The Proclad Aquabord panels are designed for wall applications in wet areas. Ceiling installation is not recommended without specific engineering guidance and additional support structures.
A fine-tooth saw (hand saw or power saw) is recommended for clean cuts. Always measure twice and cut once, and ensure the panel is securely supported during cutting.
Proclad offers a 10-year guarantee on these panels, indicating they are designed for long-term durability when installed and maintained correctly.
Yes, provided the existing tiles are flat, securely adhered, and the surface is sound. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive.
Measure the total width and height of the walls you intend to cover. Divide these dimensions by the width and height of a single panel, accounting for the tongue and groove overlap, to determine the number of panels required. It's always advisable to purchase an extra panel for cuts and potential mistakes.
While fully waterproof, continuous high-temperature steam exposure might affect the adhesive or sealant over time. They are best suited for standard shower and wet room environments.
Check for obstructions in the tongue or groove, ensure the previous panel is properly aligned and seated, or trim any excess adhesive or debris.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the recommended amount and type of adhesive, and allow adequate curing time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Re-seal the edges with a suitable silicone sealant designed for bathrooms. Ensure all joints are properly sealed during installation.
Minor scratches may be buffed out with a plastic polish designed for automotive use. For deeper scratches, panel replacement might be necessary.
Setup:
Compatibility:
These panels are designed for interior wet room applications. They can be installed over most solid substrates, including plasterboard, existing tiles (if flat and sound), or concrete. Ensure compatibility with your chosen adhesive and any sealing compounds required for edges and corners.
Care:
To maintain the panels' appearance and hygiene, regularly wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth. Mild, non-abrasive cleaners can be used if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring agents that could damage the gloss finish or PVC material. Ensure any sealant around edges remains intact.
