FAQ and Precautions
Q: What is the depth of the water cube embossed pattern?
A: The embossed depth varies by mold parameters, typically between 0.5mm and 1.5mm. Refer to product test reports or physical samples for specific values.
Q: Does the embossed pattern trap dust easily?
A: The water cube pattern consists of regular grid grooves. Daily dust may settle at the groove bottom. Clean with a soft brush along the pattern direction, or use a duster or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
Q: Does the UV high-gloss surface scratch easily?
A: The UV coating has a defined surface hardness (pencil hardness rating per test report) that withstands daily wiping and minor scratches. Avoid scratching with sharp objects such as knives or keys.
Q: Can the 2-3mm thin panel be installed on uneven walls?
A: This product requires a flat substrate (recommended deviation ≤2mm over 2 meters). If the substrate is uneven, apply leveling compound before installation; otherwise, the panel may follow substrate irregularities, resulting in a wavy appearance.
Q: Can it be used in humid environments such as bathrooms?
A: The product is water and mold resistant, suitable for bathroom dry areas (sink walls, toilet background walls). For shower interior walls, use mold-resistant sealant at the joints and avoid prolonged water accumulation.
Precautions
Check substrate flatness, dryness, and cleanliness before installation. Ensure no loose dust, grease, or loose sections.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade (60+ teeth) or CNC router for cutting. Cut from the front side of the panel to avoid burrs or chipping.
Use neutral eco-friendly adhesives (e.g., MS adhesive, PVC-specific adhesive). Avoid solvent-based adhesives containing toluene or xylene that may damage the UV coating.
Clean with a soft cloth, soft brush, or sponge and neutral detergent. Avoid steel wool, stiff brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong acids/alkalis.
Store panels flat with stack height not exceeding one meter. Avoid heavy pressure. Keep the embossed surface away from sharp objects.
Protect panel surfaces and edges during transport. The three-dimensional embossed surface is sensitive to scratches from heavy objects.
For large-area wall installations, allow expansion gaps as per product instructions (1-2mm gaps per 5 meters recommended).
Avoid using transparent adhesive tape for temporary fixing on the UV surface, as residue may damage the glossy layer.
