Installation Notes

The adjustable shower bench can be cut down smaller than 33.5" if needed. Separate the two sections, trim evenly using a metal cutting blade, then reassemble to the desired length.

Fill the bench using dry pack mortar or deck mud before tiling.

Important: Do not use thin-set mortar to fill the bench. A dry pack mortar mix using approximately 4 parts sand to 1 part cement is recommended.

Foam board installations require minimum 2x4 wood backing at all connecting locations. Invisabolt installations require minimum 4x6 structural wood blocking installed flush with the studs before wall substrate installation.

Waterproof Performance

The Better Bench system is engineered to maintain waterproof integrity without requiring additional waterproofing membranes. Proper sealing around fasteners and along the upper edge where the bench meets the wall is recommended during installation.
