FAQs
How long does it take to install the panels?
Installation is significantly faster than tiling. A single person can often install a few panels in a day, depending on the area size and complexity. The main time factor is the sealant curing period.
Can I install these panels myself?
Yes, the panels are designed for a fast and easy installation, suitable for DIY enthusiasts. However, ensuring a perfect finish requires care in measuring, cutting, and sealing. A professional installation is always an option.
What is the lead time for these panels?
The Showerwall Acrylic Collection panels are made to order, with a typical lead time of 3-4 weeks from order placement to delivery.
Are these panels suitable for a steam shower?
Yes, the panels are 100% waterproof and designed for wet environments like shower enclosures. Ensure all joints and edges are properly sealed.
How do I clean the Deco Midnight panels?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and harsh chemicals to prevent scratching the high-gloss finish.
What is covered by the 30-year guarantee?
The 30-year guarantee covers manufacturing defects and product integrity when installed correctly using the recommended accessories and fitting guide. It typically excludes damage from improper installation or maintenance.
Do I need to use special tools to cut the panels?
You will need appropriate cutting tools designed for acrylic or plastic sheeting, such as a fine-toothed saw or a router with a suitable bit. Always measure twice and cut once, and ensure safety precautions are followed.
Troubleshooting
Panel won't adhere properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the correct amount of recommended sealant has been applied and that sufficient pressure was applied during installation. Check that sticky pads were used correctly to hold the panel while the sealant cured.
Visible gaps between panels
Ensure panels were cut accurately and fitted snugly. Re-apply sealant to the edges and press panels together firmly. If gaps are significant, consider if a trim was intended or if the cut needs redoing. Consult the fitting guide for edge finishing.
Surface appears scratched
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Minor scuffs may be buffed out with a specialist acrylic polish, but deep scratches may be permanent. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap.
Water ingress behind panels
This indicates an issue with the sealant application at edges or joints. Ensure all edges are properly sealed and that the panel installation is watertight. If the problem persists, contact Showerwall support.
