FAQs
Can these panels be installed directly over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are stable, level, and free from loose pieces or significant moisture damage.
Do I need special tools for installation?
You will need standard carpentry tools such as a circular saw, jigsaw, drill, and a spirit level to ensure a professional finish.
Are these panels suitable for use in a steam room?
While highly moisture-resistant, they are specifically designed for standard shower environments; please consult local building codes for steam room applications.
How do I seal the joints between panels?
Use a high-quality bathroom-grade silicone sealant to ensure a watertight bond at all joints and corners.
What is the best way to clean the Sovana finish?
Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with warm soapy water. Avoid bleach and scouring pads.
Is the panel thickness consistent across the range?
The Mermaid Elite range is standardized at 10mm thickness for consistent installation.
Troubleshooting
Visible gaps between panels
Ensure the substrate is perfectly plumb and level before fixing, and use a professional-grade joint sealant during assembly.
Difficulty cutting the panel cleanly
Use a fine-tooth saw blade and apply masking tape over the cut line to prevent chipping the laminate surface.
Panel feels loose after installation
Verify that the adhesive used is compatible with the wall substrate and that the recommended curing time was observed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a clean, flat, and dry substrate. These panels can be mounted directly over existing tiles if they are stable, or fixed to a timber stud wall or moisture-resistant plasterboard. Ensure you use recommended high-bond adhesives and sealants to maintain the waterproof integrity of the installation. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh acidic chemicals that may scratch or degrade the finish. A soft cloth and mild soap are sufficient for daily maintenance. Periodically inspect the silicone sealant at the base and corners to ensure it remains intact and continues to prevent water penetration.
