Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare Surfaces: Ensure the walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust or grease. Minor imperfections should be filled and smoothed.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the required area and carefully cut panels to size using appropriate tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw or jigsaw). Always test cuts in an inconspicuous area first.
- Apply Adhesive: Use a suitable waterproof panel adhesive. Apply it evenly to the back of the panel or the wall surface, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Install Panel: Firmly press the panel into place, ensuring a secure fit. Use temporary supports if necessary.
- Seal Edges: Apply a silicone sealant around the edges and where panels meet to ensure a watertight seal.
Compatibility:
The Britwall panels can be installed over most sound surfaces, including plasterboard, existing tiles (ensure they are well-adhered and smooth), and concrete.
Care:
- Clean the panels regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions.
- Avoid using abrasive pads, scouring powders, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface finish.
- Wipe down after each use to prevent water spotting.
