How to cut bathroom wall panels?
Installing bathroom wall panels is extremely easy compared to fitting traditional ceramic bathroom tiles. Wall panels can be fitted over rough and uneven surfaces – even over existing tiles – and do not require any specialist skills or tools to do so. However, when it comes to cutting your new bathroom wall panels before installation, there are a few points to consider.
What Tools Will You Require?
Although no specialist tools are needed to install bathroom wall panels, you will need the following items to ensure you cut your panels correctly and professionally:
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Saw
- Ruler
- Stanley knife
Steps to Cutting your Bathroom Wall Panels
It is important to measure your bathroom wall panels correctly to ensure a professional finish. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Measure the trim
Measure the wall and then measure and cut your trims to the required length using a Stanley knife or a saw. Be careful when using sharp tools!
Measure your first panel
Measure and mark your first wall panel. If the last panel on your wall ends at a corner, cut the first one to width, which will result in a full panel at the finished end.
Cut your first panel
Cut the wall panel where you have marked it with a saw – be careful and wear PPE if needed.
Fit your first panel
Remove the tongue from the panel to ensure the panel fits fully into the trim. Fit your first panel into the trim!
