FAQs
Is this panel suitable for a ceiling installation?
Showerwall panels are designed for wall applications in wet environments. Ceiling installation is not recommended unless specifically approved by the manufacturer for a particular application.
Do I need to use a special adhesive?
Yes, it is crucial to use an adhesive specifically recommended by Showerwall for their panels to ensure a strong, waterproof bond and to maintain the product's guarantee.
What is the difference between Exterior Grade MDF and Plywood cores?
Both are suitable for bathrooms. Exterior Grade MDF offers excellent stability and a smooth surface, while Plywood provides inherent moisture resistance and a strong core.
How do I measure for the correct panel size?
Measure the height and width of the area you intend to cover. The 2440mm height is standard for most walls, and the 900mm width covers a significant area. Always account for any doorways or window reveals.
Can I install this panel in a commercial wet room?
Showerwall panels are designed for domestic use and standard domestic wet areas. For commercial applications, consult with Showerwall directly to confirm suitability and any specific installation requirements.
What are the 'trims' mentioned?
Trims are finishing pieces that cover the edges and corners of the panels, providing a neat and professional look. Specific trims are available for internal corners, external corners, and end stops.
How do I clean the Silver Slate Gloss finish without damaging it?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not fit snugly into the groove.
Check for any debris or obstructions in the groove or on the tongue. Ensure panels have been acclimatized to room temperature for at least 24 hours before installation.
Water ingress at the seams.
Ensure the appropriate Showerwall sealant has been applied correctly to all joints and edges during installation. Check if trims are properly fitted and sealed.
Gloss finish appears dull or scratched.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Light scratches may be buffed out with a specific laminate polish, but deep scratches are permanent.
Panel is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade designed for laminate or plastics. Ensure the panel is securely supported during cutting and wear appropriate safety equipment.
