Measure & Cut
Measure your available space and strategize the positioning and orientation for installing your panel.
Cut your panel to size. Perform this task on a sturdy surface to guarantee a precise and neat edge. Use a Stanley knife if the edges are within the flexible part of the panel; otherwise, employ a hand saw or electric saw.
Check your panel fits the space before moving to the next step.
Adhesive & Application
Apply Adhesive. For a secure attachment, we recommend using a PVC adhesive like Liquid Nails. Apply the adhesive in a wave pattern at consistent intervals on the back of the panel to ensure adequate coverage. If the wall surface is uneven, apply additional adhesive.
Apply your panel to the surface. apply pressure on the panel to ensure even spreading of the glue. Alternatively, use double-sided tape in multiple areas on the back of the panel to avoid the need to hold it in place for a few minutes for the glue to adhere. Remember to measure your space, plan the placement, and determine the direction for installing the panel.
Installing H-Trim
Insert Once the panel is applied to the wall, simply insert the H-Trim or the duplex H-trim whichever you desire along the edge of the panel. ( If you applying in shower FILL THE EDGES OF THE H-TRIM WITH CLEAR SILICON). the panel will slide in effortlessly, as it is designed to fit the exact 5mm thickness of the panel.use water level to make your panel is straight.
continue wall
Apply. the second wall panel in the same manner as the first panel, inserting it as before. Feel free to continue your design in any way you prefer.
Custom. the panels by cutting them to your desired size, ensuring you order the correct amount of connections needed for your project.
installing corners
Cut the inner corner profile to the necessary length. For bathroom showers, apply clear silicone using a caulking gun and then place the corner to fit. If it's for non-wet areas outside the bathroom, clear silicone is not necessary. Seal the edges of the corner profile with silicone before fitting your panel into the corner profile to ensure it is water-resistant.
cap the panel
Finish. t your wall with the edge cap and if you installing in shower fill the end cap with clear silicon to make sure all water tight, and slide it on the side of the panel to seal it.
