FAQs

Can these panels be installed over existing tiles?

Generally, Splashwall panels can be installed over existing tiles provided the existing surface is sound, flat, and properly prepared. It's crucial to ensure the existing tiles are firmly adhered and do not have any loose sections. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned and potentially de-glazed if it's highly glossy. Always consult the specific installation guide for the panel model.

What is the best way to cut the panels?

Use a fine-toothed saw, such as a circular saw or jigsaw, equipped with a blade designed for cutting composite materials. Ensure the panel is securely supported during cutting to prevent splintering and wear safety glasses.

Are these panels suitable for a steam shower?

Splashwall Elite Composite panels are designed for high-moisture environments, including shower enclosures. However, for direct steam shower applications, always confirm the product's specific rating and recommended installation practices with the manufacturer to ensure full suitability.

How do I clean the Matt Bleu Poudre finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid bleach, ammonia, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the matte surface.

What is the warranty period for Splashwall panels?

Warranty details vary by manufacturer and region. Please refer to the product packaging or the official Splashwall website for the most accurate and up-to-date warranty information for your specific purchase.

Can I paint these panels?

Splashwall Elite Composite panels are typically finished in a way that does not require painting and painting may void the warranty or affect the durability. If painting is absolutely necessary, consult the manufacturer for approved methods and paint types, as standard paints may not adhere correctly or withstand bathroom conditions.

Troubleshooting

Panel not adhering properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Verify that the correct adhesive for composite panels is being used and applied evenly according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Matte finish appears dull or scratched

Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools. If minor scratches are present, consult the manufacturer's recommendations for a potential touch-up or polishing solution specifically for matte composite finishes. Clean with a soft cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap.

Water ingress at seams

Ensure panels are fitted tightly together and that appropriate waterproof sealant is used in any necessary joints or around cut-outs, following manufacturer guidelines for sealing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a modern, spa-like bathroom ambiance.
  • Water-resistant and durable composite construction.
  • Faster and simpler installation than traditional tiling.
  • Easy to clean and maintain due to its non-porous surface.
  • Offers a grout-free finish, eliminating common cleaning frustrations.

Cons

  • Requires specific cleaning products to avoid damaging the matte finish.
  • May not offer the same tactile texture as natural stone or tile.
  • Repairing deep scratches or damage can be more complex than replacing a single tile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall substrate is clean, dry, and structurally sound.
  2. Cut panels to size using appropriate tools for composite materials (e.g., fine-toothed saw).
  3. Apply a suitable waterproof adhesive specifically designed for wall panels to the back of the panel or the wall surface.
  4. Press the panel firmly into place, ensuring a snug fit against adjacent panels or edges.
  5. Use recommended fixings or clips if applicable for your installation method.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard bathroom construction materials.
  • Best suited for interior walls in bathrooms, shower enclosures, and wet rooms.
  • Ensure compatibility with any existing plumbing or electrical fixtures that may need to pass through the panels.

Care:

  • Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive pads that can scratch or dull the matte finish.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth.
