Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering properly
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and flat. Verify that the correct PU adhesive is being used and applied correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure sufficient adhesive is used and the panel is pressed firmly into place.
Panel appears to be flexing or bowing
This may indicate insufficient adhesive or an uneven substrate. Check for consistent adhesive coverage and ensure the wall surface is flat. For larger areas, consider additional adhesive points or ensuring the substrate is rigid.
Cutting the panels is difficult or producing rough edges
Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife specifically designed for cutting plastics. Ensure the blade is sharp for clean cuts. Score and snap for thinner cuts if applicable.
Visible gaps at seams or edges
Ensure panels are cut precisely. Utilize the color-matched trims available to cover any slight imperfections or gaps for a professional finish.
