Where can I buy the compatible trims?

How do I clean the White Sparkle finish?

Troubleshooting
Panels are difficult to join.
Ensure there is no debris in the tongue and groove channels. Check that panels are cut square. Slight adjustment of the angle might be needed during joining.
Water ingress at joints.
Ensure sufficient adhesive was used and that the tongue and groove are fully engaged. Check that a suitable waterproof sealant was applied within the groove before joining or at edges if necessary. Ensure compatible trims are correctly installed and sealed.
Surface appears scratched.
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out using a non-abrasive plastic polish. For deeper scratches, panel replacement might be necessary.
Panel is cut incorrectly.
Re-measure carefully and use a fine-toothed saw or sharp utility knife for clean cuts. It is advisable to cut panels in a controlled environment and dry-fit before final adhesive application.
