FAQs
Can I install these panels myself?
Yes, the panels are designed for relatively easy DIY installation, especially with their tongue-and-groove system. However, careful measurement and precise cutting are crucial for a watertight finish. If you are uncomfortable with DIY, professional installation is recommended.
How do I clean the panels?
Clean the panels with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Are these panels suitable for a steam shower?
Yes, the panels are 100% waterproof and designed for high-moisture environments like showers and wet rooms, including those with steam.
What adhesive should I use?
You should use a high-grab, waterproof adhesive specifically designed for wall panels or bathroom applications. Always check the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for compatibility.
Can I fit these panels over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are firmly adhered and the surface is flat and clean, Starline wall panels can be fitted directly over them. This saves on the time and mess of removing old tiles.
What is the lifespan of these panels?
The panels are constructed from durable PVC and are backed by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, indicating a long lifespan when installed and maintained correctly.
Do I need special tools to cut the panels?
You can cut the panels using standard tools like a fine-toothed hand saw, jigsaw, or circular saw. Ensure you use a blade suitable for plastic or laminate for clean cuts.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not fit snugly into the groove.
Check for any debris or obstructions in the groove or on the tongue. Ensure the panel is properly aligned before attempting to join. Trim excess material if necessary, but be precise.
Water seeping through joints.
Ensure sufficient waterproof adhesive was applied and that the tongue-and-groove connection is fully engaged. Reapply silicone sealant along the joint or around any potential entry points. Check for any damage to the panel edge.
Surface appears dull or discolored.
Clean the panel with a recommended mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools. If discoloration persists, it may be due to staining from harsh chemicals, which are not covered under standard warranty.
Panel is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a fine-toothed saw blade designed for laminate or plastic. Ensure the panel is securely supported during cutting to prevent chipping. Slow, steady cuts are recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before installation. Panels can be cut to size using a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw. Apply a compatible waterproof adhesive evenly to the back of the panel or the wall surface, following adhesive manufacturer instructions. Slide the tongue-and-groove edges together firmly to create a tight, seamless fit. Use silicone sealant in corners and around fixtures for a complete watertight seal. Profiles may be required for external corners and edges.
Compatibility: These panels are suitable for installation in bathrooms, shower cubicles, wet rooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. They can typically be fitted directly over existing ceramic tiles, plasterboard, or concrete surfaces, provided the surface is flat and stable. Ensure you use appropriate fixings and sealants for the specific substrate.
Care: Cleaning is straightforward. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap or a non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid using abrasive pads, scouring agents, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the surface finish. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
