does it need hardiebacker or any type of waterproofing behind the wall surrounds themselves, before they're screwed into the studs? Or just around the wall surround?
@@CreativeProcessDIY if you silicone all seams , can water get through the silicone if it's not kept up or done the right way? which can lead to water behind the walls? I ask this because when i was looking for a company to do mine all of them mentioned they were going to put some type of green board behind the wall surrounds. So i was confused when I saw all your videos and nothing behind them.
I’d apply glue to the studs liberally and then put the walls I’m and screw the down. The will keep the walls from moving and flexing when you touch the walls.
it would be a great idea but because of design of the walls for this model (they are not touching the studs in the middle) you can only apply glue on the top where you have to screw the walls into place. I don't think it will make any diffrence...anyway they will flex/move a bit once fully installed.
What about gluing the surround at the bottom as well as to the studs behind and providing support until it dries? I am installing this same surround now and the instructions call for that. Otherwise it is only attached at the top.
Question. (Im just learning and new to all this). Do you need to add anything behind the tub surround walls? What if water goes behind the caulk in those cracks that join the panels together somehow.
Don't follow these instructions. The pipes in the wall in this video are galvanized. Same as showering in rust. Not to mention he made the wall stick out away from the shower handle. The finishing ring will not hold... I can go on. Please don't do it like this. He didn't show the finished product for a reason. I'm sure adjustments had to be made to make it work
Caulk all seams!!!!! Also, your supposed to add adhesive behind the shower walls as well. When you get your Delta 400 or any other shower wall. FOLLOW THE INTRUCTIONS to prevent running into any kind of problems!! read read read......
The gaps between the 3 walls can they be caulked shut or does it have a purpose? I just moved to a new apartment and I have seen roaches going in those spaces so I want to caulk it so they don't have a place to hide would that cause any issues ?

@@antoniobautista1683 Lol- yeah. I spotted the spelling error you made 'INTRUCTIONS' and it made me think of someone shouting in a foreign language. lol
If not installed correctly the caulk becomes loose and just falls off. I just had this happen. Had someone come in to do the work and now I have to figure out how to stop the bottom from moving...
This little ruclips.net/user/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Don't do it this way. There is a lot missing. Not the best idea to install a shower without a moisture barrier. Also the tub needs to be set properly with a cement setting underneath. Fiberglass is strong but over time it will break. Levels are a must. Level your tub to ensure flow. Caulking is missing between the panels... don't follow this guy. Your home will be destroyed. Go on this old house. You will get better info.
This is only part 6. Obviously you did not check other parts of my bathroom renovation. Check my other videos and you will find information you are looking for. I did install Bathtubs and Surround Walls like this 5 years ago and I did not have any leaks or any other problems. just FYI Here is a link you have missed: How to Silicone Your Bath like a PRO | DIY - Part 9 ruclips.net/video/kNQjM7UlnQo/видео.html
@@CreativeProcessDIY silicon will not support the weight of someone in the shower. That is what I meant. Caulking like a pro is not the same as doing the job right. I'd like to see the way the tub holds up 5 yrs from now. Wouldn't be surprised to see it cracked.
Dude you’re the one that don’t know what you’re talking about. The tub comes with flow built in, as for setting it in concrete? Maybe if it was a 10,000 bath install. A few pieces of tar paper underneath will take care of these “run of the mill” cheap delta tubs. Gzz, give the guy a break…
Call me a dunce but why does he have insulation behind the surround? I can understand to lessen drafts and added warmth but doesn't he need a backer or durock board to absorb moisture? Or just plywood to glue it to? I'm the epitomy of an amateur for any home project but to me it seems like obvious mishaps. I'm just saying 🤷
Thanks, I've seen another video installation done the same way. I done have a kit so no instructions to read. So you're saying backer board or durock isn't necessarily needed for the surround since no grout is used. What about moisture build up for mold? I have 2 bathrooms to change. A walk in shower on 1st floor. and just surround on the bsmt bathroom that has the tub.
this is how NOT to do it video,NO sealant , no glue.Can not use cauking, it will start leaking.Man DO NOT do things you can not do.This is totaly wrong way of doing it.
Isn't there 2 different styles of wall surround kits? A glue up wall surround and an attach to studs wall surround? One you glue up, the other you screw up Lol 😆

Glad you liked it!
Yes just what I was looking for
Great!
ur still going to need a mans to install it
does it need hardiebacker or any type of waterproofing behind the wall surrounds themselves, before they're screwed into the studs? Or just around the wall surround?
Yes. He's going to have e moisture problems for sure.
No, read manual.
Read instructions before you write a comment. This is why you silicone all seams! This is ONLY part 6 (not the entire install)!
@@CreativeProcessDIY if you silicone all seams , can water get through the silicone if it's not kept up or done the right way? which can lead to water behind the walls? I ask this because when i was looking for a company to do mine all of them mentioned they were going to put some type of green board behind the wall surrounds.

Can you apply the tube as an overlay, or apply over an old tub.?
Que bonito. Gracias
Hi, do you still like this tub? Any issues with leaking?
I’d apply glue to the studs liberally and then put the walls I’m and screw the down. The will keep the walls from moving and flexing when you touch the walls.

I would recommend to follow instructions of the manufacturer.
Great info

@antoniobautista1683 he's really good. Let him be, lol😂
Where did you purchase this panels
local hardware store
Which brand of the wall surroundings did you use? Thank you!
Delta
no waterproof sheet behind the tub? you are really smart...
tub and surround walls must be attached directly to the studs according to the installation instructions
Around how much much can someone can charge for the installation of this 3pcs project?
I do not know...
The gaps between the 3 walls can they be caulked shut or does it have a purpose? I just moved to a new apartment and I have seen roaches going in those spaces so I want to caulk it so they don't have a place to hide would that cause any issues ?
Spaces between walls MUST be caulked to prevent water going behind the walls.
@@CreativeProcessDIY thank you so much appreciate your response.
Who needs measurements when you can just shim everything. Great job.
Thanks
Lol😂

Do I need to get a permit before to do like you?
please read your states regulations before doing any renovations to your house
How did you secure the bottom of the panel's?
You don't need to secure them. Just caulk
Did the middle wall feel loose because there’s nothing securing it in the bottom?
If not installed correctly the caulk becomes loose and just falls off. I just had this happen. Had someone come in to do the work and now I have to figure out how to stop the bottom from moving...
My middle wall flims in and out. Even with caulk. Now I know why

You absolutely do, I have the same surround and it says to use dap 3.0
