FAQs
Can I install this panel over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are securely fixed, the grout lines are filled flush, and the surface is clean and degreased. The underlying wall must still be sound and flat.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a tape measure, spirit level, pencil, fine-toothed saw or jigsaw, waterproof adhesive, and silicone sealant. Safety glasses and a dust mask are also recommended.
How do I cut the panel for pipes or electrical sockets?
Measure and mark the location carefully. Use a jigsaw with a fine-cutting blade for precise cuts. Ensure cut edges are smooth and then seal around the cut-out with silicone sealant.
Is this panel suitable for a wet room floor?
These panels are designed for walls and are not typically recommended for wet room floors, which require specialized waterproof flooring systems.
What is the expected lifespan of the panel?
With proper installation and regular care, the Triton Verona Terrazzo wall panel is designed for long-term use in a bathroom environment, typically lasting many years.
Can I paint over the panel?
The panel has a decorative finish and is not designed to be painted. Painting may affect its water-resistant properties and visual appearance.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not fit snugly into the groove.
Check for any debris in the groove or on the tongue. Ensure the adjacent panel is perfectly plumb and level. Minor adjustments to the tongue or groove edge might be needed with a fine file.
Adhesive is not holding the panel securely.
Ensure the wall surface was clean, dry, and free from dust. Reapply the correct type of waterproof adhesive, ensuring even coverage and adequate pressure during fitting.
Water seeping through the joints.
This indicates an insufficient or compromised seal. Remove the panel if possible, clean both joint surfaces, and re-adhere using appropriate adhesive and a full bead of waterproof silicone sealant along the entire joint length.
Panel surface appears dull or discolored.
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, consult the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and perfectly flat. Minor imperfections can affect the panel's fit and seal. Use a suitable levelling compound if necessary.
- Cutting: Measure and cut panels accurately using a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw. Always wear safety glasses and a dust mask.
- Adhesion: Apply a high-quality waterproof adhesive specifically designed for wall panels. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions regarding application and curing time.
- Joining: Slot the tongue and groove edges together, ensuring a tight fit. Apply adhesive to the groove or tongue as recommended by the adhesive manufacturer for a secure bond.
- Sealing: Use a silicone sealant around edges, corners, and any cut-outs (e.g., for pipes or fixtures) to ensure a watertight finish.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use in bathrooms and wet rooms.
- Compatible with most standard bathroom adhesives and sealants. Always check product compatibility before use.
- Requires a solid, flat substrate (e.g., plasterboard, existing tiles if properly prepared, or timber battening).
Care:
- Clean the panel surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the matt finish.
- Wipe away any soap residue or water spots promptly to maintain appearance.
- Periodically check sealant around edges and reapply if necessary to maintain water resistance.
