Frequently asked questions about plastic fascias, wall cladding and fascias in general are varied. At Bliby Plastics we hope we have the answers to all your questions. Some of the questions can also be quite interesting, especially the ones about improvements being made in the bathroom.
For example, whether or not it is possible to install fascias over tiles that are already there. As long as the existing tiles have been firmly fixed to the wall this should be perfectly feasible. It is best, however, to ensure that the panelling’s extra thickness does not impede the use of fixtures already in the bathroom, bath taps, for instance, or doors.
In some cases older bathrooms’ walls are half tiled. The tiles themselves are difficult to remove; therefore it is easier to batten out the top half of the bathroom level. The panels can then be installed by sticking them to the tiles and stapling the top half of them to the battens.
There are also special procedures to be followed when installing panels with toilets or basins that are wall hung. You should drill through the panelling, into the wall as you normally would. Insert the wall plugs and ensure they have gone completely through the panels and into the wall. It may be necessary to use longer screws allowing for the panels’ thickness. Do not over tighten the screws because you may crush the panelling. It is also possible to attach panels to the bathroom ceiling using adhesive and a staple gun. We can supply plastics and fascias as required.
