Acrylic bath panel question

Hillabaloo · Post by **Hillabaloo** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 7:16 am

Having new bath installed. Been advised that bath goes against wall and then tile down to it.

But what to do with bath panel?

If fit bath panel and then continue tiles down to floor I wont be able to remove it, or very difficult, for access. The panel is strengthened acrylic - carronite.

What are recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Fit the bath panel after tiling - trim as necessary to fit.

On a side note, tile down to bath with the bath empty. once tiled, fill the bath full of water and seal when full.

You want the bath at the highest point for tiling (so it doesn't expand / move upwards into the tile then shatter the bath or the tile)

You want the bath at its lowest point for sealing between the bath and the tile (so there is no gap between the tile and the bath that the water will penetrate through.) although sealent is flexible, you ideally don't want to stretch it, better to have it compress on itself.
