FAQ and Precautions
Q: Can the 10mm wall panel be used directly inside shower areas?
A: The panel is water and moisture resistant and suitable for bathroom dry areas and sink walls. For direct shower area walls (consistently exposed to water spray), sealing at joints with sanitary silicone and proper drainage slope are recommended. The material itself is non-absorbent, but joint waterproofing is required.
Q: What should be considered when transporting and handling 1000mm wide panels?
A: Wide panels have a large surface area per piece. Two-person handling is recommended to avoid bending or edge damage from uneven force. Transport flat and secure to prevent vibration friction.
Q: What cleaning methods can the wear-resistant surface withstand?
A: Clean with a damp cloth, sponge, or soft-bristle brush with neutral detergent. Avoid steel wool, stiff brushes, or abrasive cleaning pastes.
Q: Can this product be used for flooring?
A: This product is designed for wall covering and wall protection. It is not recommended for flooring applications, which require higher compressive strength and slip resistance.
Q: What are the specific requirements for the wall substrate?
A: The substrate must be flat (no more than 3mm deviation over 2 meters), dry, free of loose dust, and free of grease. Installation is possible over cement walls, drywall, existing ceramic tiles, and plywood substrates.
Precautions
Store panels flat in the installation environment for 24 to 48 hours before installation to acclimate to local temperature and humidity.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade (60+ teeth recommended) or professional PVC cutting equipment for straight, burr-free cuts.
Follow product instructions for expansion gaps (typically 3-5mm per 5 meters along the wall perimeter).
Clean with a soft cloth and neutral detergent. Avoid strong acids, strong alkalis, solvent-based cleaners, or abrasive cleaners.
Store panels flat with stack height not exceeding one meter. Avoid heavy pressure or prolonged leaning against walls that may cause deformation.
For bathroom installations, use mold-resistant neutral silicone sealant at panel joints, inside corners, and outside corners.
Avoid solvent-based adhesives containing toluene or xylene. Use PVC-compatible adhesives or click-lock installation systems.
