Whoa. On previous vid, silicon was also put on tray, which then bonds with the silicon on the strip and forms a perfect seal. Why didn't you do that in this vid?
Do you need to put some silicon in the corners where the clad seal has been cut at an angle to stop water getting through? And can I use internal corner trims with this?
I’m about to order panels and trim but I have questions! Do you need the end caps if the seal is going up against a screen? How long is each seal strip? What if they need to be joined together for a longer shower tray? How are they sealed at the corners? Thanks!
Hi Jessica, if finishing up to a shower screen with a cladseal, you do not need to use the end caps. Each Cladseal is 1.8M (1800mm) long and is generally long enough for shower trays up to 1800mm in length. You cant join the cladseals as this would create a gap for water ingress. To seal in the corners you fill the cladseal with silicone as per the fitting guide and then once the panels are installed use a bead of silicone to seal the panel and the corner of the cladsea.
Question to The Panel Company and any experienced bathroom installation pros in the comment section! ! I have a shower over a bath. My 10mm depth panels will be coming down from the ceiling & meeting sone original 1950s tiles (white normal sized then narrow black ones at the top) that are above two sides of the bath, I love the tiles so don't want to remove. The tiles are just UNDER 10mm depth and I guess with the panel adhesive the panel will be a couple of mms proud of the tiles. What edging strips would you recommend for the bottom length of the cladding panel please?
Hello, I bought this from you and whilst I was away the bathroom was completed this weekend and the fitter has forgot to install it. Is three anyway to add this without removing panels. Or would it be the case to remove panels and start again.
Unfortunately without removing your panels or tray this isn't possible. As this is an optional extra providing the fitter has installed your boards correctly. Your bathroom will still be fully waterproof.
Can you use these for bath tubs and then use tiles on top of the fixing?? I.e fit as per video around bath tub and fix with Sealant and screws then tile upwards from cladseal ?/
Yes that would be absolutely fine. We didn't have a bath on hand to show this :( One thing i would note is our cladseals are designed for PVC Wall Panels not tiles. It may be that you have to find a tile alternative. for reference ours come in 15mm or 18mm
These videos are great by the team and their feedback/responses are rapid. The only issue I can see with the cladseal which I will encounter that others may do too is, I had to remove tiles in my case (due to plumbing for an electric shower) which means the panels need to go behind the shower screen frame on both sides (otherwise the screen is too small). I can't take the cladseal strip behind the shower screen as mentioned in the video. The only hack I can think of is the cladseal strip ends before the screen framework, you then have to continue the panel past this to the width of the shower screen frame with it dropping lower to the shower tray (and have to silicone a small edge of it to the tray). If anyone else has encounters this, I'd be interested to see what their solution was.
Could you take the seal behind the shower frame and notch out a space for it as needed? If you use a knife heated with a flame it cuts through the plastic seal quite easily
Hi Dj, The cladseal is recommended on clean installs where you can install it on top of the shower tray and against the wall, in the case of tiles if your install is already water tight you may be better installing them flush with the shower tray and using some silicone to seal.
Our clad-seals are 1.8m you may get away with your suggestion but its not something we would recommend. if you let us know what size you need it might be something we can get ordered in for you.
I don't think this is a good video at all. Following these instructions can lead to water ingress. You need silicon between the tray and the wall where the gap is, also definitely on the wall behind the cladseal strip where the holes are, also where the mitre join is and on the bottom where the panels sit. Also, some trays don't have a ledge that you can push the cladseal onto. No mention or demo of Step 3 in the instructions stuck into each strip - the need to notch out the mitre joint and fill with silicon.
Thank you very much for the feedback. This guide is intended as a general overview for fitting a clad seal and we will add a more complete guide in the near future.
Is there any recommended method to redoing/resealing this if the strip or panel/clading has been damaged at the bottom? I dont know if the type that i have has been fixed to the wall but i dont want to replace all the panels
Good Morning, The key is whether the cladseal trim is secured to the shower tray with a good bed of silicone sealant. If it is you could apply a bead of clear silicone at the base of the panel where it meets the shelf of the cladseal. However, I would recommend removing the panels and fitting the base trim correctly following the manufacturer's guidelines.
Good Morning, Yes you do. Probably the best guide for fitting a Cladseal trim can be found here - claddingplus.co.uk/cladseal-shower-trim/ Hope this helps

is there a trim that you recommend for a rounded edge tile?

Hi can you use these when the tray has been tanked with membrane tape like i mean will it seal against membrane tape
Hi Michael, yes it will seal to membrane tape
Do you still use an end cap if butting up to a shower screen
Do you not need sealant on bottom of panel to stop water going under it?
Not if you are using a clad seal strip, otherwise a small bede of silicone would help.
Can you use these for bath tubs and then use tiles on top of the fixing?? I.e fit as per video around bath tub and fix with Sealant and screws then tile upwards from cladseal ?/

We will address this shortly in a new video!
@@ThePanelCompanydid you post a video covering this. ..... I'm struggling to find it!
@@tonymariner5519 This video deals with it and is in my opinion much better (start at 2 mins if you know what equipment is needed).

Wound u put silicone on back if fitting over tiles aswell as screws
Hi Dj, The cladseal is recommended on clean installs where you can install it on top of the shower tray and against the wall, in the case of tiles if your install is already water tight you may be better installing them flush with the shower tray and using some silicone to seal.
Can the Cladseal Strip be joined together if not long enough?
If it can would the be a butt joint?
Our clad-seals are 1.8m you may get away with your suggestion but its not something we would recommend. if you let us know what size you need it might be something we can get ordered in for you.
Does the clad seal strip work with an external corner piece?
Hi Ian, Yes that would work you can just attach it flush with the cladseal.
I'm not sure how this works with having to fit a new bath screen. Wall panels to go over tiles around bath, then a shower screen fitted?!
Yes, you can screw the likes of shower screens directly through the shower panel and the tile if you need.
I don't think this is a good video at all. Following these instructions can lead to water ingress. You need silicon between the tray and the wall where the gap is, also definitely on the wall behind the cladseal strip where the holes are, also where the mitre join is and on the bottom where the panels sit.

Do I seal around the tray and wall prior to installation this clad strip?
