FAQs

Are Proclad Aqua panels truly waterproof?

Yes, the panels are 100% waterproof and leakproof, making them ideal for showers, bathrooms, and wetrooms where constant moisture is present.

Can I install these panels over existing tiles?

Yes, provided the existing tiles are sound, securely adhered, and form a perfectly flat surface. Clean the tiles thoroughly before applying the cladding panels with adhesive.

What kind of adhesive should I use?

You should use a high-grab adhesive specifically recommended for PVC wall cladding and suitable for wet environments. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

How do I cut the panels accurately?

Panels can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife. Ensure you score the panel deeply for cleaner cuts, and always wear safety glasses.

What is the cleaning and maintenance routine?

Maintenance is simple. Clean the panels with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Do I need to seal the edges or joints?

While the panels themselves are waterproof, it is recommended to use edge trims and seal corners and joints with a suitable waterproof sealant for maximum protection against water ingress.

What is the warranty period for these panels?

The Proclad Aqua PVC Wall Cladding Panels come with a 10-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Panel adhesion is poor

Ensure the wall surface was clean, dry, and completely flat before application. Re-apply with a fresh application of appropriate adhesive, ensuring even coverage and sufficient pressure.

Cutting the panels results in rough edges

Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife with a fresh blade. Score the panel deeply and make multiple passes for a cleaner cut. Sand lightly with fine-grit sandpaper if necessary.

Water is still penetrating the wall

Check all joint lines, edges, and corners for gaps. Ensure all sealing and trim applications are complete and watertight. Re-apply sealant or adhesive where needed.

Panels appear warped or uneven

Verify that the panels were installed on a truly flat and stable substrate. Extreme temperature fluctuations can sometimes affect PVC; ensure adequate ventilation if heat sources are nearby.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  3. Apply a suitable high-grab adhesive recommended for PVC cladding to the back of the panel or the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Firmly press the panel into place, ensuring a secure bond. Use temporary supports if necessary.
  5. Fit edge trims and corner pieces as required, using the appropriate adhesive.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use in bathrooms, showers, wetrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and other areas subject to moisture.

Care:
