FAQs
Are these panels suitable for a shower cubicle?
Yes, these panels are 100% waterproof and are specifically designed for use in bathrooms, showers, and wet walls.
Do I need to buy special tools to cut the panels?
You can typically cut the panels using a fine-toothed hand saw or a utility knife. For cleaner cuts, a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade is recommended.
What is the coverage of one panel?
Each panel measures 250mm wide and 2600mm long, providing a coverage area of 0.65m2 per panel. An 11-panel pack covers approximately 7.15m2.
Can I install these panels over existing tiles?
While possible, it's best to install on a clean, flat, and dry surface. Removing old tiles or ensuring the existing surface is perfectly flat and free of loose material is recommended for optimal adhesion.
What happens if I run out of panels?
The product comes in packs of 11 panels, covering approximately 7.15m2. You can purchase additional panels or packs if needed, but be mindful of potential slight color variations between batches.
How do I clean the graphite grey finish?
Wipe the panels with a soft, damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used for tougher marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Are trims included with the panels?
No, compatible trims (such as corner profiles and end strips) and adhesive are sold separately. These are essential for a professional finish.
Troubleshooting
Panels not fitting together snugly
Check for debris in the tongue and groove channels. Ensure panels are cut accurately and not forced together, which could damage the profile.
Adhesive not holding panels securely
Verify that the correct type of adhesive for PVC panels has been used and applied according to manufacturer instructions. Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry.
Visible gaps at edges
Ensure correct trims are being used and fitted properly. Re-check panel cuts for accuracy.
Panel surface appears dull or scratched
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
