FAQs
Is this panel compatible with all 1700mm baths?
It is designed for standard 1700mm rectangular baths, but you should check that your bath framework allows for front panel mounting.
Can I paint this panel a different color?
The panel comes with a finished polyurea coating, and it is not recommended to paint over it as adhesion may be poor.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a measuring tape, a fine-tooth saw, a spirit level, and silicone sealant.
Does the panel include a mounting kit?
Mounting hardware is typically supplied by the bath installer or chosen based on your specific bath brand requirements.
How do I clean the Matt Grey surface?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that could scratch the matt finish.
Troubleshooting
Panel appears slightly too long for the space
Use a fine-tooth saw to carefully trim the excess from the edge, then sand the cut edge lightly for a smooth finish.
Water pooling at the base of the panel
Ensure a consistent bead of high-quality, anti-fungal silicone sealant is applied along the base where the panel meets the floor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic carpentry tools, such as a fine-tooth saw for trimming the PVC to size. Before cutting, measure the height from the floor to the underside of the bath rim at multiple points to account for uneven flooring. Ensure the bath legs are level before fitting the panel. For cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid harsh chemical solvents, as these may dull the matt grey finish or damage the polyurea protective layer over time.
