Full details
Proclad Clay PVC Wall Cladding Panels are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a durable, waterproof, and hygienic wall covering solution for wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and showers.

A potential caveat is the need for flat, dry walls for proper adhesion, and the availability of edge trim for a finished look should be considered.

What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a fine-toothed saw or sharp utility knife for cutting, a measuring tape, a spirit level, and a suitable adhesive.
How do I clean and maintain the panels?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Do I need grout with these panels?

What is the expected lifespan of these panels?

Are these panels suitable for commercial use?

Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering well
Ensure the wall surface is completely flat, dry, and clean. Reapply adhesive, ensuring even coverage.
Cutting is difficult or chipping
Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife. Make slow, controlled cuts for a cleaner edge. Ensure the panel is well-supported during cutting.
Visible gaps at edges
Ensure panels are installed flush against each other. Use the recommended Proclad edge trims to cover any minor gaps and provide a finished look.
Surface appears dull after cleaning
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is flat, dry, and free from dust or grease. Panels can be cut to size using a fine-toothed saw or utility knife. Apply a suitable adhesive (sold separately) to the back of the panel or directly to the wall, then press firmly into place. Use edge trims for a seamless finish at corners and edges.
Compatibility: These panels are designed for interior use in domestic settings, particularly in wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and showers. They adhere best to plasterboard, existing tiles (if flat and sound), and other smooth, stable surfaces.
Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface. A simple wipe-down is sufficient to maintain the hygienic and clean appearance.
