Can I install this splashback myself?
Yes, it is designed for DIY installation due to its lightweight nature and ease of cutting. However, for a perfect finish, especially around corners or complex fittings, professional installation is recommended.
How do I clean the herringbone marble surface?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong chemicals to protect the finish.
What is the thickness of the splashback panel?
The panel has a thickness of 4mm.
What are the exact dimensions of this specific splashback panel?
This specific panel measures 3050mm in length, 750mm in height, and 4mm in thickness.
Can this splashback be used in a bathroom?
While it is moisture-resistant, it is primarily designed for kitchen environments. Its heat resistance properties are most relevant behind cooking appliances.
What adhesive should I use to install the splashback?
We recommend using a high-quality, solvent-free adhesive specifically designed for aluminium composite panels. Always check the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not adhere well to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth). Use a high-quality, appropriate adhesive for aluminium composite panels and apply it evenly. Allow sufficient curing time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Cutting edges are rough or uneven
Use a sharp, fine-tooth blade designed for cutting composite materials. Ensure the panel is securely supported during cutting and consider scoring the surface first for a cleaner cut. If possible, practice on a scrap piece.
Scratches appear on the surface
Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a non-abrasive polish specifically designed for laminate or composite surfaces. For deeper scratches, panel replacement might be necessary.
Panel seems warped or bowed
Ensure the panel is not exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations before or after installation. Check that the adhesive has cured properly and that the wall behind is stable. Avoid overtightening screws if mechanical fixing is used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before installation, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from imperfections. This panel can be cut to size using standard woodworking tools. It can be adhered to the wall using a suitable heavy-duty adhesive or mechanically fixed using screws (ensure screw caps match the marble effect). For precise cutting and fitting, professional installation is recommended, especially for intricate designs or when working around electrical outlets.
Compatibility: This splashback is designed for use in standard kitchen environments. It is compatible with most types of kitchen hobs, including gas and electric, due to its fire-resistant properties. Ensure adequate ventilation around cooking appliances as per manufacturer recommendations.
Care: Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the scratch-resistant finish. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive cream cleaner may be used sparingly. Wipe spills promptly to prevent staining.
