Hi Tin Man. Most the panels you will see in my videos are made up of 9mm waterproof ply with a thin laminated coloured Front. Advantage of these is they are solid/and great for screwing stuff on to like toilet roll holders and shower risers, we do also use pvc panels to. They have a hollow core So they are a lot easier to carry. Also they are half the price. Disadvantage is they are a bit weaker as they are hollow, can’t screw straight into them and they chip easy. Never had any problems with expansion over the 8ish years Iv been installing.
Couple of questions. Do you put up pieces of wood props to hold the wetwall into place until adhesive is set. and do you cut off the tongue and groove piece where is goes into a corner jointing piece or end piece where you start from.
Hello Phil thanks for the comment. We use a high grab adhesive which sticks enough straight away! If your adhesive isn’t that great and not holding yes supports required. I used to use a plasterboard pump jack. Yes cut of all the 👅 or groove so board fits in nice and snug! Good luck mate
You cut the tongue off so that you could slot it into the trim properly which meant that you were left with groove for the next joint, obviously not a problem for a professional but for us amateurs wouldn't it be better to cut the groove off, leaving you with the tongue ? Just subscribed BTW
Hi thanks for watching and subscribing. Much appreciated! So yes I would have cut the tongue of wall side. Stuck the board. Then the next boards tongue would go in the groove from the board Iv already stuck. Hope that makes sense. I’m confusing myself now lol. It’s a lot harder trying to do it the other way round.
do you use any trims on the bottom? or do they just rest on floor? and do you attach the internal trims with adhesive or screws to the wall or only to board? Great video looks pukka
Hi thanks for watching. We normally panel to the floor no trims required, unless full wet room. If you are panelling onto shower tray or bath there is a special trim that can be used. I personally don’t use it. I pack the panel up around 2mm so when I silicone it gets right underneath panel. I normally adhesive trims in place. No need to screw . Hope that helps
Hi, I have a bathroom that has tiles up the first half of the wall, then it goes down to drywall up the top. I want to put these multi panels over the whole wall but am worried about the slight step change from the tile to the drywall. Do you think this would be a problem?
Hi thanks for your comment. So your talking about maybe 10mm difference in levels? Anything over 5mm I would probably pack out rather than using a ton of adhisive. If it’s around 10mm cheapest way is to probably stick 9mm plasterboard to the wall first. Or if it’s less use something like 6mm ply on the wall first. You can cut the ply into strips To reduce costs if needed. Good luck. Personally I would hack the tiles of and then install the boards straight on to the wall but what ever you feel comfortable with. Hope that helps
No need! If water is getting behind your panels You have some serious issues!Personally in a situation If I needed to reboard the walls before multi panelling. I would only use a backer board from the floor to min 100mm above top of bath or shower tray so I can get a good seal around tray or bath. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks David. We use an adhesive which the manufactures supply with the boards. The make is multipanel. It’s the best on the market, I think. It’s super high grab power ideal for holding boards in place. You can use any other grab adhesive like gripfill, extreme stick and stixall. But you may find you have to wedge boards in place until the adhesive go’s of.
Great, the wall with the pipes sticking out is already pre-cut. Do you have the link to the Pre-Cut Board Makers? Save me tons of work that will. (NOT).
Thank you. Haha yes im not greatest fan either. Most good plumbing suppliers supply them now as they are getting more popular. We used to use plumbase, think they where about £120 a sheet 1.2x2.4. The company I work for now gets them direct from multipanel. Pastic hollow boards are available at places like Eurocell at half the price but they are a lot weaker and easy to chip size 1x2.4. hope that helps. George
not your fault, but thats going to be a disgusting bathroom lol. thanks for the vid, im doing my 3rd bathroom and the walls are fucked so instead of spending loads of time and money on plastering and tiling im using these.
Ha Ha Brilliant! i Know! the designer is a wally. i know it was a student let but the boards are mostly the same price so they could have picked something nicer. good luck mate make sure you use some decent grab adhesive!
Mate you should also show how you cut the boards and trims, not just sticking them on
Hi. Thanks for the comment. On my next paneling job, I will go threw the cutting stages in more detail.
What's the panels made of? PVC? Any problems with thermal expansion?

Hello, please may I ask why this is mounted on top of the shower tray (or perhaps bath) instead of going behind? Thank you
Hi. Less likely to leak doing it this way.

Do you not need waterproof backer boards up before putting up good quality multi panels.
No need! If water is getting behind your panels You have some serious issues!Personally in a situation If I needed to reboard the walls before multi panelling. I would only use a backer board from the floor to min 100mm above top of bath or shower tray so I can get a good seal around tray or bath. Hope that makes sense.
Can these panels be fixed over tiles?
Yes mate no problem going on top of old tiles
Whats the cost on getting a done ?

What adhesive did you use?
Thanks David.

Do you have the link to the Pre-Cut Board Makers?
Save me tons of work that will. (NOT).

Hi no just 2 days panelling. We do a average bathroom all in for around £5000
