Troubleshooting
Panel is not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Reapply a fresh coat of the recommended adhesive, ensuring even coverage. Check that the correct type of adhesive is being used for aluminium panels.
Difficulty cutting the panel accurately
Use a fine-tooth saw or score the panel deeply with a sharp utility knife and then snap. Ensure your cutting tools are sharp and suitable for aluminium. Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves.
Surface appears dull or scratched after cleaning
You may have used an abrasive cleaner or tool. Switch to a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. For minor scratches, some metal polishes might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Panel does not sit flush against the wall
Check for any unevenness on the wall surface. Ensure adequate adhesive has been applied. If the wall is uneven, consider using a filler before installation or adding extra adhesive in low spots.
