Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the recommended adhesive and apply it evenly according to manufacturer instructions. Ensure sufficient pressure is applied during fitting.
Water seeping through joints
Check that panels are fitted tightly together. Ensure appropriate sealant or adhesive has been used at all seams and edges. Verify that edge trims are correctly installed and sealed if used.
Scratches on the surface
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth and a mild plastic polish. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or chemicals in the future.
Difficulty cutting panels cleanly
Use a sharp, fine-toothed blade on your saw or jigsaw. Measure carefully and cut slowly to ensure a clean edge. Consider practicing cuts on a scrap piece first.
