FAQs
Can I install this behind a gas hob?
No, acrylic panels are not heat resistant enough for direct exposure to open flames from gas hobs.
How do I cut the panel to size?
You can cut the panel using fine-toothed hand saws or power tools; always mask the cutting area to prevent splintering.
Is the panel waterproof?
Yes, it is highly moisture resistant, making it perfect for bathroom zones and kitchen splashbacks.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will generally need a measuring tape, spirit level, fine-toothed saw, and a suitable high-grab adhesive.
How do I clean the matt finish?
Use a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and mild liquid soap; avoid all abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Panel appears loose or peeling
Check that the correct adhesive was used and that the wall surface was primed/de-greased properly prior to application.
Surface marks or light scratches
Use a specialized acrylic polishing cream or mild non-abrasive cleaner to gently buff out minor surface imperfections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the wall surface is clean, flat, and dry. The panels can be measured and cut to size using standard woodworking tools if necessary. Apply a high-quality neutral-cure silicone or recommended adhesive to the back of the panel according to the manufacturer instructions. For maintenance, use only a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can permanently damage or dull the matt finish of the acrylic.
