INSTALLATION PRODUCTS
The right wall panel adhesive depends on the panel, the wall surface and how much initial grab the job needs. Our range covers standard panel adhesive, high grab adhesive and complete installation kits, with products chosen for use alongside our PVC bathroom wall panels.
Apply the recommended adhesive in roughly 6-inch circles across the back of each full panel. Use two tubes per panel, fit to a clean, stable and suitable prepared surface, then press the panel firmly into position to ensure good adhesive contact and engage the initial grab.
PVC bathroom panels have a smooth, non-porous surface. That is one of the reasons they are so easy to clean, but it also means the adhesive needs to be capable of bonding reliably to non-porous PVC as well as the prepared wall surface behind it.
For Bathroom Panels Direct PVC panels, Soudal Grip All Hybrid Polymer is the adhesive we recommend. We use a hybrid polymer adhesive because it retains a slight degree of flexibility after curing and can adhere to a wide range of suitable prepared surfaces, including non-porous materials such as PVC. Those properties make it particularly well suited to bathroom panel installation.
Used by installers nationwide. Its slight flexibility and ability to bond to suitable porous and non-porous surfaces are why it is the only adhesive we recommend when installing Bathroom Panels Direct PVC panels.
