ABSTRACT:
A bathtub wall surround kit is disclosed. The kit includes a plurality of panels adapted to be secured to the walls of a bathtub opening with each of the panels having a vertical edge adapted to be disposed in overlapping relation to a corresponding vertical edge of the next adjacent of the panels. It also includes a plurality of vertical seals for joining the corresponding vertical edges of the overlapping panels in substantially watertight fashion where each of the vertical seals includes a panel-receiving channel formed by a pair of spaced apart walls joined by a channel-defining bottom wall along with a seal adapted to cooperate with the overlapping panels. The kit further includes a continuous base seal for joining the bottom edges of the panels to a rim of a bathtub in substantially watertight fashion with the base seal including a wall portion adapted to be secured to the walls of a bathtub opening and a base portion adapted to be disposed in sealing engagement with the rim of the bathtub together with at least one downwardly and outwardly projecting flexible finger associated with each of the wall and base portions. With this arrangement, the bathtub wall surround kit eliminates the need for the installer to caulk the joints during or after installation.
