FAQs
What is the Showerwall Proclick system?
The Proclick system is a patented interlocking mechanism that allows Showerwall panels to click together seamlessly, creating a watertight joint without the need for separate trims or grout.
Can I install these panels over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are sound, securely fixed, and form a flat, stable surface. The Showerwall panels can be adhered directly over them using the appropriate adhesive.
Do I need to use special glue or sealant?
Yes, it is crucial to use adhesives and sealants recommended by Showerwall to ensure a watertight installation and to maintain the 30-year guarantee. Refer to the product's installation guide for specifics.
How do I clean the Grey Volterra Gloss panels?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive household cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials and solvents that could damage the gloss finish.
What is the warranty period for Showerwall panels?
Showerwall panels come with a 30-year guarantee against manufacturing defects and water ingress when installed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Are Plywood and Exterior-Grade MDF options suitable for showers?
Yes, both Plywood and Exterior-Grade MDF options are designed for use in bathrooms and shower areas. Exterior-Grade MDF offers enhanced moisture resistance.
How do I measure for the correct panel size?
Panels are often specified by their total width and visible width (in brackets). Ensure you account for the width taken up by the Proclick joint when planning your layout to achieve the desired coverage.
Troubleshooting
Panels do not click together easily.
Ensure the Proclick edges are clean and free from debris. Check that the panels are aligned correctly and not obstructed by adhesive.
Water ingress at the seams.
Verify that the correct adhesive and sealant have been used and applied according to manufacturer instructions. Ensure panels are firmly clicked together and all edges and joints are properly sealed.
Scratches or damage to the gloss finish.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor surface scratches may be buffed out with a plastic polish specifically designed for gloss surfaces, but deep scratches are difficult to repair.
Panel is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed blade designed for laminate or plastic. Make a scoring line first and cut slowly to avoid chipping or splintering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the existing wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. The panels can be fitted directly over suitable substrates like existing tiles or plasterboard.
- Cutting: Cut panels to size using appropriate tools (e.g., a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw). Ensure cuts are straight for a proper fit.
- Installation: Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., Showerwall sealant or a dedicated panel adhesive) to the wall or the back of the panel. Engage the Proclick system by clicking panels together, ensuring a tight seal.
- Finishing: Use sealant around edges, corners, and around fixtures like taps and showerheads to maintain the waterproof integrity.
Compatibility:
- Substrates: Suitable for plasterboard, existing tiles (ensure they are sound and flat), and Exterior-Grade MDF. Plywood and Exterior-Grade MDF options are available.
- Environment: Designed for bathrooms and showers, but not recommended for constant submersion.
- Adhesives/Sealants: Use only recommended adhesives and sealants to maintain the 30-year guarantee.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Mild, non-abrasive household cleaners can be used if necessary.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the gloss finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check sealant around edges and fixtures and reapply if necessary.
