Where can I use the panels?
Our panels can be used in any room of the home. Perfect for bathrooms, feature walls, hallways, utility rooms, kitchens and playrooms to name a few. The panels are now also widely used in restaurants, bars, shops, hotels, offices and gyms etc. *If installed in the kitchen a heat resistant glass panel must be installed behind the hob.
Are the panels waterproof?
All of our panels are 100% waterproof (apart from the Feature Wall + and Cabana range) and can be used in bathrooms. When fitting in shower/wet areas we recommend using a thin bead of silicone applied to the joint of the panel.
Are the panels fire rated?
All of our panels are fire rated to test standards EN 13501-1:2010+A1: 2014. Please contact us for specific enquiries.
Can the panels be fitted over existing tiles?
Yes. As long as the tiles are fixed securely to the wall, they can be installed directly onto the tiles.
How much adhesive do I need?
This can vary depending on your wall surface. A general guide would be two tube’s per linear metre.
How are the panels installed?
The panels are fixed onto your walls or ceiling using a solvent free adhesive or low modulus silicone and small self-tapping screws or staples.
Cut the panel to size and cover the back of the panel with adhesive/silicone in a zig zag style (not dot and dab). Press the panel firmly into place on the wall.
Secure using self-tapping screws (or staples) along the tongue section of the panel. The next panel will then interlock covering the screws/staples.
Cover the back of the next panel in adhesive/silicone and slot in the tongue and groove and repeat until the wall is finished.
If being used in a wet/shower area, we recommend using a thin bead of silicone applied to the back joint of the panel.
How do I cut the panels to size?
The panels are easily cut using a fine toothed saw or fine toothed jigsaw. A Stanley knife can also be used for trimming. Hole cutters can be used for any pipes or downlights.
Can items be attached to the panels?
Yes. Everything from toothbrush holders to shower screens and basins. When installing larger items to the wall and panels you will need to ensure there is enough support from the wall and the correct fixings are used.
Can I fit downlights with the panels?
Yes downlights can be used with the panels. Any lights must be fitted using low voltage transformers, low wattage bulbs (35w or below) or LED’s.
Are they easy to clean?
The panels can be easily wiped down with a cloth using warm soapy water. Abrasives or bleaches should not be used on the panels.
Can the panels be used outside?
All of our panels are for internal use only.
