FAQs

Are these panels suitable for a full shower enclosure?

Yes, Proclad Aquabord panels are designed for wet areas, including full shower enclosures, due to their 100% waterproof properties and seamless joint system.

Do I need special tools to cut the panels?

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.

What is the best way to clean the light grey marble gloss finish?

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.

Can I install these panels over existing tiles?

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.

How long is the guarantee on these panels?

The Proclad Aquabord panels come with a 10-year guarantee.

Do I need to use sealant with the tongue and groove joints?

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.

What is the thickness of the panels?

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.

Troubleshooting

Panels not fitting tightly

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.

Adhesive not holding panels securely

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.

Scratches on the gloss surface

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scratches may be buffed out carefully with a plastic polish, but deep scratches are permanent.

Water seeping through joints

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before installation.
  2. Cut panels to size using appropriate tools for PVC.
  3. Apply a suitable waterproof adhesive to the wall or the back of the panel as per adhesive instructions.
  4. Insert the tongue of one panel into the groove of the next, ensuring a tight fit.

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.
