Fixing panels around a bath - what to do about mould growth?

30-06-2014

Many thanks for your questions. All of our wall panels can be used as bathroom panels, and vice versa. Using our wall panels is very advantageous compared to using traditional methods such as ceramic tiling – our panels are easy to install, maintain and keep clean. You simply wipe them down and there is no grout, so there’s nowhere for mould to take hold. If the panels are fitted correctly then we are happy to offer a ten year guarantee on all our products. You can clad our panels directly to tiles, so long as the wall surface you're looking to clad to is tiled all the way up - if the surface is only tiled part way up, then you'll have a 'lowered' section where there are no tiles. This wouldn't work. You have to attach our panels to a completely flat, flush surface. So you'd either have to remove the tiles, or 'fill in' the lowered section so it was level with the tiled section. If the wall area is completely tiled then you shouldn't have any problems, so long as there are no loose or missing tiles. If they're ceramic tiles that are particularly glossy you may be best served sanding them down first so as to help create a key for the adhesive. If the existing tiles are suffering from mould growth, then you would be best to remove the mould completely before fixing the panels, as otherwise you will simply be trapping the mould in, and you won’t be able to access it to treat it if it exacerbates.
