        Step 1: Place the First Piece

        Before hanging the slate, decide which pieces need to go in which order. Carefully, lift the first piece of slate and hang it on the wall bracket. While lifting, push up the water disperser so it sits right on top of the slate.

        Step 2: Hang the Copper

        Hang the copper "curtain" on the wall bracket. This will prevent water from splashing behind the wall.

        Step 3: Adjust the Water Disperser Bar

        Adjust the water disperser bar. Make sure it’s firmly seated behind the bracket between the melamine and the steel. The front should sit snugly on the beveled edge of the slate.
