Can I paint over these panels?
It is not recommended to paint over the Proclad PVC panels, as the paint may not adhere correctly and could peel over time. They are designed to be used with their original finish.
Troubleshooting
Panels not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely flat, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a suitable, high-strength waterproof adhesive and apply it evenly according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Difficulty cutting panels
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife. Score the panel multiple times if using a knife before snapping. Ensure the panel is well-supported during cutting.
Water seeping behind panels
Check that all edges are sealed correctly with appropriate silicone sealant and that adjacent panels are tightly butted together. Ensure any penetrations for pipes or fixtures are also sealed effectively.
Surface appears dull or marked
Clean using a soft cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, try a non-abrasive plastic cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is flat, dry, and clean before installation. These panels can be adhered directly to existing plasterboard, concrete, or tiled surfaces (provided the tiles are firmly adhered and not loose). Use a high-strength, waterproof adhesive recommended for PVC panels. Cut panels to size using a fine-toothed saw or utility knife. Fit panels snugly edge-to-edge, and use colour-matched trims for a seamless finish around edges and corners.
Compatibility: Proclad panels are designed for interior walls in wet areas. They are compatible with most standard bathroom and kitchen fittings. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room as you would with any wet area.
Care: To maintain the panels, simply wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the PVC surface.
