2.Tile Redi - Redi Niche™ Installation Guide

1. Measure distance between vertical studs (studs usually on 16 inch centers)
2. Measure and cut top and bottom horizontal support brackets to a length which permits
   each of them to run between, and be fastened to, both vertical studs.
3. Level and mechanically fasten bottom horizontal support bracket to both of the adjacent
   vertical studs.

   adjacent vertical studs so that the vertical dimension between the horizontal support
   brackets matches the vertical dimension of the predrilled fastening holes on the Redi
   Niche.
5. Please note: If the distance between the vertical studs is greater than the size of the
   Redi Niche™, you will need to attach additional vertical framing to one or both of the
   vertical studs to accommodate the size of the Redi Niche.
   
6. Place the Redi Niche™ in between the support brackets.
7. Level and mechanically fastened Redi Niche™ using one framing screw in each predrilled
   hole.

   industry standards.
