Can the panel be painted?

Yes, the plasterboard surface can be painted to match your existing decor. Use a paint suitable for plasterboard.

What are the dimensions of the panel?

The available dimensions are 150mm X 150mm. Always confirm measurements before installation.

Is the frame fire-resistant?
