How to Install Lenape Corner Shelves
The task of remodeling or changing a bathroom can be one of the most difficult of home improvement projects. However, the end result is always worth the effort put fourth. A simple addition such as Lenape corner shelves add both convenience and organization to the area without the work of a heavy duty improvement.
What You'll Need:
- Chisel
- Hammer
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Masking tape
- Tile saw
- Bathroom sealant
- Lanape corner shelf assembly
- Use measuring tape to measure the amount of room you’ll need to accommodate the new shelf space. Take out any tile that is already covering the mounting area.
- Both measure and cut into the sheetrock so that it fits into the Lenape corners. Temporarily place the shelves into the space and make a outline around the shelves. Ensure that you mark the specific location they will be located.
- Reinstall any tile that you previously removed up to the line. Make any cuts that are needed in order to make the tile fit back into the newly reduced space.
- Apply masking tape to the outside perimeter of the line you made with the pencil.
- Turn the shelves over so that the rear of the assembly is facing upward. Squeeze out a single bead of bathroom silicone sealant all around the mounting flange which is around a quarter-inch from the edge.
- Install the shelving assembly into place and ensure that it is straight. Use firm and steady pressure to press it into place only after you ensure that it is perfectly straight. During the process, don’t let it slip or move while you are pressing it into place. Continue firmly pressing it into place for at least 30 to 45 seconds.
- Using your dry forefinger, go around the outer edges to smooth and remove excess sealant. Take off the tape and allow it to dry for at least 24 hours before getting it wet. Inspect the sealant seam after it has dried and add sealant if necessary.
