The new Kinewall by Kinedo shower panels are not only stunning in design, but a fantastic solution for housebuilders; whether for a property renovation or a new build. Quick and easy to install, the panels enable a high-quality solution that can be used in a shower in place of tiles, but also on the walls of the bathroom, cloakroom or utility room. Ultra-light at just 11kgs, the panels can be installed from scratch or over old tiles if required and installation in a typical shower enclosure space takes just a couple of hours to fit. The strong and durable panels are very slim at just 3mm and with three sizes available – 2500 x 1250, 2500 x 1000 and 2500 x 1500 – plus over 70 designs – housebuilders have the chance to create a focal point in every bathroom space. The most popular size (2500 x 1250) is stocked in the UK in 21 of the designs for quick delivery, but other sizes and patterns are available within weeks, which can work side by side with the ordering schedules of new build projects.
Six easy steps
- Starting with a clear space or the tiled area, set up the aluminium profile size by measuring to the top point of the installation area and cut the profile to the right size using a hack saw or angle grinder
- Screw the resized profile into the corner of the installation area
- Now measure and cut the first panel to size using a rail saw, then remove the backing plastic and add the sticky tabs and polymer glue to the rear of the panel (referring to the instruction booklet for tab and glue positioning)
- Measure and cut the end profile, add clear silicone and slide on to the panel. Using a sucker, manipulate the glued panel and profile onto the wall and into the central profile
- Repeat the process with all other panels
- Once all panels are in place, seal up where the panels meet the shower tray (or skirting boards, basins and cupboards if in whole room installations)
After the panels are in place, the tray and shower enclosure can be installed as normal.
