Wall widthsMeasure each wall face that needs Corian panel coverage.

Panel heightRecord finished height from pan, tub, floor, or base to the top of panel.

Cutout locationsValve, shower head, niche, window, bench, shelf, and feature openings.

Seams and trimExposed edges, inside corners, outside corners, and trim expectations.

Measure the finished wall layout

Start With Each Wall The Panels Need To Cover

Custom shower wall panels should be reviewed from finished wall dimensions, not a rough guess. Measure each wall face, finished panel height, exposed edges, trim needs, and any conditions that affect panel layout.

If the project has drawings, send them with photos and project ZIP. If you are measuring the room, label each wall clearly as back, left, right, return, or feature wall so cutouts, seams, service area, and freight needs are easy to review.

Core details

The Wall Builder Needs Panel Sizes, Cutouts, And Notes

Wall width, panel height, valve location, niche or feature openings, seams, trim details, and project ZIP drive the review. Add photos when plumbing, corners, benches, windows, or out-of-square walls could affect fabrication or freight.

Step by step

How To Measure For Custom Shower Wall Panels

Label each wall

Use simple labels such as back wall, left wall, right wall, return wall, or feature wall. Keep the same labels in photos and notes.

Measure wall widths

Measure the finished width of each wall face in inches. Check top, middle, and bottom if the walls may be out of square.

Measure panel height

Measure from the finished base, pan, tub, or floor to the desired top of panel. Note if the height changes around windows, ceilings, or soffits.

Mark cutouts

Measure valve, shower head, niche, window, bench, shelf, and feature cutout locations from clear reference edges.

Note seams and edges

Call out exposed edges, outside corners, trim, inside corners, and any seam preferences so the wall package can be reviewed.

Send photos or plans

Include photos of the full opening, plumbing wall, corners, pan or tub base, project ZIP, and any unusual framing conditions.

Good measuring habits

Small Details That Prevent Review Delays

Use wall labelsMatch your notes, photos, and builder entries with the same back, left, and right wall names.

Measure more than onceCheck widths in multiple spots when the room may be out of square.

Use reference edgesMeasure cutouts from fixed edges and label which edge each measurement uses.

Tell us what is uncertainIf framing, plumbing, or panel height may change, include that uncertainty in the review notes.

Questions

Custom Shower Wall Panels FAQ

Should I measure rough framing or finished shower wall size?

Use finished dimensions whenever possible. If only rough framing is available, note that clearly so LuxaBath can review wall board, pan, trim, and final fit before production.

How do I measure valve and niche locations?

Measure from clear reference edges such as the left wall edge, right wall edge, finished pan, or floor, then label which reference edges were used.

Do I need to know seam locations?

Not always. Add seam preferences or handling concerns if you know them, and LuxaBath can review the final panel layout before production.

Can I send plans instead of measuring everything online?

Yes. Send drawings, photos, project ZIP, and field notes when the shower wall package needs LuxaBath review before every detail is entered.
