The Guardian Neptune Riven Slate Bathroom Wall Panel is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a modern, low-maintenance alternative to traditional ceramic tiling in wet rooms, showers, and bathrooms. Its standout benefit is the realistic slate texture and aesthetic provided without the hassle of scrubbing porous grout lines; however, users should note that the large 1000mm x 2400mm dimensions require careful handling and precise cutting during installation to ensure a seamless finish.

Yes, provided the existing tiles are stable, level, and clean. Remove any loose tiles and ensure the surface is dry.
Yes, to ensure the wall remains 100% waterproof, apply a high-quality, mold-resistant bathroom silicone sealant in the joints.
A fine-tooth hand saw or a circular saw with a blade suitable for plastic/PVC works best for clean, straight cuts.
These panels are rated for standard bathroom and shower use. We recommend checking the specific temperature ratings if intended for a high-heat steam environment.
Use a damp microfiber cloth or a soft sponge with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive powders that may settle into the riven texture.
While lightweight compared to ceramic tiles, the large size makes them slightly cumbersome. We recommend two people for lifting and positioning the panels.
Ensure the wall surface is level; if the wall is bowed, use battens to create a flat substrate before adhering the panels.
Apply painter's tape to both sides of the joint before applying sealant, then smooth with a professional profiling tool and remove the tape immediately.
Installation is straightforward: ensure the underlying wall is flat, dry, and free from loose debris. Panels can be adhered directly using high-quality waterproof silicone or specialized panel adhesive. For corners and edges, use compatible plastic or aluminum trims to create a watertight seal.
For daily maintenance, a simple wipe-down with a soft cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent is sufficient to maintain the slate texture. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or scouring pads, as these may dull the finish over time.
