FAQs
Can I install these panels over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are well-adhered, smooth, and the surface is clean and dry. Any grout lines should ideally be filled to create a flatter surface for better adhesion.
What type of adhesive should I use?
A strong, waterproof panel adhesive specifically designed for PVC or wall panels is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines for application.
How do I clean the Carrara Marble Grey Matt finish?
Use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Are these panels suitable for a ceiling installation?
These panels are designed primarily for wall applications in shower areas. Ceiling installation would require specific structural considerations and potentially different fixing methods not covered by standard guidelines.
What is the warranty period for the Britwall Shower Panel?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as this can vary.
Can I install these panels in a high-moisture environment like a sauna?
While fully waterproof, extreme, constant high heat and humidity like in a sauna may affect the adhesive or material over time. They are best suited for standard bathroom showers and wet rooms.
Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from any contaminants. Reapply adhesive, ensuring full coverage and proper pressure. Check if the adhesive used is suitable for PVC panels and the environment.
Water ingress at seams
Re-seal the edges using a high-quality waterproof silicone sealant. Ensure any old sealant is removed before applying new sealant.
Panel appears warped or discolored
This may indicate exposure to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Ensure cleaning is done with mild agents. Check for proper ventilation in the room to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
Difficulty cutting panels cleanly
Use a sharp, fine-tooth blade on a saw or jigsaw. Secure the panel firmly before cutting and consider using masking tape along the cut line to minimize chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare Surfaces: Ensure the walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust or grease. Minor imperfections should be filled and smoothed.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the required area and carefully cut panels to size using appropriate tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw or jigsaw). Always test cuts in an inconspicuous area first.
- Apply Adhesive: Use a suitable waterproof panel adhesive. Apply it evenly to the back of the panel or the wall surface, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Install Panel: Firmly press the panel into place, ensuring a secure fit. Use temporary supports if necessary.
- Seal Edges: Apply a silicone sealant around the edges and where panels meet to ensure a watertight seal.
Compatibility:
The Britwall panels can be installed over most sound surfaces, including plasterboard, existing tiles (ensure they are well-adhered and smooth), and concrete.
Care:
- Clean the panels regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions.
- Avoid using abrasive pads, scouring powders, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface finish.
- Wipe down after each use to prevent water spotting.
