Keep Your Panels Looking Their Best
Wall panels offer long‑lasting durability and require very little upkeep, yet giving them a bit of care keeps them looking fresh for years. Moreover, whether you choose PVC, wood‑effect, or waterproof slatwall panels, you can easily protect your investment with a few simple habits. With the right maintenance, our panels will stay on your walls for ten years or more.
Daily and Weekly Care
🪠 Dust Regularly – Use a soft cloth or microfiber duster to remove everyday dust.
🛃 Wipe Down Surfaces – For PVC or high-gloss panels, use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean any marks or spills.
🛂 Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Skip bleach and abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to finishes, use of these chemicals can cause discolouring or print failure. Even vegan product cleaners can have harsh chemicals in, always use hot soapy water to clean the panels.
Deep Cleaning and Seasonal Checks
🧹 Check for Damp or Mould Regularly – Especially in bathrooms or kitchens. Look for any moisture build‑up on the silicone around the bath or shower tray. High‑quality silicone helps prevent this issue. If you notice mould, remove the old silicone immediately. Then reseal the area with fresh silicone to restore protection.
🌫️ Ventilate Well – Keep rooms properly ventilated to prevent condensation behind your panels. In wet areas, always use an extractor fan. This airflow reduces moisture and protects the panel structure. Moreover, good ventilation helps stop mould from forming. For best results, keep windows open when possible to improve circulation.
🔄 Inspect Fixings – Every few months, check that panels are secure and free from warping or lifting.
