Ensure the wall surface is completely flat, dry, and clean. Use an appropriate, strong waterproof adhesive and apply sufficient pressure during installation.
Gaps between panels
Ensure precise cutting. Use appropriate trims and sealants to fill any minor gaps and maintain a watertight seal.
Surface scratches or damage
Clean the area gently with soapy water. For deeper scratches, consider minor repair compounds or panel replacement if severe.
