FAQs

Can I install Splashwall panels over existing tiles?

Yes, Splashwall panels can often be installed over existing tiles, provided the original tiles are securely fixed, the surface is level, and properly cleaned and prepared. Ensure adequate adhesive is used.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will typically need a tape measure, level, fine-toothed saw or jigsaw for cutting, a sealant gun, and a spreader for adhesive. Always refer to the specific installation guide for a complete list.

How do I clean the grey tile effect surface?

Clean using a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.

Is the Splashwall kit suitable for a wet room?

Yes, Splashwall panels are designed for wet environments like shower areas and bathtubs. Proper sealing is crucial for full waterproofing.

What is the expected lifespan of Splashwall panels?

With proper installation and care, Splashwall panels are designed for long-term use in bathrooms, offering a durable alternative to traditional tiles.

Can I drill through the panels for accessories?

It is generally not recommended to drill through the panels, especially for heavy items, as this can compromise the waterproof integrity and potentially damage the material. It is best to use adhesive-backed bathroom accessories or consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Panels do not adhere properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the correct type and amount of adhesive as recommended by Splashwall. Allow adequate drying time before exposing to moisture.

Gaps between panels are visible

Ensure panels were cut accurately and installed level. Adjust positioning if possible. Use a suitable sealant to fill any minor gaps, ensuring it matches the panel color or is clear.

Surface appears dull or scratched

Avoid using abrasive cleaners. For minor scuffs, try a plastic polish specifically designed for similar materials. Check cleaning instructions for recommended solutions.

Water is seeping behind panels

Check all sealant lines around edges, corners, and fixtures. Reapply sealant where necessary to create a complete waterproof barrier. Ensure panels are fitted tightly together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the existing wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Minor imperfections should be smoothed out.
  2. Measure and cut panels to size using appropriate tools for composite materials. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for cutting.
  3. Apply a suitable adhesive (as recommended by Splashwall) to the back of the panels or the wall surface.
  4. Press panels firmly into place, ensuring a tight fit against adjacent panels and any corners.
  5. Use sealant around edges, corners, and where the panels meet fixtures to ensure a waterproof finish.

Compatibility:

  • Splashwall panels are designed for use on prepared wall surfaces, including plasterboard, concrete, or directly over existing tiles (if suitable).
  • Ensure compatibility with your chosen adhesive and sealant. Consult product manuals for recommendations.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the panel surface.
  • Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
