Perform Panel Installation Guide

Perform Panel Installation Guide

Use this guide as an installation reference when fitting Perform Panels.

1. Ensure the walls are completely dry and any source of dampness has been treated prior to fitting panels. We recommend the panels are fitted onto plasterboard or any flat, clean and dry surface. The panels can be fitted over existing tiles using suitable adhesive.

2. If using our recommended bottom trim, apply Sealux sealant to the trim and position on the shower tray/bath ensuring that it is plumb. Fix the trim to the wall using appropriate screws.

3. Securely screw fix the internal corner trim into the corner ensuring that it is plumb in both directions.

4. Leave the protective film in place on the face of the panel when cutting to size.

5. When cutting the panels, ensure they are face down when using a jigsaw and face up for a circular saw or hand saw to avoid chipping the laminate.

6. Apply a generous bead of Sealux sealant into the internal corner trim and along the bottom trim.

7. Apply suitable grip adhesive to the back of the panel in a grid form at approximately 300mm squares covering the full area of the panel.

8. Ease the panel into the internal corner trim and onto the bottom trim. Fix into position by applying hand pressure across the full area of the panel. Leave a 3-4mm expansion gap at the top of the panel. If not using a bottom trim allow the same expansion gap at the bottom.

9. Finish off the end panel by fitting an end cap as illustrated below and seal using Sealux sealant.

10. Repeat the same process for adjacent panels and trims.

11. Any cut-outs must always be smoothly radiused to prevent stress cracking on the laminate face. Any inserts must be fully sealed with Sealux sealant.

Tongue & Grove Installation

Perform Panels should be installed “grooved” edge first and the “tongue” edge of the next panel angled in and pushed back into place.

The joined between the two panels must be fully sealed with Sealux silicone. A bead of Sealux Silicone must be applied to the internal gap of the “grooved” edge. A bead of Sealux silicone must be also applied to the “tongue” edge prior to fitting. Any excess Sealux silicone on the face of the panel, once fitted, should be cleaned off.

Accuracy of the pattern alignment between panels may vary depending on the scale of the pattern.
