The Guardian Bathroom Wall Panel is an ideal solution for homeowners and renovators seeking a quick, low-maintenance upgrade to wet rooms, bathrooms, and showers without the need for traditional tiling. These 10mm thick PVC panels provide a durable, fully waterproof surface that can be installed directly over existing wall coverings, offering a professional aesthetic finish. While the installation process is significantly faster than tiling, it is important to note that the panels require careful measuring and cutting to ensure a seamless fit across large surfaces.

Yes, they are fully waterproof and specifically designed for use in wet areas like shower cubicles.
If the wall surface is clean, dry, and stable, no priming is typically required, though very porous surfaces may benefit from a suitable bonding agent.
Yes, they are designed to be installed over existing flat surfaces, provided the tiles are secure and the wall is level.
The panels typically feature an interlocking edge; apply a bead of silicone sealant within the groove before joining for a watertight finish.
You will need a tape measure, a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw, a spirit level, and an appropriate construction adhesive.
Use a fine-toothed hand saw or a jigsaw with a fine-tooth blade and apply masking tape along the cut line to prevent chipping.
Ensure that the wall substrate was clean and free of dust before applying adhesive; check that sufficient adhesive was applied in continuous vertical beads.
The joints were likely not sealed properly; clean out any debris from the seam and re-apply a high-quality, mold-resistant silicone sealant.
To install, ensure your existing walls are structurally sound and clean. If installing over old tiles, verify they are securely attached to the substrate. Use a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw to trim panels to size. Apply a high-quality, moisture-resistant panel adhesive to the back of the cladding in vertical beads, then press firmly against the wall.
For ongoing care, avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners. A simple wipe down with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution is sufficient to keep the surface hygienic and aesthetic. Periodically inspect the silicone sealant at corners and edges to ensure the waterproof seal remains intact.
