What are the best practices for a flawless DIY installation?
Acclimatize WPC, timber and acoustic panels flat in the room for at least 48 hours before installing.
Do outdoor panels get faded or damaged by the sun?
Our outdoor composite lines carry a UV-inhibiting capped co-extrusion shield that blocks UV and prevents degradation, bleaching and peeling. Some minor colour settling can occur over a decade of permanent, high UV exposure, but the capped technology avoids the intense fading you see on basic, unshielded plastics.
Are PVC panels safe to use behind a kitchen stove or near a fireplace?
Our PVC and WPC lines carry fire-retardant listings, but they are engineered polymer composites and must never be exposed to roughly 60°C (140°F) constant heat or to direct flame. Behind a range top, keep a 6-inch air clearance from the burner zone, or fit a stainless-steel or tempered-glass splash guard over that zone. Keep the panels away from the firebox opening of a fireplace. When in doubt about clearances, follow the appliance manufacturer's specifications.
How do I finish the exposed raw edges or corners of a fluted wall?
Use matching, colour-coordinated finishing trims. We offer L-shape metal trims, universal end-caps and exterior corner mouldings across the collections to cap raw edges and turn corners cleanly. Alternatively, sand the cut edges with a fine grit and touch them up with a colour-matched paint or a wood-finish marker so the trimmed edge disappears.
How is coverage listed, and what does one box cover?
Each product page lists the coverage for that line — either the area a single box covers or the dimensions of an individual panel, so you can divide your wall area straight into it. Panel sizes vary between the PVC, fluted, acoustic and peel-and-stick ranges, so always use the figure on the exact product you're buying rather than assuming. If a listing is unclear or you want a hand sizing an order, contact us with your measurements and we'll work out the box count with you.
