FAQs
Are Multipanel Classic panels truly waterproof?
Yes, the panels are designed to be completely waterproof when installed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions, featuring a waterproof core and Hydrolock joints.
Can I install these panels myself?
Yes, these panels are designed for simpler installation than tiles. However, ensuring correct cutting, sealing, and adhesion is crucial for their waterproof performance. If you are not comfortable with DIY, professional installation is recommended.
How do I clean the Grey Marble finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
What is the warranty period for these panels?
The Multipanel Classic collection comes with a 30-year warranty.
Can I tile over Multipanel panels?
No, Multipanel panels are designed as a finished surface and should not be tiled over.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, you will need a fine-tooth saw or jigsaw for cutting, a measuring tape, a spirit level, a sealant gun, and the recommended Multipanel adhesive.
What is Hydrolock technology?
Hydrolock is the tongue and groove system used on the edges of Multipanel panels. It allows them to slot together securely, creating a tight, watertight seal with minimal gaps.
Troubleshooting
Panel won't fit snugly into Hydrolock joint.
Check for any debris in the groove or on the tongue. Ensure the panel edge is not damaged. Gently tap into place with a rubber mallet if necessary.
Water seeping from a joint.
The joint may not have been sealed correctly. Remove the panel if possible, clean both surfaces, reapply sealant to the groove and tongue, and rejoin. Ensure sealant is applied to all cut edges.
Surface appears dull or has minor scratches.
Clean with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For light scratches, a specialized plastic restorer might be used cautiously, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Adhesive not holding panel securely.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the recommended adhesive type and quantity as per Multipanel's guidelines. Check adhesive curing times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and sound before installation. Panels should be acclimatized to room temperature for at least 24 hours before fitting. Cut panels using appropriate tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw, jigsaw) ensuring clean edges. Apply Multipanel's recommended adhesive to the back of the panel or the wall surface as per instructions. Use the Hydrolock joint to connect panels, applying sealant to the groove before joining for an extra layer of protection. Ensure all cut edges and joints are properly sealed with the appropriate waterproof sealant.
Compatibility: Multipanel wall panels are designed for interior use in bathrooms, shower rooms, and wet rooms. They are compatible with standard bathroom fixtures and can be installed over existing sound plasterboard, treated timber, or concrete walls. Avoid direct, prolonged contact with high-pressure water jets.
Care: Clean panels regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring agents that could damage the surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Ensure any sealant around edges or joints is checked periodically and maintained.
