Doing the template is genius! I'm glad I watched this video, I am doing a complete bathroom remode in a few weeks. Ive done toilets and vanties, but never a new shower install. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this.

@johnnyrottenwood4935 9 месяцев назад

Just a tip from someone who's been doing this for 30 years. I wouldn't use 1/2" pex B for your spout line out. Often its too restricting and causes water to always flow out your shower head when filling the tub.

🛠The only reason I bought the Delta Classic 500 was because of your video installation. Great job, well explained and even showed your "non-perfect" areas, like gaps and cut holes. Most BS videos show perfect installs after several practice videos. Made us feel like we can do it, so we did. Delta owes you some % of the $.

@waterwaysrestoration7621 3 месяца назад

Outstanding video, thank you! We used this as our main guide to install the Delta 600 surround and it was incredibly helpful. To cut down on the echoing/boominess of the surround, we applied 3 cans of Big Gap spray foam on the backside of the panels in the open pockets, under the shelves, etc. (applied another 2-3 cans to the undersides/inner gaps of the Kohler tub we installed as part of this project too, and then set the in mortar) and it made a huge difference. Give yourself plenty of time to be methodical and do it right. Follow every step and it will turn out awesome. Those long bar clamps are under $100 for a set of 4, and were of critical help, too. Could not have done this job nearly as well without this great video!

I just completed a Tub/Shower install that included replacing the floor under the old tub, minus a few minor mistakes of my own doing this video among the others including the extra support and faucet install help me out tremendously.

@robertcisek3990 Год назад

Just a note to an excellent video. If you intend to add a door or sliding doors to the tub/shower unit, you need something to hold screws for the frame on the ned pieces. You can add frame pieces as mentioned in the video or you can use contractors cement to glue in 2x4s inside the end pieces. I've glued in boards in two enclosure installs and it works great...its easier than inserting a frame piece.

@dkmackert Год назад

What kind of adhesive are you using to bond the 2x4 to the acrylic surround ? I am in the process opf doing this and it seems easier doing it the way youj are saying -

@larrybud 8 месяцев назад

Gluing the two bys doesn't hold those two bys to the main frame, however.

@briansegall1084 Год назад

Thanks for making this video. I watched it before installing my shower surround, and I want to mention a few things that I ran into. My shower is a Sterling Ensemble which is made out of their proprietary Vikrell material (probably just fiberglass with a secret ingredient), so there are some differences compared to normal fiberglass. 1. I cut the valve hole from the back like you did, but that was a mistake since it caused blowout on the front of the panel. Thankfully, the valve cover will hide the blowout. 2. The panels only touch the studs at the top and bottom. There's no point using sealant like you did since it wouldn't make contact with the panels. The panels are quite firm on their own. 3. The side panels use a tongue and groove system to slot 1/4" into the back panel. When measuring for the valve opening, I forgot to take this into account and ended up 1/4" off! Cheers!

@jeffkennedy1833 Год назад

Sterling is the only way to go .Period!

@jamesjoslin7586 Год назад

The sterling units require no caulking other than a small bead at the outside edge of the side panels where they meet the base. .Ive put many of these in. They’re decent for the money.

@TheSpatulaCity 7 месяцев назад

Awesome instructions. Thank you. 3:52 Although you won't be installing shower doors, someone else might in the future if you ever sell the place. So I think it would have been nice to put in those extra studs. Plus it might give the surround just a bit extra rigidity.

@dg-vg9di Месяц назад

I would recommend before putting up the panel with the shelves, is to put gap foam in the voids to stiffen them up. You want the low expanding foam that doesn’t warp the panel. I’d do this because people will use the shelves as handles and the foam stiffens it up and if they crack, to have something behind the acrylic to patch the panel. You can put an acrylic filler and there’s something behind it to hold the filler. Else, if the panel cracks, you can’t fix it and you’ll have to tear it all out and install a new panel. From experience you do not want to do that. Major pain in the butt for something that takes but a few minutes to do.

@waynezieschang5780 Год назад

Great video. One observation based on past experience - I put a layer of cardboard down in the tub to protect the tub finish from those nasty little scratches caused by anything that happens to be caught in the tread pattern of your shoes or happens to stick to your shoe soles and you don't notice until AFTER you step in the tub to do work. Don't ask me how I learned that the hard way with my mother's shower. 8-(

Run strip of wood same width as surround edge at top and install mold proof drywall. Get good quality faucet with hot/cold stops and make hole big enough to access.

@Wonderboy46Z 11 месяцев назад

I’m about to do this myself and NEVER done this before. Just to be clear, you mean spray foam from a can right? And a buddy told me to paint the drywall with Killz as a base coat, and do the same to all framing behind the insert as well. Does that all make sense or is it overkill?

@gregie9999hotair1 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the video! I think I watched about 5 videos for these surrounds and yours was the most helpful! I'm in AZ, I couldn't find the sealants and adhesives listed either. Working on the install this weekend. I'm using the shower pan version instead of the tub, same difference just taller walls. The floor is sloped about 1/8" from one end to the other. Do you know how much that is going to effect the install? I figure I may just have some gaps like you had where I would need a little more sealant at the bottom where the wall meets the pan. I just poured some self leveling cement stuff and turned out nice and flat, (as my floor was unevenly pieced together after replacing some rotted subflooring), its just not perfectly level. Thanks again for the video!

@justgivemethetruth Год назад

That's cool. Thanks. I am kind of amazed that nothing needs to go between those panels and the studs. I was thinking of some kind of moisture barrier to prevent water or steam from going back into the wall studs. Also, I wish you had not assumed that everyone already had their tub/shower alcove dimensioned correctly, and covered the case of when you have to do something to make it the right dimensions. It is great to see this done though on video because it allows us to have the confidence to do something like this. Great video

@ttmich Год назад

I am think the same way as you do. I would put some insulation stuffs between the studs for heat/cold insulation, but the mosture barrier is not needed because water and moisture can't penetrate the fiberglass wall of the shower.

@justgivemethetruth Год назад

@@ttmich Theoretically you are right, but water and moisture have a way to penetrate everywhere. He caulks the modules of the fiberglass panels, but what happens when they get very old?

@briandonohue7968 6 месяцев назад

@@justgivemethetruth fibreglass is used for boats. They generally don’t leak through the glass itself - but at joints. The same principle would apply here - the impermeable risk area is the silicone joints - not the panels unless they become damaged.

Just wondering - or suggesting - once you know exactly where the hardware will be where you will need the holes, why not just put the laser level on the target (e.g., handle) and then dry fit he panel without moving the laser? Wouldn’t that give you the location for the hole? You’d have to do that for both holes of course. After watching your video I bought that laser level - at first I thought I wasted $100, but you made a believer out of me! Thanks much!

@alexwlawson Год назад

I'm in the process of installing these walls right now and thought of trying this as well. The only issue is that you can't dry fit the walls with the tub spout and valve installed so you likely will not get a perfect measurement unless you install/uninstall your valve/spout a couple of times.
