FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Proclick system?
The Proclick system allows panels to slot together seamlessly, creating a watertight joint without the need for separate trims. This results in a smooth, grout-free finish that is easier to clean and maintain.
Can I install Showerwall panels over existing tiles?
Yes, Showerwall panels can be installed directly over existing tiles, provided the tile surface is flat, sound, and clean. This can save significant time and mess associated with tile removal.
How do I clean the Washed Charcoal panels?
Clean the panels using a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What is the core material of the panels?
The panels are available with either a Plywood core or an Exterior-Grade MDF core. Both are suitable for use in bathroom and shower environments.
How long is the guarantee for Showerwall panels?
Showerwall panels come with a 30-year guarantee, providing long-term confidence in their durability and performance.
Do I need special tools to install Showerwall?
While standard DIY tools can be used, a sharp saw with a fine blade is recommended for clean cuts. Specific Showerwall adhesives and sealants are also required.
Is this product suitable for a wet room environment?
Yes, the Showerwall system is designed to be 100% waterproof and is ideal for shower enclosures, wet rooms, and areas around baths.
Troubleshooting
Panel seams are not watertight.
Ensure the Proclick mechanism is fully engaged and that the correct Showerwall sealant has been applied liberally to all joints and edges before and during installation.
Panels are difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade designed for laminate or solid surface materials. Ensure the panel is securely supported during cutting.
Surface appears dull or marked after cleaning.
You may have used an abrasive cleaner. Switch to a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, consult the manufacturer's specific cleaning recommendations.
Panel is loose or feels unstable.
Check the fixings (screws or adhesive). Ensure the substrate behind the panel is sound and that sufficient adhesive or fixings were used during installation.
Water ingress behind the panel.
This indicates a failure in the sealing. All edges, joints, and openings (e.g., for pipes or shower heads) must be meticulously sealed with the recommended waterproof sealant.
