1. Quick & Easy Installation

Read instructions carefully before beginning installation.

Allow panels to reach room temperature for 30 minutes prior to installation.

Surfaces must be free from dirt, film, waxes or any other residues. Tiled and painted surfaces must be sanded to create a key for the adhesive. Newly treated walls should be sealed. Remove any wallpaper.

The panel is manufactured with a border of foam for protection during shipping, this needs to be trimmed prior to any measuring / fitting.

When sawing, carefully cut the panel with a jigsaw using a 1mm pitch cutting blade. Alternatively, a hand saw (15 teeth, 16 point) can be used.

Always cut and drill with the decorative side of the panel face up.

Leave any protective film in place as long as possible (if fitted). It may be helpful to support the panels during cutting.

Always wear Safety Glasses when cutting or drilling laminate panels.

Measure twice, cut once!!

Apply the adhesive thinly and evenly direct to the wall in the form of a grid. DO NOT leave any bare areas. For best results ensure that all the area is fully covered.

Allow for a 3mm gap at the bottom of the shower wall, this is essential to allow for expansion / movement of the shower tray. Gaps should be filled with waterproof silicone sealant.

Ceiling gaps should also be filled with silicone sealant to ensure a complete waterproof seal.

WARNING – DO NOT use solvent based adhesives or cleaners on this product.

2. Corner Framing

3. Fixing Panels

Corner Framing Firstly, cut the corner section to the height of the required panel. This can be done with a junior hacksaw or a strong pair of snips.
Apply adhesive to outer edges of the corner section and fix directly to the wall, using masking tape to temporarily secure if required.
Using a spirit level or plumb line mark the position of the end of the panel directly on the wall and if using a top trim, mark the position of the trim.
Cut the side edging trim to the same height as the panel and apply adhesive to outer edge of the edging trim and fix directly to the wall, using masking tape to temporarily secure if required.
Two options are available to finish the top of the panel :
1. Simply fill the small gap left at the top of the panel with waterproof silicone sealant. Wipe off all excess silicone and clean the panels with a warm soapy cloth.
2. If using a top trim, measure and cut the top trims to fit between the inner sections of the corners and the outer edge trims. Apply adhesive to the outer edge of the top trim and fix
fixing panels
Measure top, middle and bottom of each wall to be panelled. Deduct 20mm overall width for each panel to allow for the corner section.
Mark sizes on the face of the panel with masking tape and a pencil. Using a jig saw (1mm pitch) or hand saw (15 teeth, 16 point), cut the panel face-side up. Remember, measure twice cut once!
After checking the panel fits, apply a grid of adhesive over the wall, ensuring all of the area is covered. Offer the panel up to the wall and smooth out all pockets of air. Make sure area is well ventilated.
Continue on the other wall for a corner installation or both walls for an alcove installation. If needed hold panel(s) in place with masking tape until adhesive has set and no movement of the panel can occur.

4. Fixtures & Fittings

 

5. Alcove Framing

fixtures and fittings
Once panels are in place it is time to fit the trims. First cut the corner sections to the same height as the boards. Apply a bead of silicone to the insides of the trim and push home until trim locks fully into place and silicone squeeze out occurs. Next cut the side edging trim, allowing 13mm for the top trim. Apply silicone to the back and click into place. Finally measure the distance between the corner and side trim and cut top edging trim to suit. Apply silicone and push top edging trim into place, ensuring that silicone squeeze out occurs.
Fill in the 3mm gap left at the base of the shower with waterproof silicone sealant. Wipe off all excess silicone and clean the panels with a warm, soapy cloth.
A 2-3mm expansion gap is required on cut-outs for pipes or fittings, even if collars are to be fitted. The gap must be filled with waterproof sealant.
Shower attachments can be fitted through the panels using suitable fixings and ensuring the waterproof seal is maintained. Any wall plugs must be pushed completely through the panel into the supporting wall.
alcove framing
Please note – to install an Alcove you will require an additional product pack.
To install an Alcove frame repeat parts a to c from section 2. Corner Framing, adding the second corner joint.
Complete parts d and e from section 2. Corner Framing.
Continue to sections 3. Fixing Panels and 4. Fixtures and Fittings.
Please Note : for the back panel you must deduct 40mm from the overall panel width to allow for both corner sections. Ensure measurements are taken from wall to wall.

6. Finishing & Maintenance

Cleaning your panels

For regular cleaning use only warm, soapy water or mild detergents applied with a soft cloth.
Do not use solvent based cleaners, scouring pads, gritty cloths or harsh abrasive cleaners as these will damage the panel.
