Troubleshooting
Panel is difficult to cut accurately
Use a sharp, fine-tooth circular saw blade designed for laminate or composite materials. Measure carefully and use a guide for straight cuts. Practice on a scrap piece first.
Adhesive is not holding the panel securely
Ensure the wall surface is completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-strength, waterproof adhesive specifically recommended for laminate panels and wall mounting. Apply adhesive evenly and ensure adequate clamping pressure during curing.
Visible seams or gaps after installation
Ensure panels are cut precisely and fitted snugly. For minor gaps, consider using a color-matched silicone sealant suitable for kitchen environments. For larger issues, the panel may need to be re-cut or adjusted.
Surface appears dull or scratched after cleaning
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pads. Stick to soft cloths and mild detergents. If minor scratching occurs, it may be difficult to remove due to the material's nature; focus on gentle cleaning to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This splashback is designed for direct installation onto a suitable wall surface. Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and structurally sound. The panel can be cut to size using appropriate tools for compact laminate, such as a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade. Adhere to the panel using a strong, waterproof adhesive suitable for laminate and wall surfaces. Ensure a snug fit against countertops and cabinets.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard kitchen cabinets and countertops. It is designed to be installed behind standard electric, induction, and gas hobs, as well as sink areas. Ensure adequate ventilation if installed directly behind certain types of cooking appliances, following the appliance manufacturer's guidelines.
Care:
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface finish. Wipe away spills and splatters promptly to prevent staining. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive household cleaner can be used sparingly. Ensure the edges are kept clean and dry.
