How do you fit shower panels?
To fit a shower panel, you’ll need to:
- Switch off your water supply and mark where you’d like your panel to be positioned on the wall using a pencil.
- Drill holes into your guidelines for the wall brackets or screws. You’ll want to use a spirit level to keep the panel straight.
- Install your brackets or fixings, before attaching the panel to the wall securely.
- Seal the edges with silicone sealant to ensure a watertight seal.
Please remember, if your shower is located where the shower panel will go, you shouldn’t try to remove it unless you’re a qualified plumber. You’ll also need to check if your wall is suitable for a panel, making sure it’s flat, strong, and waterproof.
Are shower panels any good?
Yes, shower panels are a durable and aesthetically pleasing addition to the bathroom, creating a seamless finish. They’re also easy to install and much lower maintenance than tiles which need regrouting and other care.
How do you cut shower panels?
If your shower panel isn’t the right size for your wall, you’ll be happy to know that they’re usually easy to cut if they’re made from PVC, acrylic, or fiberglass. Here’s how:
- Measure and mark the cut lines on the panel
- Use a fine-toothed saw, jigsaw or utility knife if it’s a thin panel
- Cut slowly and with steadiness, keeping the cut straight at all times
- Smooth the edges with sandpaper for a clean finish
Make sure to wear gloves and protective eyewear when cutting to ensure no debris gets in your eyes.
