Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a 60" × 48" shower for this kit?
No! This base can be cut smaller or extended larger. The 60×48 is just the starting panel.
Will cutting affect the slope?
Not at all—the slope is consistent throughout, so trimming maintains drainage.
How do I extend for a bigger shower?
Use patch compound or extension panels. This allows coverage up to 8′ × 7′.
Can I install it myself?
Yes, many DIYers do. But for best results, we recommend working with a licensed installer.
