Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely dry, clean, and free of dust or grease. Use a suitable, high-strength waterproof PVC adhesive and apply it evenly. Allow adequate drying time as per adhesive instructions.
Difficulty cutting the panel cleanly
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or jigsaw specifically designed for cutting plastic. Clamp the panel securely and make slow, steady cuts to prevent chipping or cracking.
Water seeping behind the panel
Verify that all edges and joints are properly sealed with a suitable bathroom-grade silicone sealant. Ensure the adhesive has created a complete bond with the wall and panel.
Matte finish appears dull or scratched
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. For minor scratches, professional PVC repair kits might be an option, but prevention is key.
