BACK WALL INSTALLATION
BULLNOSE EDGE FINISHES
There are three options for nishing the ends of your side walls—Option 1: the bullnose edge; Option 2: the use of a tri-guard
under the wall panel; or Option 3: the use of a tri-guard over the wall panel. You should nish the edge as you did when installing the
plumbing wall. See pages 39 and 40 for directions on the three nishing options.
BACK WALL —TEMPLATE MEASURE
Step 1: Using the large wall template, place the template on the back wall, with the long edge against the soap dish wall and the short sides tight against
the ceiling and top of tub or shower base.

Step 2: Check for any gaps due to bowed walls or other miscellaneous reasons, and adjust accordingly. Once you have set the angles, tighten the lock-
knobs and remove the template.
There are two measuring options: the template method and the level method. The following is the template method. Please refer to
page 45 for the back wall level method.

Tip:
Be extremely careful not to bump the template once you’ve set your angles. If you do, you will need to go back and re-template.
Step 3: Measure from the soap dish wall side out to the location where the bullnose edge or tri-guard will end. In most cases, this location should be at
least
¼” past the end of the existing tile. (Image K)
Step 4: Make sure that back wall bullnose edge matches up to the bullnose edge on the ceiling. (Image L)
