Full details
The Guardian Neptune Black Sparkle wall panel is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a modern, low-maintenance alternative to traditional bathroom tiling.

FAQs
Can I install these panels directly over old tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are secure, clean, and reasonably level.
Do I need special tools to cut the panels?
A fine-tooth hand saw or a jigsaw with a blade designed for plastics is generally sufficient for clean cuts.
Are these panels suitable for use inside a shower cubicle?
Yes, the panels are fully waterproof and specifically designed to withstand wet environments.
How do I clean the Black Sparkle finish?
Use a non-abrasive cloth with warm water and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbers.
Can I use these panels on a ceiling?
These panels are primarily intended for wall cladding; verify structural support requirements before attempting ceiling application.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not fit flush against the wall
Check the wall surface for uneven patches or debris and ensure the wall is sufficiently plumb before fixing.
Visible gaps between panels
Ensure that the panels are correctly aligned with the tongue-and-groove system and use a professional-grade waterproof adhesive during installation.
Surface scuffing during installation
Use protective film during handling and ensure that the cutting area is free of grit or sharp particles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the existing wall surface is flat, clean, and dry. While the panels can be fixed over existing tiles, check that the underlying surface is sound and capable of supporting the weight of the panels. Use compatible trims from the Neptune range—such as internal corner trims or end profiles—to frame the panels and hide cut edges. For daily care, simply wipe down the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the finish or damage the surface of the panel.
