Product Information
Full details
The Starline White & Matt Bronze Carrara Marble Wall Panel is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking an elegant, modern, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional bathroom tiles. Its key benefit is providing a seamless, waterproof, and grout-free finish that is quick and easy to install, even over existing tiles. A potential caveat is that while profiles are used for corners, the main panel installation relies on a tongue and groove system which requires careful fitting for a truly seamless look. This panel offers the sophisticated aesthetic of Carrara marble with the practical advantages of PVC construction.

What is the difference between these panels and tiles?

Troubleshooting
Panels do not fit together smoothly.
Ensure there are no obstructions or adhesive residue in the tongue and groove channels. Check that the panels are aligned correctly and not warped. Trim any excess material if necessary.
Water is seeping behind the panels.
Check that all edges and corners are properly sealed with waterproof sealant. Ensure the tongue and groove joints are tight and that any adhesive used is fully waterproof.
Panel surface is scratched or damaged.
While durable, avoid using abrasive cleaning tools. Minor scratches may be difficult to remove completely. For significant damage, panel replacement may be necessary.
Adhesive is not bonding correctly.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an adhesive specifically recommended for PVC wall panels and follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions precisely.
