Troubleshooting

Panel not locking securely

Check for any debris or obstructions in the Hydro-Lock & Groove mechanism. Ensure the panel is correctly aligned and pushed firmly into place. If slight damage is present, a small amount of filler might be needed on the receiving edge, followed by sealant.

Adhesive not holding panel

Verify that the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Ensure the correct type of high-strength grab adhesive has been used and applied generously as per manufacturer instructions. Allow adequate curing time before stressing the panel.

Visible seam or gap

Re-seat the panel to ensure a tight Hydro-Lock & Groove connection. If a small gap persists, it can be masked with a high-quality, bathroom-grade silicone sealant applied carefully into the seam.

Surface scratching or damage

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor surface scratches, a plastic polish might be effective, but significant damage may require panel replacement.

Care:
