FAQs
Can these panels be installed directly over existing tiles?
Yes, panels can be installed over existing tiles provided the tiles are securely fixed, clean, and dry. The surface may require light abrasion for optimal adhesive grip. Ensure all grout lines are filled and smoothed.
What is the best way to clean the Matt Almalfi Marble Effect panel?
Clean the panel with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Are these panels suitable for a steam shower?
While designed for wet rooms, continuous high-level steam exposure may challenge the MDF core's integrity. Ensure excellent ventilation and a robust waterproof seal around all edges and joints. For full steam rooms, specialized materials might be more appropriate.
What adhesive and sealant should I use?
Use a high-grab, waterproof adhesive specifically designed for wall panels or similar interior applications. A high-quality, bathroom-grade silicone sealant is essential for all joints and edges.
How do I handle corners?
For internal corners, ensure a tight fit and apply silicone sealant. For external corners, panels can be butt-joined and sealed, or you can use a dedicated finishing trim for a more professional look.
Can I paint over these panels?
These panels are finished with a decorative laminate and are not designed to be painted over. Painting would likely compromise the waterproof surface and aesthetic.
What are the dimensions of the panel?
The panel measures 2400mm in height and 598mm in width.
Troubleshooting
Panel joint is not sealing properly
Ensure no adhesive or debris is obstructing the locking mechanism. Reapply adhesive and ensure the panels are firmly pushed together. Check if sealant is applied correctly along the joint after installation.
Panel surface appears dull or scratched
Clean with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For minor scratches, a specialized laminate repair kit might be suitable, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools.
Water ingress noted at edges or corners
Inspect the silicone sealant. If it is cracked or missing, remove old sealant and reapply a fresh, high-quality waterproof silicone sealant. Ensure it is applied evenly and smoothed correctly.
Panel is difficult to cut cleanly
Use a sharp, fine-toothed blade designed for cutting laminate or MDF. Ensure the panel is securely supported while cutting. Cutting slowly and steadily will yield better results.
