-abrasive liquid dish soap or specialized acrylic cleaner for regular maintenance.
Avoid Abrasives Never use scouring pads, steel wool, harsh chemical solvents, or abrasive powdered cleansers that can dull the glossy finish.
Shelf Upkeep Clean the two glass corner shelves using a standard glass cleaner, wiping dry to prevent water spots.
Sealant Check Periodically inspect the perimeter silicone caulk lines for any signs of wear or gaps, reapplying as needed to maintain a waterproof barrier.
