The Proclad Aquabord Tongue and Groove Light Grey Marble Gloss Shower Panel is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to easily update their bathroom or shower areas with a stylish, waterproof, and hygienic surface. Its key benefit is providing the luxurious look of marble without the high cost or weight, combined with a simple, leak-proof installation thanks to its tongue and groove system. A potential caveat is that while installation is straightforward for those with moderate DIY skills, very complex layouts might still benefit from professional advice.

Yes, Proclad Aquabord panels are designed for wet areas, including full shower enclosures, due to their 100% waterproof properties and seamless joint system.
You can cut the panels using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife. Ensure accurate measurements and a steady hand for clean cuts.
The best way to clean is with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly, then dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
It is generally recommended to remove existing tiles for a solid, flat surface. If installing over tiles, ensure they are firmly adhered, the grout lines are filled, and the surface is perfectly flat and clean. A specific primer might be needed.
The Proclad Aquabord panels come with a 10-year guarantee.
The tongue and groove system is designed to create a watertight seal. Sealant is typically not required for joints on the same wall. However, sealant may be necessary at external corners or where panels meet other surfaces.
The product description does not specify exact thickness but notes they are lightweight due to a hollow core, implying a moderate thickness suitable for wall cladding.
Check for any debris in the tongue and groove. Ensure panels are aligned correctly before pressing them together. Gentle tapping with a rubber mallet might help seat them fully.
Ensure the wall surface is completely dry and free from dust or grease. Use the recommended type and amount of adhesive specified for PVC panels. Allow adequate curing time as per adhesive instructions.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scratches may be buffed out carefully with a plastic polish, but deep scratches are permanent.
Confirm that the tongue and groove are fully engaged. If significant gaps persist after installation, consider applying a waterproof sealant specifically designed for PVC joints before the final panel is fitted.

Compatibility:
These panels are designed for use on interior walls in wet areas. They are compatible with most standard bathroom construction materials. Ensure any existing surfaces are suitable for adhesion.
Care:
Clean the panels regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glossy surface. Mild soap can be used if necessary, followed by a rinse with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
