Product Functions & Uses

Primary functions

• Provide a fully decorative and protective wall surface.
• Deliver water- and stain-resistant cladding for wet or hygienic environments.
• Serve as an easy-to-install retrofit or new-build finishing system.
• Conceal uneven substrates or provide thermal/impact buffering when combined with insulation/backing.

Common uses

• Bathroom and shower surrounds (residential and commercial)
• Kitchen splashbacks and backsplashes
• Medical facilities — exam rooms, cleanrooms, wash stations
• Laboratory and pharmaceutical facility walls
• Hospitality — hotel bathrooms, spa areas
• Retail — dressing rooms, feature walls
• Education — locker rooms, restrooms
• Commercial fit-outs — restaurants, fitness centers
• Modular and prefab construction where fast on-site fitout is required
• Retrofit projects where downtime must be minimised

Key Product Features

• 100% Waterproof Core: SPC core is inherently non-porous, preventing moisture absorption and mould growth.
• High Dimensional Stability: Minimal expansion/contraction vs. vinyl or laminate when exposed to humidity and temperature swings.
• Impact & Scratch Resistance: Tough wear surface resists knocks and abrasion common in commercial settings.
• Lightweight & Rigid: Easier to handle and install than heavy ceramic tiles — reduces labour and substrate reinforcement needs.
• Integrated Locking/Joining System: Tongue-and-groove or click-fit edges create tight seams that improve waterproofing and speed installation.
• Low Maintenance: Wipe-clean surfaces — no grouting, repainting, or sealing required.
• Decorative Surface Options: Printed décor layer with finishes that mimic stone, wood, solid colors, metallic accents, or textured patterns.
• Sound & Thermal Performance (when combined with backing): Can contribute modest acoustic damping and thermal resistance.
• Fire Performance: Many SPC formulations are available with fire-retardant additives to meet project codes (specify required rating at time of purchase).
• Chemical Resistance: Surface tolerates many household and commercial cleaning agents (check specific chemical compatibility).
• Environmentally Friendly Options: Some formulations use recycled content and are free from heavy plasticizers; disposal and recyclability vary — consult supplier.

User Manual — Installation & Care

Below is a thorough, practical installation and maintenance guide written for contractors and competent DIY installers. Always follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions and local building codes.

Pre-installation checks

• Inspect panels on delivery for visible defects. Do not install damaged panels.
• Verify substrate — must be clean, dry, flat, and structurally sound. Typical substrates: cement board, plywood (exterior grade), existing tile (mechanically sound), drywall (in dry areas only).
• Check moisture and temperature — ensure substrate moisture and ambient conditions are within manufacturer’s recommended range (common range: 10–30°C; substrate moisture < 12% for wood-based, relative humidity stable).
• Acclimate panels — store panels flat in the installation environment for 24–48 hours so they stabilise.

Tools & materials

• Tape measure, pencil/marker
• Utility knife or fine-tooth saw (jigsaw/circular with fine blade for SPC)
• Router or trimming tools for cutouts
• Adhesive recommended by manufacturer (construction-grade polymer or pressure-sensitive adhesive)
• Mechanical fasteners (if required) — corrosion-resistant screws, rivets for metal studs
• Joint sealant (silicone or manufacturer-specified waterproof sealant)
• Profiles and trims (start/end profiles, corner trims, transition strips)
• Straightedge and level
• Caulking gun, adhesive trowel or applicator

Installation overview (typical adhesive method)

• Plan layout: Work from a focal point and stagger vertical joints if multiple panels. Minimize small cut pieces at visible edges.
• Apply adhesive: Use recommended adhesive in a full-bond pattern or perimeter-and-spot depending on panel size and substrate. Follow adhesive pot-life and open time.
• Set panels: Align tongue-and-groove/interlock and press firmly into place. Use temporary spacers or clamps as needed to maintain tight joints.
• Mechanical fixings: In high-stress areas or over imperfect substrates, use screws near edges into supporting studs; cover heads with matching plugs or trim.
• Seal joints: Apply flexible, waterproof sealant to perimeter joints, corners, and transitions (shower niches, around fixtures).
• Trim & finishing: Fit corner profiles and edge trims; install threshold and transition pieces if panels meet other floor/wall materials.
• Allow cure time: Let adhesive and sealant cure per manufacturer before exposing to moisture — typically 24–72 hours.

Shower and wet-area specifics

• Use continuous waterproof backing (cement board or waterproof membrane) when required by local codes.
• Slope shower bases properly; panels are wall cladding and not meant to replace a shower pan.
• Reinforce around plumbing penetrations; use escutcheon plates and sealant to prevent leaks.
• For steam rooms or sauna-like environments, confirm panel’s high-temperature suitability before specifying.

Cutting & trimming

• Score-and-snap for thin panels; use fine-tooth blade for power saws for larger cuts.
• Sand raw cut edges lightly and seal if recommended (some panels come with finished edges).

Maintenance & cleaning

• Routine: Wipe with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge and mild detergent.
• For tough stains: use manufacturer-approved cleaners; avoid aggressive solvents (e.g., trichloroethylene) unless compatibility is confirmed.
• Avoid abrasive pads or steel wool which may scratch the decorative wear layer.
• Repair: small surface scratches can often be reduced with fine polishing compounds per supplier guidance; deeper damage may require panel replacement.

Quality, Safety & Compliance (Specifying Notes)

• Confirm required fire rating for your building type and request test data from the supplier.
• For healthcare and foodservice, request cleanability test data and chemical resistance lists.
• If project requires low-VOC materials or green building credits, ask for VOC test reports and recycled-content documentation.
• Seek installation training or certified installers for critical environments (hospitals, labs, marine).

Ordering & Lead Times

• Panels are typically available in standard sizes from stock; bespoke sizes, custom prints, or special performance formulations may have longer lead times.
• Order slightly over required area (commonly 5–10%) to allow for cuts, waste, and future repairs — exact recommendation depends on layout complexity and jointing method.
• Request sample packs before final selection to verify color and finish under site lighting.

Warranty & Aftercare

• Typical warranties range from 5 to 15 years against manufacturing defects — confirm exact terms with your supplier.
• Warranty coverage usually requires installation per manufacturer guidelines and use of approved adhesives and sealants.
• Keep records of purchase, batch numbers, and installer details for warranty claims.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SPC Integrated Wall Panels be used inside a shower?

• A: Yes — many SPC panels are designed for wet areas and shower surrounds, provided installation follows manufacturer instructions, joints are sealed correctly, and the substrate and shower base meet local codes.

Q: Do SPC panels need grout?

• A: No. Panels are joined with mechanical interlocks and sealed with flexible sealant; there’s no grout like tiles require.

Q: Can I install over existing tile?

• A: Often yes, if the tile is firmly adhered and the surface is flat. Mechanical fixing or adhesive bonding methods vary — consult the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Q: How do panels perform in high-temperature areas?

• A: SPC is dimensionally stable, but extreme continuous heat (steam rooms, certain industrial environments) may require special high-temp formulations — verify suitability with supplier.

Q: Are they eco-friendly?

• A: SPC panels can contain recycled content and be formulated without phthalates; disposal and recyclability depend on local systems. Ask your supplier for environmental product declarations (EPDs) or recycled-content certificates.

SPC Integrated Wall Panels provide a pragmatic, high-performance solution when you need waterproof, low-maintenance, attractive wall finishes that install quickly and perform reliably in challenging environments. They’re ideal for specifiers and installers seeking to reduce project complexity while delivering a high-quality, long-lasting finish. For best results, confirm exact product specifications, performance data, and installation instructions with your supplier before specifying or installing.
