FAQs
Are these panels suitable for a ceiling?
These panels are designed for wall applications. Installation on ceilings would require specific structural considerations and fixings not covered by standard instructions.
Can I install these over existing tiles?
Yes, you can install them over existing tiles provided the tiles are securely fixed, and the surface is clean, dry, and flat. You may need to fill any grout lines for a perfectly smooth finish before adhesion.
What kind of adhesive should I use?
It is recommended to use a strong, waterproof adhesive specifically designed for PVC cladding panels. Please refer to the product packaging or contact customer support for specific recommendations.
How do I cut the panels accurately?
You can cut the panels using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife. Measure carefully and use a straight edge for clean, precise cuts.
What is the expected lifespan of these panels?
The panels are described as ultra hardwearing and are backed by a 10-year guarantee, suggesting a long lifespan when properly installed and maintained.
Are these panels suitable for commercial use?
While designed for durability, their suitability for commercial use depends on the specific requirements of the area, such as traffic levels and specific hygiene standards. They are fire-rated, which is a common requirement.
Do I need to seal the edges?
Yes, it is highly recommended to seal all edges and joints with a good quality, flexible silicone sealant to maintain the waterproof integrity of the installation.
Troubleshooting
Panels not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely flat, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the recommended adhesive and apply it evenly according to manufacturer instructions. Ensure adequate pressure is applied during installation.
Water ingress at seams or edges
Verify that all edges are properly sealed with a suitable silicone sealant. Ensure any connecting trims are fitted correctly and sealed. Check that the panels are cut precisely for a snug fit.
Scratches on the panel surface
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scratches, a non-abrasive plastic polish may help. Prevent damage during handling and installation.
Panel bowing or warping
This can occur if not installed on a flat surface or if exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. Ensure the wall is perfectly flat and that the adhesive has cured properly before exposing to moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure walls are flat, dry, and clean before installation. Panels can be cut to size using appropriate tools. Apply a suitable adhesive (sold separately) to the back of the panel or the wall and press firmly into place. For best results, use with recommended edge trims and sealants.
Compatibility: These panels are designed for interior use on flat, stable walls. They are compatible with standard wall substrates that have been prepared correctly. Not recommended for use on textured or uneven surfaces without prior leveling.
Care: To maintain the pristine look of your Proclad panels, regularly wipe them down with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
