As one of the leading providers of shower panels, we receive many inquiries from customers interested in installing shower panels over existing tiles. We understand that many people are looking for a quick and easy renovation solution without the hassle of tile removal, especially when dealing with damaged or outdated tiles that are difficult to maintain. Shower wall panels are a great option for those who want a versatile and easy-to-install solution. These panels can be fitted over a range of surfaces, including tiles, plasterboard, and more.
They are also ideal for those who want to avoid the hassle of cleaning grout and maintaining dirty tiles. In this blog post, we’ll explore why shower wall panels are not only a feasible option but also a recommended one for installation over tiles. Wetwall panels are a popular choice for their hygienic, easy-to-clean surface that enhances the shower’s aesthetic while providing 100% waterproof protection. Before proceeding with the installation, it is important to remove any loose tiles and ensure that the surface is properly cleaned and free from any soap or residue. Wall panels should also be applied to completely dry tiles using a high-grip, cladding-specific adhesive for optimal bonding.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install shower wall panels over tiles:
1. Prepare the surface by cleaning and drying it thoroughly.
2. Measure and mark the panel dimensions on the tiles.
3. Cut the panels to size and sand the edges for a smooth finish.
4. If your panels have a smooth back, roughen it using a sanding tool to enhance adhesive grip.
5. Begin by installing a corner piece with a bit of adhesive, then place the panel at an angle to avoid premature contact with the wall.
6. Use foam tape and adhesive for a secure fit, applying adhesive in a narrow line surrounded by larger circles for even distribution.
In addition to these steps, here are some top tips to make your installation process even smoother:
– Choose panels with a tongue and groove system for a seamless fit.
– Opt for high-quality panels that resist fading and stand the test of time.
– Use the right accessories, such as sealants and adhesives made specifically for shower panels.
