Yes, these panels are specifically designed for cladding showering spaces, wet rooms, and general bathroom walls, offering a waterproof finish.
Yes, provided the existing tiles are firmly adhered, smooth, and the surface is properly prepared (clean and dry), these panels can be installed over them.
You will typically need a fine-tooth saw or a sharp, heavy-duty utility knife for cutting. Always measure carefully and consider using a guide for straight cuts.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
The main benefits are a seamless, waterproof, grout-free surface that is easier to clean and maintain, combined with a quicker installation process compared to tiling.
While primarily designed for bathrooms, they can be used in a kitchen splashback area if it does not involve excessive heat or direct contact with cooking surfaces. Ensure good ventilation.
Use a high-grab, waterproof adhesive specifically recommended for PVC panels or wall cladding. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines for application and curing.
Ensure the wall surface is completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the recommended waterproof adhesive and apply it evenly. Press the panel firmly against the wall to ensure good contact.
Use a very fine-tooth saw or a sharp, heavy-duty utility knife with a new blade. Score the panel multiple times for a cleaner cut. Measure twice and cut once, and consider using a straight edge as a guide.
Ensure panels are pushed tightly together during installation. Use a minimal amount of adhesive along the edges that meet to avoid squeeze-out, or use a specific panel sealant designed for this purpose if recommended.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a plastic polish, but prevention is key. Protect the panels during handling and installation.
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, flat, and structurally sound before installation. Panels can be cut to size using a fine-tooth saw or a sharp utility knife. Adhere panels using a suitable waterproof adhesive, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Fit panels tightly together for a seamless finish.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on most interior walls in bathrooms, shower rooms, and wet rooms. Can often be installed over existing tiles if they are smooth and well-adhered. Not suitable for use in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations or direct, prolonged contact with abrasive chemicals.
Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the gloss finish. Wipe away any standing water promptly to maintain the panel's appearance.
