Product Information
Full details
The Halite 1500mm Waterproof Bath Front Panel is an ideal solution for homeowners and renovators seeking a long-lasting, moisture-resistant alternative to traditional MDF bath panels. Engineered from high-quality, UV-stable expanded vinyl, it provides a sleek, high-gloss aesthetic while ensuring superior resistance to water damage and warping; however, users should note that while it is trimmable, it requires careful measurement to ensure a clean finish against specific bathtub dimensions.

FAQs
Is this panel compatible with all 1500mm baths?
Yes, as long as the bath height does not exceed the panel height, it can be trimmed to fit most standard 1500mm bathtubs.
Can I use this panel in a wet room?
Yes, the waterproof nature of the Foamboard makes it highly suitable for high-humidity environments like wet rooms.
Does the panel come with fixing clips?
Installation hardware is generally provided by the bathroom installer depending on your specific tub frame, but ensure you have standard bath panel clips ready.
How do I cut the panel without damaging the gloss?
Use a fine-toothed saw or a jigsaw with a laminate-cutting blade and apply masking tape over the cut line to prevent chipping the surface.
Is it safe for children's bathrooms?
Yes, it is formaldehyde-free, making it a safe, non-toxic choice for family bathrooms.
What should I do if the panel is slightly too short in height?
It is recommended to install a discrete timber plinth or kickboard at the base to close any remaining gap before attaching the panel.
Troubleshooting
Panel is too long for the bath area
Measure the required length precisely and use a fine-toothed saw to carefully trim the end of the panel.
Surface looks dull after cleaning
Ensure you are using only mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths to preserve the UV-stable high-gloss finish.
Panel vibrates or feels loose
Check that the fixing clips are properly engaged or that the timber frame is securely braced against the back of the panel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a tape measure, spirit level, and a fine-toothed saw. First, measure the height and length of the exposed area under your bathtub. Mark these dimensions onto the back of the panel. When cutting, ensure you support the panel fully to avoid splintering the gloss finish. Once cut, the panel can be secured using standard bath panel clips or by fixing to a timber frame built under the bath rim.
For ongoing care, simply wipe the panel down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the high-gloss UV finish over time. Periodically check that the panel remains securely fixed to the frame to ensure water does not bypass the seal at the bottom edge.
