FAQs

Are these panels suitable for a complete wet room enclosure?

Yes, these panels are designed for showering spaces and wet rooms and offer a waterproof solution. Ensure all edges and joints are properly sealed with waterproof silicone for complete protection.

Can I install these panels over existing tiles?

Yes, provided the existing tiles are securely adhered, smooth, and the surface is clean and dry. You may need to use a stronger adhesive suitable for bonding to tile surfaces.

What tools are needed for cutting the panels?

A fine-toothed saw (like a handsaw or jigsaw with a fine blade) or a sharp utility knife can be used for cutting. Ensure you have a straight edge guide for clean cuts.

How do I clean the matt white marble effect finish?

Clean the panels with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid any abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.

What is the expected lifespan of these panels?

When installed correctly and maintained according to care instructions, PVC bathroom panels offer a durable and long-lasting finish, typically outlasting traditional tiled surfaces in wet environments.

Do I need to use a special adhesive?

Yes, it is crucial to use a high-grab, waterproof adhesive specifically recommended for PVC wall panels. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Panel not sticking firmly

Ensure the wall surface is completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-grab, waterproof adhesive suitable for PVC panels and apply evenly. Check for any obstructions preventing the panel from lying flat.

Seams are not tight

Ensure panels are cut accurately and handled with care. Some panel systems may have a tongue-and-groove or click-lock system; ensure these are fully engaged. Use a rubber mallet gently if necessary to secure the join.

Water ingress at edges

Re-apply waterproof silicone sealant around all edges, corners, and around any fittings. Ensure the sealant is applied correctly and allowed to cure fully before exposing to water.

Panel surface scratched

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor surface scratches, a very fine polish might help, but severe scratches may require panel replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the existing wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Remove any old tiles, adhesive, or wallpaper.
  2. Measurement & Cutting: Measure the wall area accurately and cut panels to size using a fine-toothed saw or a utility knife. Always measure twice and cut once.
  3. Adhesive Application: Apply a suitable high-grab, waterproof adhesive specifically designed for PVC panels to the back of the panel or the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Installation: Press the panels firmly into place, ensuring a tight fit. Use a spirit level to maintain alignment. Stagger the joints if using multiple panels across a large area.
  5. Sealing: Apply a waterproof silicone sealant to all edges, corners, and around fixtures like taps and shower heads to ensure a completely watertight seal.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for direct application onto most flat, solid wall surfaces including plasterboard, existing tiles (if smooth and well-adhered), and concrete.
  • Not recommended for use on flexible or uneven surfaces without proper preparation and backing.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface finish.
  • Wipe away any excess water or soap residue promptly to maintain the panel's pristine appearance.
