Welcome to this instructional video on how to install a Delta shower surround directly to wall studs. In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing a shower surround that will add style and functionality to your bathroom.
Before we get started, you'll need a few tools and materials, including a level, a drill, screws, a silicone adhesive, and of course, the Delta shower surround kit. Make sure to read the manufacturer's instructions and follow all safety guidelines.
The first step is to locate the studs in your bathroom wall. You can use a stud finder to help you locate them. Once you have found the studs, use a level to draw a horizontal line where the top edge of the shower surround will be installed.
Next, apply a silicone adhesive to the back of the shower surround. Place the surround against the wall, aligning it with the horizontal line you drew earlier. Make sure it is level and flush against the wall.
Once you have the shower surround in place, use a drill to screw it into the wall studs. It's important to use screws that are long enough to reach the studs and provide a secure attachment.
Continue attaching the surround to the wall studs, making sure it stays level and flush as you go. Use a level periodically to check that the surround remains straight.
After you have attached the surround to the wall studs, apply a silicone adhesive to the seams between the surround and the wall. This will help prevent water from seeping behind the surround.
And that's it! You have successfully installed a Delta shower surround directly to wall studs. With the proper tools and techniques, this installation can be completed in just a few hours, giving your bathroom a fresh new look and improved functionality.
