Wall cladding requires dabs of silicone every 8”-10” (20-25cm) across and down. Be sure the backs of the sheets are clean and dust free.

When vertical hard seams are requested such as a back wall or tub surround, it is recommended to bond the panels together horizontally and float them up into place.

An alternative to bonding vertical seams might be to have beveled edges with silicone seams like real stone. For best results, use the Wavy Bit System to keep the panels aligned.

Vertical installations over 10’ (304.5cm) in height may need mechanical fasteners.

Back splashes require dabs of silicone every 8”-10” (20-25cm). The use of hot melt glue can help hold the splash in place until the silicone has set.
