Room Temperature
Allow the Swanstone panel and
silicone to adjust to room
temperature for at least six hours
before installation. The panel should be installed at
temperatures not less than 65 degrees. Panels should
not be installed in areas where the temperature may
drop below freezing (32°F). Failure to follow this
recommendation could adversely affect the silicone
which holds the panels to the mounting surface.
