Splashpanel Installation Guide

Installing PVC bathroom panels is a relatively straightforward process, and it's a popular choice for those looking for a cost-effective and low-maintenance alternative to traditional tiles. Here's a general guide on how to install PVC bathroom panels:

Splashpanel - Materials and Tools Needed:

1. PVC bathroom panels
2. Adhesive (specifically designed for PVC panels)
3. Measuring tape
4. Spirit level
5. Pencil
6. Fine-tooth saw or utility knife
7. Panel adhesive or construction adhesive

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Surface:

   • Ensure that the walls are clean, dry, and free from any dust or debris.
   • If there are existing tiles, you may choose to remove them or install the PVC panels directly over them. If removing tiles, make sure the surface is smooth and even.

2. Measure and Cut the Panels:

   • Measure the height and width of the walls where you'll be installing the panels.
   • Transfer the measurements to the PVC panels, and use a fine-tooth saw or utility knife to cut the panels to size.

3. Apply Adhesive:

   • Apply the recommended adhesive to the back of the panels. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific adhesive you are using.

4. Install the Panels:

   • Press the panels firmly onto the wall, starting from one corner. Use a spirit level to ensure that the panels are straight and level.
   • Continue installing the panels, interlocking the edges as you go. The interlocking design helps create a seamless appearance.

5. Cut Openings for Fixtures:

   • If your bathroom has fixtures such as outlets or switches, measure and mark their positions on the panels.
   • Use a fine-tooth saw or utility knife to cut openings for fixtures.

6. Install Trims:

   • Install trims, such as corner trims and end caps, to provide a finished look and cover any exposed edges.

7. Seal Joints and Edges:

   • Seal the joints between panels and edges with a suitable sealant to prevent water ingress.

8. Clean and Finish:

   • Clean any adhesive or sealant residue from the panels.
   • Allow the adhesive and sealant to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.

9. Optional: Install Profiles and Accessories:

   • Some PVC panel systems may have specific profiles and accessories for corners or joints. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for any additional components.

Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations specific to the PVC panels you are using.
