FAQs
What is the difference between Plywood and Exterior Grade MDF cores?
Exterior Grade MDF is specifically treated to offer enhanced moisture resistance, making it ideal for the demanding environment of a bathroom or shower. Plywood can also be suitable depending on its grade and application.
Can I install these panels myself?
Yes, the Proclick system is designed for straightforward DIY installation. However, accurate measuring, cutting, and sealing are crucial for a waterproof finish. If you are unsure, professional installation is recommended.
How do I clean the Pearlescent White finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the guarantee period for Showerwall panels?
Showerwall Pearlescent White panels come with a 30-year guarantee when installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Can I fit these panels over existing wallpaper?
It is generally not recommended to fit directly over wallpaper, as it may not provide a stable, dry, or sufficiently rigid substrate. The wallpaper should be removed, and the underlying wall prepared.
What are the dimensions of the panel?
The panels measure 2440mm in height, 1179mm in visible width, and 10.5mm in depth.
Do I need to seal the joints?
Yes, while the Proclick system creates a tight fit, it is essential to seal all edges, corners, and around any cut-outs (like for pipes or shower fittings) with a dedicated waterproof sealant to ensure a 100% waterproof system.
Troubleshooting
Panels do not click together smoothly.
Check for any debris or adhesive residue on the Proclick edges. Ensure panels are aligned correctly. If the wall is uneven, the panels may not seat properly; address wall flatness first.
Water leaks at joints or edges.
Ensure appropriate waterproof adhesive and sealant have been used correctly on all joints, edges, and around penetrations. Re-apply sealant if necessary.
Panel surface appears dull or streaky.
Clean the surface with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure all cleaning residue is rinsed off.
Panel surface is scratched or damaged.
Minor scratches may be buffed out using a plastic polish designed for gloss surfaces. Significant damage may require panel replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the existing wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. If fitting over tiles, ensure they are well-adhered and the grout lines are smooth or filled.
- Cutting: Measure and cut panels using appropriate tools (e.g., a fine-tooth saw or jigsaw). Always wear safety glasses.
- Adhesion: Apply a suitable waterproof adhesive (e.g., Showerwall's own sealant adhesive) to the back of the panel or the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. For the Proclick system, ensure adhesive is applied to the tongue/groove edges where required.
- Installation: Engage the Proclick joint by pushing the panel firmly into place. Use temporary supports if necessary to hold panels while adhesive cures.
- Sealing: Apply a dedicated Showerwall sealant around the edges, corners, and any cut-outs for fixtures to maintain the waterproof integrity.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use in bathrooms, showers, and other high-humidity areas.
- Can be installed over most solid wall substrates, including plasterboard, brickwork, and existing tiles (provided they are sound and level).
- Avoid installation in areas subject to direct, prolonged high-pressure water jets, such as the direct spray from certain shower heads, without appropriate sealing.
Care:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive household cleaner.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the gloss finish.
- Wipe away soap scum and water spots promptly to maintain appearance.
