The wall panels snap together, and the base and tub have a unique flange. When used with the matching Classic 500 tub or shower base, no caulk is needed on the interior seams. Water can’t get past the twists of the snap channel or over the top curve of the tub/base flange. We still recommend sealing around the finished wall perimeter of the wall set.

Be sure to explore our Classic 500 installation videos for step-by-step instructions and helpful tips. We recommend zinc-plated or stainless tell truss head screws for installation, though pan head screws will also work.

Yes, you can use tile with Classic 500 bases and tubs. If you’re not using our Classic 500 wall set, be sure to seal around the perimeter of the tub or base where it meets the tile and the floor.

Yes, you can install a grab bar directly to the studs after the shower surround has been installed.
