    Confused with Aqua Panel

    OK bit of an update, I have managed to get those extenders off of the pipes. This is great because the pipes are no longer going to cause that much of a problem. I am in the process of putting these aqua panel cement boards up, these need to have the mesh put on the joins etc and a bit where...

    Confused with Aqua Panel

    I think the second part is correct, it's the sliding into the corner that's going to be tricky. Yes I can place it straight but would have to put the corner piece onto the panel first I think? Doesn't everyone have these shower feeds when they are installing these? Maybe these extenders can be...

    Confused with Aqua Panel

    From what I can see, and I will need to measure this, the holes for the pipes need to be the diameter plus 4-6mm. I am guessing that this is likely to hopefully give enough lateral movement to push the panel into the corner part?

    Confused with Aqua Panel

    One last question, I have the hot and cold shower tails sticking out to add more aggro to this one. Looking at the videos for installing these (panels) they seem to be shifted over sideways and into the corner, this is going to be difficult with these in place. On mine it looks like there are...

    Confused with Aqua Panel

    I'll look into the panels :) The tape - I have this, its the paste that is expensive (around 80 a tub I think) if its behind a panel I guess it doesn't matter so much though Just as an aside on this one, with the panels, I'm assuming they come with a corner part and a bottom part that the...

    Confused with Aqua Panel

    I have been looking at those, I can buy them at 900 width which is great, but these things seem to need to up to the ceiling, in my case this shower is in the loft and there is an angle which would need to be cut out which could be painful. I could however cut it square and not have it going all...

    Confused with Aqua Panel

    Hi All I've had a shower leak and need to rebuild. I've purchased some Aqua Panel boards from Wickes (cement board) which I will be putting on the inside of the cubicle when I get to install that. What my questions are, I understand that I have to put tape over the seams (I have bought some of...

    Wetwall Alloy Shower Panels

    Lets say its good practice to tank these things, they are only 4mm thick, from memory the lip on tanking tape is around 10mm. Would this mean that I would have to ensure that the sealant bead width will have to extend over the edge of the tape which would mean a bead of around 8-10mm?

    Help me fit this light fitting

    Really don't see the need for this cable. There is only one height for it, otherwise it'll be hanging by the cable? Obviously I see the need for the cable but can't fathom why this extra length

    Help me fit this light fitting

    ok, so the only way (for me) would be to pull the cable up into the rose and pack it in there
