Use an adhesive specifically designed for PVC wall panels. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
How do I clean the panels?
Clean the panels with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.
Are these panels suitable for a shower enclosure?
Yes, these panels are waterproof and suitable for shower enclosures. Ensure all joints and edges are properly sealed.

You'll need a measuring tape, level, utility knife or saw, adhesive, sealant, and a caulking gun.
Can I install these panels myself?

What is the warranty on these panels?

How do I cut around pipes and fixtures?

Troubleshooting
Panels are not adhering to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Use an appropriate adhesive for PVC panels and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Check the expiry date of the adhesive.
Seams are not waterproof.
Apply a waterproof sealant to all seams and joints to prevent water from penetrating. Ensure the sealant is properly applied and cured.
Panels are scratched during installation.
Use caution during installation. Use a soft cloth to wipe the surface and avoid using sharp tools directly on the panels. Consider using protective gloves.
Difficulty cutting the panels.
Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw. Measure accurately and cut slowly and steadily. Use a guide or straight edge.
