FAQs
Can I install this over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are securely fixed and the surface is clean and dry. Any loose tiles should be removed and the area repaired before installation.
What kind of sealant should I use?
Use a high-quality, flexible, waterproof silicone sealant specifically designed for bathrooms and wet areas to ensure a watertight seal.
How do I clean the cream tile effect surface?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap or detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Can I cut holes for shower fixtures?
Yes, you can cut holes for shower heads, taps, and other fixtures. Measure carefully and use appropriate tools for a clean cut. Seal around any penetrations.
What is the expected lifespan of these panels?
With proper installation and care, Splashwall panels are designed to provide a durable and long-lasting finish in bathroom environments.
Are these panels suitable for a ceiling?
Splashwall panels are primarily designed for vertical wall applications in showers and wet areas. Compatibility with ceiling installations would depend on specific mounting methods and environmental conditions, which are not typically covered by standard shower panel use.
Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely dry, clean, and free from dust or grease. Use the recommended waterproof adhesive and apply it evenly. Ensure sufficient pressure is applied during fitting.
Water ingress at joints or edges
Re-seal all edges and joints with a high-quality, bathroom-grade silicone sealant. Ensure there are no gaps and that sealant is applied smoothly and evenly.
Scratches or damage to the surface
Minor scratches may be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper damage, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for repair options, which may involve touch-up kits or panel replacement.
Difficulty cutting panels accurately
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw or a heavy-duty utility knife. Score the panel multiple times for cleaner cuts. Practice on a spare piece if possible.
