Room Temperature

Allow the SoterraSlate panels and sealants to adjust to room

temperature for at least six hours before installation. The panels

should be installed at temperatures not less than 65° F. Panels

should not be installed in areas where the temperature may drop

below freezing (32° F). Failure to follow this recommendation

could adversely affect the silicone sealants which holds the

panels to the wall. If the panels are not correctly adhered to the

walls, they may fall off, causing possible injury to someone in or

around the shower enclosure.

Grab Bars

We recommend that shower compartments be equipped with

support grab bars that comply with the most recent edition of

ANSI-A117.1 requirements. Grab bars must be anchored to

structural support (wall studs) behind the panels. Do not rely on

the panels only for grab bar support! WARNING: Indicates a

potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in serious injury or death.

Eye Protection

Be sure to use all personal protective equipment to ensure your

own safety. To avoid eye injury, always wear protective glasses

with side shields when using power tools. Also, make sure no one

else can be injured by flying particles when using power tools.

Solvents Hazard

Follow all manufacturer’s safety instructions for silicone sealants

and denatured alcohol. Alcohol vapors are both flammable and

hazardous to breathe. Silicone vapors may irritate eyes and nose.

Personal injury can result from improperly handling or use of

products such as denatured alcohol. Always follow the

manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe use of these

products. Ventilate any work area before beginning to apply

silicone sealants, cleaning agents, or solvents.

Fumes Hazard

The fumes from the silicone and solvents used by the installer

can be harmful if used in an unventilated room. Always work in

a well-ventilated area. To keep the area well-ventilated, open

windows and use exhaust fans. If adequate ventilation is not

achievable or

practical, use respiratory protective equipment.

Dust Hazard

When cutting or drilling the SoterraSlate product, use a dust

collection method which prevents dust particles from going into

the air. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Always use an

OSHA approved dust mask when cutting, drilling, or sanding

SoterraSlate products.



Precautions must be taken when working with Slate Veneer

due to the fiberglass composition of the backing materials.

ALWAYS use the proper type gloves, goggles, and dust

mask when cutting Slate Veneer. When using a saw ALWAYS

be sure to take proper precautions to cover skin, eyes and

lungs from fiberglass dust. When cutting Slate Veneer

properly filter equipment exhausts when cutting with saws,

grinders, or sanders. AVOID BREATHING SILICA DUST. This

product when cut, drilled, or abraded produces dust

containing Free Silica which may cause cancer or delayed

lung injury (Silicosis) if inhaled. Work outdoors, in a well

ventilated area, or use mechanical ventilation. Industry

standards recommend a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator

for this type of material. If in dusty areas or where airborne

dust exceeds PEL wear NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.

This product contains one or more chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer. See Material Safety Data

Sheet for detailed information.

Safety Guidelines

WARNING: Continued

Power Tool Hazard

To prevent personal injury or possible death, always follow the

electrical safety recommendations of the power tool’s

manufacturer. Do not use power tools in an unsafe manner.

Power tools should only be connected to a circuit protected by a

ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI).

Shock Hazard

Never use electric power tools around water, condensation, or

other liquids. Electric shock can cause severe burns, significant

injuries, and even death. If an extension cord is required, always

use an OSHA approved extension cord. Power cords should only

be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit

interrupter (GFI).

Electrical Shock Hazard

Contacting live electrical wiring with power tools or hand tools can

cause serious injury or death. Make sure all related circuit

breakers are turned OFF. Test for live circuits or wiring inside any

wall where installation of the SoterraSlate product requires cutting

into a wall.

Electrocution Hazard

Water and other liquids conduct electric current and can create a

short circuit, resulting in injury or death. Keep all liquids away

from electrical cords and power tools. DO NOT create a short

circuit between a source of electricity and a liquid by being in

contact with both simultaneously.
