FAQs

Is the plinth attached or separate?

The Flauto Bath Panel + Plinth is a two-piece system that includes an integrated plinth for a complete finish.

Can this panel be painted?

While the panel has a gloss white finish, painting PVC can be challenging and may not adhere well without specific preparation and primer. It is generally recommended to use as-is.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need measuring tape, a pencil, and a cutting tool such as a fine-tooth saw or a sharp utility knife. Appropriate fixings for securing the panel to your bath frame or wall are also required.

How is the panel secured?

The panel is usually secured using adhesive clips, screws, or other appropriate fixings that attach it to the bath's frame or the surrounding wall. These are often sold separately.

Can I use this with a freestanding bath?

This panel is designed for standard built-in baths. For freestanding baths, alternative solutions might be more suitable.

What are the dimensions of the panel?

The product is adjustable and designed to fit various bath sizes. Specific maximum and minimum dimensions would depend on the exact configuration and adjustment range.

Is the gloss finish slippery when wet?

The panel is vertical and not a walking surface; therefore, slipperiness is not a concern for its intended use.

Troubleshooting

Panel does not fit flush

Re-measure and adjust the cut or assembly of the two-piece panel and plinth. Ensure the bath frame is level.

Panel appears warped

Ensure the panel is not over-tightened during installation and is adequately supported. Check for extreme temperature fluctuations during installation.

Difficulty cutting the PVC

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw or a sharp utility knife. Score the surface deeply before cutting for a cleaner edge.

Scuff marks on gloss finish

Gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the dimensions of the bath area needing to be covered.
  2. If necessary, cut the PVC panel to size using appropriate tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw or utility knife). Be sure to measure twice and cut once.
  3. Assemble the two-piece panel and plinth, adjusting for a snug fit around the bath.
  4. Secure the panel to the bath frame or surrounding wall using suitable fixings (e.g., adhesive clips, screws - not typically included). Ensure it is level and stable.

Compatibility:

The Flauto panel is designed to fit most standard bath sizes due to its adjustable nature. Ensure your bath has a suitable frame or wall structure to which the panel can be affixed.

Care:

Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the gloss finish.
