Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Tongue & Groove Wall Panel Kit is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to elevate plain walls with a classic shaker-style vertical V-groove aesthetic. It offers the key benefit of an easy, screw-free installation process that adds immediate texture and visual interest to hallways, bathrooms, or living rooms. The primary caveat is that at 800mm in height, these specific panels are better suited for wainscoting or feature sections rather than floor-to-ceiling coverage in rooms with high ceilings.

FAQs
Can I use these panels in a shower enclosure?
While the panels are moisture-resistant, they are not waterproof and should not be used in direct contact with running water inside a shower cubicle.
Do I need to sand the panels before painting?
A light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can help improve paint adhesion, especially if you want a smooth, professional finish.
Can these be installed over tiles?
Yes, provided the tiles are clean and stable; however, you must ensure the adhesive is compatible with the tiled surface.
How many panels come in a kit?
Please check the specific packaging, as kits vary in the total square meter coverage they provide.
What type of paint should I use?
Standard interior wood or wall paint is suitable; water-based eggshell or satinwood finishes often provide the most durable result.
Troubleshooting
Panels are not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall is free from dust, grease, or peeling paint. If the wall is porous, consider applying a primer first.
Gaps appearing between panels
Check that the tongue-and-groove edges are free from debris and firmly push them together until the joint locks.
Adhesive drying too quickly
Only apply adhesive to one panel at a time to prevent it from skinning over before you can position it on the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or loose paint to allow the adhesive to bond effectively. If applying over existing wallpaper, it is recommended to strip the paper first to ensure stability. Apply the provided grab adhesive in vertical strips to the back of each panel. Once the panels are clicked together, apply firm pressure to set the bond. For care, wipe the panels down with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish. If you plan to paint the panels, use a high-quality primer to ensure the topcoat adheres evenly to the surface material.
