Installation Instructions
Proper installation is key to the performance and longevity of your bathtub. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
- Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is level and capable of supporting the bathtub's weight. Frame the alcove opening according to the bathtub's dimensions, allowing for the integral tiling flange.
- Positioning: Carefully move the bathtub into the alcove. The integral front skirt and three-sided tiling flange are designed for straightforward installation against three walls.
- Drain and Overflow Connection: Connect the included solid brass pop-up drain and stainless steel overflow to your plumbing system. The fully sealed overflow drain system is integrated to minimize leaks and simplify installation.
- Leveling: The bathtub is equipped with adjustable feet on all four corners. Use these to level the tub and ensure proper drainage.
- Securing: Secure the bathtub to the wall studs through the tiling flange. Ensure the water retaining edge of the tub is hidden within the wall for a clean finish and to prevent water seepage.
- Finishing: Install wall coverings (e.g., tile) over the tiling flange to create a waterproof seal. Apply a silicone sealant along all seams where the tub meets the wall.

- The surface is stain-resistant and scratch-resistant, ensuring it remains bright and clean over time.
- The textured floor meets ASTM standards for slip resistance, providing enhanced safety.

Troubleshooting

| Surface Scratches/Dullness | Use of abrasive cleaners or materials. | Use only mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a specialized acrylic polish. |
