Bathroom Brokers is committed to ensuring your investment lasts. Our products are backed by a lifetime material and labor warranty against de-lamination, staining, fading, and cracking, as long as they are properly maintained according to the Fibo guidelines.
Safety and Style for Every Stove
For high-temperature areas, such as behind gas stoves and cooktops, we recommend using heat-resistant materials like stainless steel or tempered glass to protect the panels and preserve their appearance. Be sure to consult your appliance manufacturer's clearance specifications to ensure both safety and optimal performance. Note: Standard installations, like freestanding ranges with control panels, typically don’t require extra precautions.
Flexible Installations for Different Settings
Our panels are versatile and suitable for a range of environments, including changing rooms and areas near pools and saunas. However, they are not recommended for direct installation in high-moisture areas such as the interiors of swimming pools or saunas due to the extreme conditions present there.
Comprehensive Waterproof Protection
Yes, our panels are engineered to offer exceptional moisture resistance in all wet room areas, making them ideal for bathrooms, showers, and other spaces that require water-resistant solutions. They are built to endure demanding conditions, ensuring long-lasting durability wherever enhanced protection is necessary.
Our panel models are designed to fit standard ceiling heights of up to 8 feet. If your space needs greater height, our custom order options provide a seamless, floor-to-ceiling solution tailored to your specific needs.
Ideal Foundation for Flawless Installation
To ensure maximum strength and durability, we recommend installing Fibo panels on plywood or half-inch OSB backing. Both OSB and plywood offer a robust foundation that guarantees lasting performance and stability for your renovation.
Ensuring Stability and Safety
If you intend to install heavy fixtures such as a washbasin, faucet, or toilet, it is essential to reinforce the area with a 0.5-inch plywood sheet or to securely attach the fixtures to the studs behind the wall for improved support and stability.
Utilize Fibo Seal, specifically designed for our panels and compliant with ETAG 022 standards. It comes in colors that match the joints of our panels for a seamless appearance. Avoid silicone; instead, use only MS polymer sealant approved under SINTEF TG 2289.
Strong Installation for Long-lasting Results
Make sure the concrete or brick surface is dry (with a maximum moisture level of 85%) and level to create a stable base for screws and nails. For heavier installations, reinforce the mounting area accordingly.
Simplified Installation Process
Yes, our panels feature an integrated moisture barrier, enabling you to install them directly onto the wall framework without requiring an additional moisture barrier, primer, or joint fixings.
Rapid Updates Over Existing Surfaces
Absolutely, our panels can be directly bonded to existing tiles using our wall adhesive. We recommend consulting with our experts to select the best adhesive for your particular situation.
Safe Installation on Drywall
Yes, it is perfectly safe to mount on drywall. However, make sure that the wall can support any additional fixtures, such as seats or grab bars, as these may need extra reinforcement.
