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.

This is a project that I hope to undertake very soon. One recommendation that I especially am grateful for is when you mentioned making a cardboard template. That one recommendation made the entire video worthwhile for me. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Perfect video. Well thought out with fantastic instructions. Our bathroom is the spitting image of this one your working on. Followed your instructions step by step as we purchased the same tub and surround plus the shower valve. Delta needs to step up and financially support your channel. Thanks for all your help!

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.

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!

To anyone who plans to have someone install this, I suggest asking them to read the instructions AND sending them this video and asking them to watch it.

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.

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!

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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.
