Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these panels truly 100% waterproof?

Yes, the panels are manufactured from solid uPVC and are designed to be completely waterproof and leakproof when installed correctly with appropriate trims and sealants.

Can I install these panels over existing tiles?

Yes, provided the existing tiles are securely fixed, clean, and the surface is smooth. The Proclad panels can be adhered directly over them.

How do I clean the Proclad panels?

Clean the panels using a soft cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

What is the expected lifespan of these panels?

The panels are designed for long-term durability and are backed by a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Do I need special tools to cut the panels?

You can cut the panels using a fine-tooth saw or a jigsaw. Ensure the blade is sharp for clean cuts.

Are these panels suitable for a steam shower?

While fully waterproof, prolonged exposure to extreme steam may require additional sealing at joints for optimal performance in very high-humidity environments.

What adhesive should I use?

It is recommended to use a high-strength waterproof adhesive specifically designed for PVC cladding panels. Consult the product manual or manufacturer for specific recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Panel does not adhere properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Use the recommended high-strength waterproof adhesive and apply it evenly. Ensure adequate pressure is applied during installation and allow sufficient curing time.

Water seeping around edges

Check that all edge trims and corner profiles are securely fitted and sealed with adhesive. Ensure panels are cut precisely and that joints are tight. Re-apply sealant if necessary.

Scratches or minor surface damage

For minor surface scratches, a plastic polish or fine-grit sandpaper (used very carefully) might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first. For deeper damage, panel replacement may be necessary.

Difficulty cutting panels cleanly

Use a fine-tooth blade on a jigsaw or circular saw. Ensure the panel is well-supported during cutting to prevent chipping or cracking. Consider practicing cuts on a scrap piece first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely waterproof, preventing water damage and leaks.
  • Extremely low maintenance due to the seamless, grout-free surface.
  • Durable construction with high impact resistance.
  • Simple to install, suitable for DIY projects.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
  2. Measure and cut the panels to the required size using a fine-tooth saw or jigsaw. Ensure cuts are straight for a good fit.
  3. Apply a suitable high-strength waterproof adhesive to the back of the panel or directly to the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Press the panel firmly into place, ensuring good contact with the adhesive.
  5. Use Proclad edge trims and corner profiles for a neat and sealed finish, applying adhesive as needed.
  6. Allow adhesive to cure fully before exposing panels to water.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard wall surfaces, including plasterboard, brick, and existing tiles (ensure the existing surface is sound).
  • Requires specific Proclad trims and adhesives for optimal performance and warranty adherence.
  • Suitable for use in bathrooms, kitchens, wet rooms, shower cubicles, and commercial washrooms.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and warm, soapy water.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner can be used sparingly.
