A:  Hey Teressa! Please refer to the "Installation Guide" link under "Info & Guides." We recommend a 1/2 inch moisture resistant cement board or green-board over back, front, and rear wall surfaces of the rough opening, and applying a coat of water or oil-based primer/sealer to all the surfaces of the green-board.

A:  I have had the tub surround up for about three years. In that time I have had no issues with "yucky" build up. I recommend it.

A:  No issue with the joints. In fact, the joints are rather hard to detect. I would highly recommend this tub surround. I love mine, you will love it too.

A:  Hello Ash, You should not have issues with build up. Clean your tub surround regularly with common household liquid cleaners and a sponge or soft cloth. For hard water stains, scale removers can be used. To protect finish, any fiberglass wax or automotive paste wax can be applied. Do not use cleaning agents that caution use on acrylic, polyester or plastics. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Do not use “leave on” cleaning products, such as automatic spray shower cleaners. Prolonged contact with harsh chemicals could have an adverse reaction over time and discolor surfaces. If there is anything we can do to assist you, please reach out to Swan at 1-800-325-7008 between 8am-4:30pm CST, Monday Friday, or at help@swanstone.com. Thank you for choosing Swan!

A:  No I have this for 3 years. No issues with yucky build up. Easy to clean and the look of real tile is great. It is worth the extra money compared to others. You will love it.

A:  The US Department of Energy is clear on this subject: DO NOT use drywall, not even green board. DO use cement board (Hardie or other brands). https://basc.pnnl.gov/resource-guides/cement-board-installed-behind-tile-and-panel-tub-and-shower-enclosures

A:  It’s rather thin, recall about 3/8” thick. But it’s just right for gluing to the wall.

A:  I would estimate the adhesive tub wall is between one fourth to one eighth of an inch thick. just the right thickness for trimming to size and for adhering to the drywall with the adhesive.

A:  I would say yes, although I’m not a professional. Take your measurements carefully, to see if the product fits in your tub like it does on mine. For me, there would be plenty of room to install glass shower door. I prefer a curtain myself. Hope this helps.

A:  I don't know why not. This wall can be cut and trimmed to fit..

A:  Yes, Swan walls are designed to accept shower doors.
