Abstract
A bathtub wall surround kit and seals therefor. The kit includes a pair of end panels and a pair of side panels all of approximately uniform dimension for compact nesting during shipment and the side panels are adapted to be horizontally disposed with the upper panel in overlying relation to the lower panel. The kit also includes a pair of vertical seals for joining the confronting edges of the end panels and the side panels in substantially watertight fashion and a plurality of base seals for joining the bottom edges of the end panels and the lower one of the side panels to a rim of a bathtub in substantially watertight fashion. The kit further includes a pair of corner seals for joining a portion of the confronting edges of the end panels and the lower side panel in substantially watertight fashion and the corner seals are also adapted to join a portion of the bottom edges of the end panels and the lower side panel adjacent the confronting edges to the rim of the bathtub in substantially watertight fashion. With this arrangement, the bathtub wall surround kit and seals therefor eliminate the need for the installer to caulk the joints during or after installation.
