canalsiderenovation Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 We are about to push the button on getting shower panels ordered but I'm worried about the trims. The end ones (in satin silver or white) and also the corner trims. I know some panels such as Nuance don't have these rather just rounded edges but in typical fashion we can't find any we like. Can anyone send me pics of the trims on their shower panels so I can see them please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbiniho Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 This is my wetwall panel, it is from howdens i used "H" joints to join the panels onto plasterboard so there is not a step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have the strips joining the panels we will need to join the panels but I don't want strips so I think that's why showerwall have quoted the tongue and groove ones?

ProDave Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Multipanel also do a version with tongue and groove joints but I suspect you still need a corner joint piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 My end pieces had a wide and a narrow side, I opted for the narrow side to the front of the panel to make it neater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to hijack this thread but I have multipanel to fit and wondered what you used to cut it? I have to fit some in an old cottage and the ceiling needs scribing to ensure it looks neat, it is 15mm out over 1 metre and a bit wavy!!

ProDave Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I cut mine with a sharp panel saw, but I only needed to cut straight lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to say not only is it a sloping, wavy line it needs an angle at the back as it is going against a sloping ceiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the upward cut and risk of splitting the finished surface that stopped me using the jigsaw or circular saw and used a good old fashioned downward cutting panel saw.

They don't "sell" them very well. Had I not looked closely at the picture or read the reviews I would never have known their USP was they are downward cutting.

I cut out for my sink with one. They want to jump up at you. Thereafter I routed the hole out for the induction hob. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysimon Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 if i were doing the corner i wouldn't use a trim, if using t&g, plane the tongue off and seal with ct1. would look a lot neater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably work okay on a thin shower panel, but I have had very disappointing results trying that on a kitchen worktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, yes, almost impossible to get a vertical cut, I always cut it rough and routed out to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the panel systems require you to use their corners for waterproof joins and the type Y from Multipanel is really neat. Allows you to align the boards when one has been firmly fitted. https://www.multipanel.co.uk/products/multipanel-profiles/type-y-last-corner/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
