FAQs
What is the exact size of each panel?
Each panel is approximately 38cm wide, 100cm tall, and 6mm thick.
How much area does one pack cover?
One pack contains 3 panels and covers approximately 1.14 square meters.
Are these panels waterproof?
The panels are made from moisture-resistant MDF, making them suitable for areas with moderate humidity. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be exposed to direct water or heavy moisture.
Can I install these panels in a bathroom?
Yes, they can be installed in bathrooms, particularly in areas away from direct water splash. Ensure they are properly primed and painted for best protection. For shower areas, tile or other waterproof materials are recommended.
What kind of paint should I use?
Use a good quality interior primer suitable for MDF, followed by your preferred interior paint (e.g., acrylic, latex). Ensure the paint is applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
How are the panels installed?
Installation is typically done by gluing the panels to the wall and securing them with panel pins or brad nails.
Do the panels come pre-primed?
No, the panels come as raw, unprimed MDF and need to be primed and painted by the user.
Where are these panels made?
These panels are made in Lancashire, UK.
Troubleshooting
Panels do not fit together snugly.
Check for any debris or damage in the tongue and groove edges. Ensure panels are aligned correctly before pushing them together. Slight sanding of edges might be necessary if there's a minor obstruction.
Paint is not adhering well.
Ensure the panels have been thoroughly cleaned and dried before priming. Use a high-quality primer specifically designed for MDF. Allow adequate drying time for both primer and paint coats.
Adhesive is not holding panels firmly.
Ensure the wall surface and the back of the panels are clean and dry. Use a sufficient amount of appropriate adhesive for MDF paneling. Supplement with panel pins or nails for added support, especially on larger sections.
Visible seams after painting.
Ensure panels are pushed together tightly during installation. For stubborn gaps, you can carefully fill them with a paintable wood filler or caulk before priming and painting. Apply filler sparingly and sand smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. Measure and plan your layout before cutting.
- Cutting: Panels can be cut to size using standard woodworking tools such as a hand saw or a circular saw. Wear appropriate safety gear.
- Installation: Apply a suitable adhesive to the back of the panel or directly to the wall. For extra security, use panel pins or brad nails along the edges and at intervals. The tongue-and-groove system allows panels to slot together easily.
- Priming & Painting: Once installed, apply a quality primer to all surfaces, paying attention to edges and grooves. After the primer has dried, apply your chosen paint color. Multiple coats may be necessary for full coverage. Use a paint suitable for MDF.
Compatibility:
These panels are designed for interior use on standard drywall or plaster walls. They are compatible with most standard interior paint and primer systems.
Care:
Clean the panels with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the painted surface. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap diluted in water, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth and then a dry cloth.
