FAQs
What is the difference between Proclick and Square Edge panels?
Proclick panels feature an interlocking system for a seamless join, while Square Edge panels have straight edges that require sealant for joining.
Can I install this panel myself?
Yes, the panels are designed for fast and easy DIY installation. However, ensure you follow all instructions for cutting, fitting, and sealing.
What type of sealant should I use?
Use a high-quality, mold-resistant silicone sealant specifically designed for bathroom and wet area applications.
How do I clean the Urban Concrete finish?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is Exterior-Grade MDF suitable for all bathrooms?
Exterior-Grade MDF is treated for moisture resistance and is suitable for most bathroom and shower environments when installed correctly.
Do I need special tools to cut the panels?
A fine-toothed hand saw or a jigsaw with a fine-cut blade is recommended for clean cuts. Always wear appropriate safety gear.
What maintenance is required?
Minimal maintenance is required. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient to keep the panels looking their best.
