The Aquabord Shower Wall Panels in Calcatta Grigio are designed for homeowners seeking a modern, classy, and exceptionally durable bathroom upgrade. Offering a completely waterproof and hygienic surface that's simple to install without grout, these panels provide a significant aesthetic and practical advantage over traditional tiles. While they offer a tough and virtually maintenance-free finish, the initial cost might be higher than some conventional tiling options.

Yes, the Aquabord panels are 100% waterproof and designed for wet room environments, making them suitable for steam showers. Ensure all edges and joints are properly sealed.
Yes, you can install Aquabord panels over existing tiles provided the tiles are securely fixed, the surface is clean, dry, and free from mold or mildew. You may need to lightly abrade glossy tiles to improve adhesion. Use a suitable adhesive for this application.
You will need a tape measure, spirit level, pencil, sharp utility knife or fine-toothed saw for cutting, a notched trowel for adhesive, a sealant gun, and a damp cloth for cleaning.
Measure and mark the fixture location precisely. Use a drill with a hole saw attachment for clean circular cuts or a sharp utility knife for other shapes. Always ensure cut edges are smooth and sealed.
Aquabord PVC panels come with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
No, the panels are designed with a finished surface and are not intended to be painted or decorated. Attempting to do so may void the guarantee and affect the waterproof properties.
Simply wipe down the panels with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to maintain the finish.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use the recommended type and amount of waterproof adhesive. Ensure adequate pressure is applied during installation and the adhesive has sufficient curing time.
Use a sharp fine-toothed saw or a utility knife with a new blade for clean cuts. Score the panel multiple times for thicker cuts. Practice on a scrap piece first.
Double-check that all edges and joints have been properly sealed with a high-quality bathroom sealant. Ensure any gaps are completely filled and the sealant has cured fully before exposing to water.
Ensure the panel is fully supported by the adhesive. For larger panels or specific wall types, consider additional mechanical fixings (screws with sealant caps) if recommended for your installation. Ensure the hollow core is not compromised during cutting or handling.
Setup:
Compatibility:
Aquabord panels are designed for direct application onto waterproof substrates such as moisture-resistant plasterboard, existing tiles (properly prepared), or directly onto brickwork or concrete after priming. They are compatible with most standard bathroom sealants and adhesives. Ensure compatibility with any specific shower tray or enclosure systems you are using.
Care:
Clean the panels 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. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
