replacement cladding

If you have previously installed ceramic wall tiles and have found them a nightmare to keep clean then you are probably looking for a replacement.

The grout between tiles can get very grubby after a while as the cold tiles attract condensation, which keeps the grout moist and ripe for mould spores to form. Once this gets hold, it is very difficult to eradicate and usually requires the grout be raked out.

If you are thinking of completely redecorating then you should also consider replacement cladding. Not only will this eradicate your grout problem in one fell swoop (no grout is required between the panels) but it can also be installed over existing tiles. This means that installation is quick, clean and easy.

If you are considering installing replacement cladding, there are one or two issues that need to be addressed before embarking on this course of action, mostly due to the fact that the panels are around 8mm thick

make sure the existing tiles are still fixed solidly to the wall
clean the tiles to remove soap/grime to aid adhesion
ensure clearance behind basin or bath taps
recessed shower vales will need at least 10mm of "play" in the supply pipes
shower enclosures need to be removed and replaced allowing for the extra thickness (make sure this doesn't exceed the shower tray dimensions)
architraves and other mouldings need to be able to cope with the thickness

If these issues do not present a problem then you should be able to proceed - if in doubt call our sales office on 029 2056 0949
