  1. 01

    Snap on the profile

    Match the profile to the board thickness. Place the short front leg against the face of the drywall, align the edges, and snap it on. Don’t pry the legs apart or slide it on from the end.

  2. 02

    Hang and fasten the drywall

    Lift the panel into place and hold it tight against the floor track while fastening it to the studs. No additional screws or glue are needed to attach the profile.

  3. 03

    Install the base

    The profile gives the finished base continuous backing. Use a wall-base adhesive compatible with both the base and Waterguard.
