Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the existing wall surface is clean, dry, and level. Remove any loose paint, wallpaper, or debris.
- Measurements: Measure the area accurately to determine the number of panels needed.
- Cutting: Use appropriate tools (circular saw or jigsaw) to cut panels to the required size, taking care to achieve clean, straight cuts.
- Installation: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the tongue and groove system. Start from a corner and work outwards.
- Sealing: Apply sealant to all joints, edges, and around fixtures to ensure a watertight seal.
Compatibility
The panels are compatible with most bathroom surfaces, including existing tiles, plasterboard, and waterproof surfaces. Ensure the underlying surface is structurally sound and prepared correctly before installation.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the panels regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Maintenance: Inspect joints and seals periodically and re-seal if necessary.
- Avoid: Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, which may damage the finish.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the bathroom to minimize moisture buildup.
