How to Install a Thru Insert Kit: A Step-by-Step Guide
Many families in Canada have decided to transform their regular bathtubs into walk-through showers. This process will make your shower much more comfortable, accessible, and functional, especially if you have elderly family members, those with mobility issues, or temporary injuries. However, since it is a 100% DIY process, some people may feel unsure. Here we will explain step by step how to install your kit.
How to Take Measurements?
The first step and, without a doubt, one of the most important, is measuring the bathtub. You need to take a measuring tape and measure the bathtub to select the kit that best fits your needs, whether you want a smaller access or a quite wide one. On The Step Through Store website, you will find kits of different sizes, from the smallest to the largest. Additionally, you will find a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to take all the measurements to ensure everything fits your needs.
Mark the Insert location and Cover the Drain
Once you have taken the measurements and found the kit that best fits your family’s needs, it is then necessary to accurately mark the insert location, as that is where you will install the kit’s tub access. Afterwards, it is essential that you cover the entire drain. For this, it is essential that you either do it by taping over open drains or closing the push and pull ones.
Make the Cuts
Now that you have all the measurements well defined and have selected the location, you must begin with the most important step of the entire process. To make the cuts on the bathtub, it is necessary to use an electric saw. To ensure your safety, it is very important that you wear gloves, goggles, and ear protection. You have to make the cuts according to the size of the tub access you are going to install. On The Step Through Store website, you will find detailed instructions on how to make the cuts to install your tub-to-shower conversion kit.
Insert the Tub Access
After the cuts have been made on the regular tub, it is time to install the tub access. First, you must secure the supports on both sides and also on the base. Then you can take the insert for step-through access and place it in the area that has been cut. For this, you will need to use high-quality adhesive and then press to ensure that the insert is properly fitted. Once you have done this, you will have installed the new access to your shower. You will have a much more comfortable and safe space for the whole family. Visit our website and follow all the step-by-step instructions we have for installing the step-through access.
