1. Apply surface waterproofing (following manufacturers instructions) over the entire shower floor and walls, with at least 6″ into the non-shower area. 

NOTE: If you are installing the KERB after wall tile,

2. Cut Ebbe Kerb to fit from wall to wall, leaving 3/16” minimum gap at each end to allow for sealant.

Example: If the space measures 40” the Kerb should be cut to 39-5/8”.

Pro Tip: To get an accurate measurement from wall to wall, measure from the left wall and make a mark at 10”, then measure the distance from the right wall to the mark you just made, and add 10” to that number. 

Example: After marking the floor at 10”. The measurement from the other wall to the mark is 32 ½”. You would cut the Kerb to 42 ⅛”. 

3. After Ebbe Kerb is cut, snap End Plugs into place.
4. Chalk or draw a line on the floor where the Kerb will be located.
Note: The Mounting bar sits back 1/16” from the face of the Kerb.

 

Pro Tip: The Kerb can be used as a straight edge to mark the floor

5. Lay out Mounting Bars along the guideline (with a minimum of ⅛” between each Mounting Bar to allow for sealant) and cut final Mounting Bar as needed.
(Keep at least two Mounting Holes in cut Mounting Bar)
5a. Attaching to concrete is best with TapCon or similar 3/16” x 1-¼” flat head screws (not included).

WARNING:

Do not connect the Kerb to the Mounting Bars yet!  

Once attached you will be able to adjust the Kerb side to side, but not remove the Kerb.

WARNING:

Install the Kerb when the sealant is wet. 

If the sealant dries before installing the Kerb, it will harden, making it impossible for the Kerb to fit over to the Mounting Bars.

9. After the Mounting Bars are attached to the substrate. Apply a generous bead of urethane sealant to the top of the fastened Mounting Bars and up each wall 1”.  

Install the Kerb:
Foot of Kerb should be facing the dry side of your installation.

Starting at one end of the Mounting Bars begin to push the Kerb down over the Mounting Bar until it “clicks” into place.

11. Install tile at floors and walls.

12. Kerb Cap and/or Glass Installation:
      (Install Cap where there is no glass)

12a. Glass Installation

Glass supports (provided with your Kerb) help align and cushion ⅜” glass within the Kerb Channel.

Fold the Glass Support around the bottom of your glass.  (If it is tight, fold it the other direction). Set Supports inside the Kerb Channel.  Add glass. Add a continuous bead of sealant on each side of the glass where it meets the Kerb Channel.

Jamb Detail:

To eliminate the possibility of water migration, the wall tile must be installed with sealant at the jambs before installation of the KERB. If sealant is not included in these areas there is a risk of water migration behind or under the wall tile.
