Product Information
Full details
The Guardian Neptune Bathroom Wall Panel is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a high-efficiency alternative to traditional tile for wet-room renovations. Its standout benefit is the expansive 2.4-square-metre coverage per panel, which eliminates the need for labor-intensive grouting and speeds up the installation process significantly. While these panels offer a sleek, premium black marble aesthetic, it is important to note that they require precise cutting during the initial setup to ensure a seamless fit around existing bathroom fixtures.

FAQs
Can I install these panels over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are securely bonded to the wall and the surface is relatively flat.
Do I need special tools to cut these panels?
A standard jigsaw or a fine-toothed hand saw is sufficient for most cuts.
Are these panels fire-rated?
These panels are intended for standard residential use; please check your local building codes regarding fire safety requirements for wall coverings.
How do I seal the joints between panels?
Use a clear or color-matched bathroom-grade silicone sealant to ensure a watertight bond at all joints and corners.
Can this panel be used in a steam room?
No, these panels are designed for standard bathroom environments and are not intended for extreme temperatures found in steam rooms.
What is the thickness of the panel?
The panel is 10mm thick, providing excellent structural rigidity.
Troubleshooting
Panel is bowing or not sitting flush against the wall
Ensure the wall surface is perfectly flat. If the wall is uneven, use timber battens to create a plumb framework before attaching the panels.
Edge seams are not meeting perfectly
Double-check the cut edge for burrs or debris; use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the edge before final placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Neptune panels, ensure your underlying substrate is clean, dry, and level. The panels can be cut using a fine-tooth handsaw or a jigsaw with a blade suitable for plastics. When applying, use a high-quality, manufacturer-recommended waterproof adhesive suitable for PVC wall claddings.
For care, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh acidic cleaners, as these can dull the premium marble finish over time. A mixture of mild soap and water applied with a soft microfiber cloth is sufficient to keep the panels looking like new. Always check the seal at the base of the shower or bath with a high-grade silicone sealant to prevent water from wicking behind the panel edges.
