Installing our wall panels is quick, clean, and far easier than traditional tiling. With a few basic tools and the right trims, you can transform any room in no time—whether it’s a bathroom, shower cubicle, or kitchen wall.
✅ Tools You’ll Need
-
Fine-tooth saw or utility knife
-
Spirit level
-
Measuring tape
-
Adhesive (high-grab panel adhesive or solvent-free silicone)
-
Sealant gun
-
Screws or panel pins (optional for batten fixings)
-
Cloth and mild detergent (for surface prep)
⚙️ Preparation
-
Surface Check: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose materials.
-
Flat Surface: Panels can be fixed directly to plasterboard, tiles, or timber battens.
-
Acclimatise Panels: Leave panels in the room for 24 hours before installation to adjust to temperature.
🧱 Fitting the Panels
1. Start from the Corner
-
Use an Internal Corner Trim or End Cap Trim at your starting point.
-
Apply adhesive in vertical beads on the wall (or battens) and on the back of the panel.
2. Install First Panel
-
Slot the first panel into the trim, press firmly to the wall.
-
Ensure it’s level using a spirit level.
-
Secure with adhesive or pins/screws at the tongue (if using battens).
3. Continue with Remaining Panels
-
Apply adhesive to the back and along the groove of the previous panel.
-
Push the tongue into the groove of the previous panel tightly for a seamless look.
-
Repeat until the area is covered.
4. Add Trims as Needed
-
Use H-Joint Trims for long walls.
-
Fit External Corner Trims and Base Trims for edges.
-
Apply Scotia Trims at the top for a neat finish.
5. Seal Joints
-
Use silicone sealant in all internal joints and at the base to ensure a watertight seal, especially in wet areas like showers.
⚠️ Important Tips
-
Batch Number Check: Always install panels from the same batch to ensure color consistency.
-
Cut Carefully: Score with a knife or use a fine-tooth saw to avoid splinters.
-
Don’t Overload Adhesive: Excess glue can cause uneven surfaces—apply evenly.
-
Leave a Small Gap: Allow a 2–3mm expansion gap at panel edges.
🛠️ Installation Methods
-
Adhesive Fixing: Ideal for flat, solid walls. Use high-grab panel adhesive.
-
Batten System: Great for uneven walls. Fix battens vertically every 400–600mm and mount panels to them.
📌 Maintenance
-
Wipe panels with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
