Troubleshooting
Panels do not adhere well
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.
Cutting the panels results in a rough edge
Use a fine-toothed saw or a very sharp utility knife. Score the surface deeply multiple times if using a knife before snapping the panel.
Water seeps behind the panels
Verify that all edges and joints are properly sealed with appropriate waterproof sealant or trims. Ensure panels are fitted tightly against the wall and each other.
Panel surface is scratched
Handle panels with care during installation. If minor scratches occur, they may be difficult to remove. For significant damage, panel replacement might be necessary.
