Troubleshooting
Panel cutting leaves a rough edge.
Use a fine-tooth saw or a dedicated PVC cutting tool. Ensure the blade is sharp and the panel is securely supported during cutting.
Gaps appear between panels.
Ensure panels are properly aligned during installation. Check if any locking mechanisms are obstructed. Use appropriate sealant if minor gaps persist.
Adhesive is not holding the panel securely.
Ensure the wall surface is completely dry, clean, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality adhesive specifically recommended for PVC cladding and follow curing times.
Surface appears dull or scratched.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Try cleaning with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. For minor scratches, a non-abrasive plastic polish may be suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before installation. Panels can be cut to size using a fine-tooth saw or jigsaw. They can be fixed directly to battens or existing wall surfaces using appropriate adhesive or screws, following manufacturer guidelines. Ensure a tight fit between panels for optimal water resistance.
Compatibility: These panels are designed for interior use on walls. They are compatible with most standard wall preparation materials and adhesives suitable for PVC. Ensure compatibility with any trims or corner pieces intended for use with the Proclad system.
Care: To maintain the appearance and hygiene of the Proclad Red Wine panels, simply wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. Ensure any excess water is dried off, especially around joints, to prolong the life of the product.
