FAQs
What is the Proclick system?
The Proclick system is Showerwall's patented interlocking joint system. It allows panels to click together seamlessly, creating a watertight and trim-free connection for a smooth, continuous wall surface.
Can I install these panels directly over my existing tiles?
Yes, Showerwall panels can be fitted directly over existing tiles, provided the tiled surface is sound, level, and clean. This saves time and reduces mess during renovation.
How do I clean the Tacoma Marble panels?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or strong chemicals. Wipe dry after cleaning and after showering.
Are these panels suitable for a steam shower?
While 100% waterproof, for areas with continuous high steam, ensure proper ventilation is installed in the bathroom and follow specific installation guidelines for shower enclosures to maintain optimal performance.
What is the difference between Plywood and Exterior-Grade MDF cores?
Both are suitable for bathroom use. Exterior-Grade MDF is specifically designed to withstand moisture better than standard MDF, offering enhanced durability in wet environments.
What is the visible width of the Proclick panels?
For Proclick panels, two widths are provided: the total width and the visible width in brackets. For example, a 2440x1200mm panel with Proclick will have a visible width less than 1200mm due to the interlocking system.
What is covered by the 30-year guarantee?
The 30-year guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and the waterproof integrity of the panels when installed and maintained according to Showerwall's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Proclick joint not sealing properly
Ensure no debris is present in the joint. Apply sufficient sealant as per instructions. Check that the panels are fully engaged and flush.
Panel surface appears dull or marked
Clean with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Wipe dry after use to prevent water spots.
Water ingress at edges or joints
Check and reapply sealant around edges, corners, and any penetrations (e.g., for pipes or shower fixtures) according to manufacturer guidelines.
Panel is difficult to cut cleanly
Use a fine-toothed saw blade designed for laminate or composite materials. Ensure the cutting tool is sharp and secure the panel firmly before cutting.
