MAGNOLIA
To cover the front and sides of the bathtub, you can either use the plastic Magnolia Covering Panels, or follow the
classical mason technology to encase and face it choose the solution that suits your bathroom the best. To set the
bathtub into a niche, the walls must include the exact 90° angle!
INSTALLING YOUR BATHTUB
1. The bathtub can be installed in a finished and fully tiled bathroom only. In case the tiling on the bathroom walls
does not reach the floor, make sure it reaches at least 150 mm under the upper edge of the bathtub.
2. If you intend to encase the bathtub, the lining must follow its features and reach maximally 20 mm under its outer
edge, and its height 2-3 mm under the trim. See the detail on
remember to leave out some openings in the masonry to reach the outflow siphon and water delivery. You can
cover these openings e.g. with a tile fixed by magnets, or with a door.
3. Water delivery: Ø ¾" or ½". For a wall-hung mixing tap build an opening about 800 mm above the floor, in the most convenient location.
4. Outfall for the siphon: Ø 50 mm. Build it close to the bathtub outfall, avoiding the future location of the supportive legs.
