The process to install the 1, 2 or 3 or 4 pc units is simple. Unfortunately, removal of existing wall coverings is required. The nailing flange is to be attached directly to a stud. I have attached the Lasco tub/shower unit as an example which depicts the installation with pictures. So depending on what you are installing, the drywall will be placed over the nailing flange and then you can finish your project with anything you like. Usually the area between the fiberglass walls and drywall can be caulked with 100% silicone after you have applied your wall finish.

Hopefully your answers will get answered by the site.
