No small print. As long as they’ve been installed correctly, we’re that confident of our system. For full terms and conditions see www.wetwall.com

Ecological
Our panels are constructed by bonding High Pressure Laminate (HPL) to a Medite MR MDF core using a PVA (D4 rated) adhesive system to give a completely waterproof surface.
Laminated panels feel much warmer than tiles and have a significantly lower u value (Thermal insulation) 3.4 typically compared to 5.9 (tiles). The effect of this is the room loses less heat and is therefore more efficient.

Also because our panels are guaranteed for 10 years which is significantly greater than alternative materials, this reduces the need to be replaced as frequently hence the obvious environmental effect.
A balancing laminate is bonded to the reverse of the panel also using the PVA adhesive system. This ensures the panels structural stability.

Just because we think about shower panels all day long - we don’t expect you to as well. This page just covers a few of the reasons why we think our panels are the perfect solution for any bathroom.
All our panels are made on site in the same Perthshire factory since we first went into business over twenty years ago, infact we’ve even still got one or two guys on the shop-floor who have been with us since then. It’s this expertise which keeps us at the top of our market and ensures that every panel manufactured today is made to the same high standard that we have maintained over the last twenty years.

Technical Information
Tips Cutting When cutting the panels to width and height using a handsaw, the decorative face should be facing upwards. When cutting with a jigsaw or circular saw, the decorative face should be facing downwards.
Apertures A clearance of 2-3mm should be left where pipes or fittings come through the panel even where collars are to be fitted. The clearance should then be filled with Wetwall silicone sealant.
Specification
Sealing
Wetwall is constructed of a Medite MR Grade MDF, covered on the face with a high pressure laminate and a balancing laminate to the rear of the panel.
If a Wetseal is not being fitted then a 3-4mm gap should be left between the bottom of the panel and the shower tray or bath by using packers when fixing panels. The gaps should then be sealed using Wetwall silicone sealant. Wetwall silicone sealant should also be used in all the corner and capping profiles.
Our waterproof gluelines are D4 rated. The shower panels are produced with a square edged finish as standard. A tongue and grooved wall panel is available for when the panels are needed to cover larger areas.
Wall Surfaces The panels can be fixed to most surfaces using adhesive, providing they are sound and free from loose particles. The panels can also be fixed directly onto existing tiling providing they have been de-greased.
Fittings Type Width Edge Detail Length Thickness
Fittings and shower attachments can be fixed directly to the panels using suitable fixings. Heavier items such as sanitary ware and accessible furniture will require the provision of additional support behind the panels.

Fit an internal corner profile into the corner using appropriate fixings (screws), ensuring that the heads are countersunk to prevent fouling when fitting the panel. Remove the film from the face of the panel and check for defects prior to cutting to size. Apply a bead of sealant into one side of the internal corner profile, the amount of sealant applied should cover the channel bottom to a depth of at least 2mm. The panels should be fitted such that a gap is formed between the bottom of the panels and the shower tray of between 3-4mm this should be filed with sealant and cleaned off flush with the front of the panels once all the panels have been fitted. (If using a wetseal profile kit please refer to the instructions provided within kit). If end cap profiles are being used then these should be fitted to the outer edges of the panel now. Apply a generous amount of adhesive in “snakes� to the panel and fit into place ensuring that the edge of the panel is inserted into the internal corner and a good seal achieved. Repeat sections 2-6 for the second panel.
