This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, waterproof, and easy-to-install alternative to traditional shower tiles. The Aquabord Matt Carrara Marble PVC panels offer a hygienic, grout-free solution that is quick to install and maintain. A potential caveat is that while installation is designed for moderate DIY skills, a helper is recommended for easier handling of the larger panels.

These panels are designed for wall applications. While they are waterproof, ceiling installation would require specific mounting methods and may not be recommended by the manufacturer.
Yes, provided the existing tiles are sound, securely fixed, and the surface is flat. Clean the tile surface thoroughly before applying adhesive and installing the Aquabord panels.
It is recommended to use a high-grab, waterproof adhesive specifically designed for PVC panels or wall cladding. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific product recommendations.
Panels can be cut using a fine-toothed jigsaw, circular saw, or even a sharp utility knife for scoring and snapping thinner sections. Always measure twice and cut once, and wear appropriate safety gear.
The panels are significantly thicker than many competing products, offering enhanced durability. They have a hollow core which contributes to their lightweight nature.
The 10-year guarantee covers manufacturing defects and is valid from the date of purchase, subject to correct installation and maintenance as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
Painting is generally not recommended as it can affect the waterproof properties and finish. The panels are designed to be used with their original finish.
Check for any debris in the groove or tongue. Ensure the panel is correctly aligned and not being forced. Lightly trim the tongue or groove if minor obstructions are present.
Ensure panels are pushed together firmly during installation. Verify that the wall surface behind is flat. If gaps are small, they can be sealed with a suitable waterproof silicone sealant after installation.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor surface marks, try a non-abrasive cleaner. Deeper scratches may be difficult to repair and could require panel replacement.
Check that all edges and corners have been adequately sealed with waterproof silicone sealant. Ensure the click-lock joints are fully engaged and any necessary adhesive has been applied correctly.
Setup: Ensure the underlying wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Panels are designed to be cut to size using standard power tools like a jigsaw or circular saw. The tongue-and-groove system allows panels to simply click together. Apply a suitable waterproof adhesive (check manufacturer recommendations) to the wall and/or the panel edges before pressing firmly into place. Ensure all edges are sealed with appropriate silicone sealant where necessary.
Compatibility: Aquabord panels are suitable for installation over most existing wall surfaces, including plasterboard, concrete, and existing tiles (provided they are sound and flat). They are designed for interior wet wall applications.
Care: Clean panels regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface finish.
