Step-by-step installation

Follow these steps for a perfect result

1

Prepare the surface

Ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and dust-free. Remove any loose paint, old wallpaper, or debris. The surface should be flat and stable. NOVOTTI panels can be applied directly over existing tiles, painted walls, plasterboard, or concrete.

Pro tip: If applying over existing tiles, make sure none are loose or cracked. Sand any sharp tile edges for a smooth result.

2

Measure and plan your layout

Measure your wall dimensions carefully. Each NOVOTTI panel covers 3.44 mยฒ (2800 ร— 1230 mm). Calculate how many panels you need and plan your layout to minimize waste. Start from the most visible corner and work outward.

Pro tip: Use a pencil and level to mark horizontal and vertical guidelines on the wall before you begin. This ensures perfectly aligned panels.

3

Cut panels to size

Use a sharp utility knife and straight edge to score and snap the panels, or use a jigsaw for curved cuts around fixtures. NOVOTTI panels are easy to cut โ€” no special tools required. Always measure twice and cut once.

Pro tip: When cutting around electrical outlets or plumbing, mark the position carefully with a template before cutting. Leave a 2mm gap around fixtures.

4

Apply adhesive

Apply a high-quality construction adhesive to the back of the panel using a notched trowel. Create uniform ridges across the entire surface. Alternatively, apply adhesive directly to the wall in a grid pattern for larger panels.

Pro tip: Use a solvent-free, waterproof adhesive โ€” especially important for bathrooms and wet areas. Apply within the working time specified by the adhesive manufacturer.

5

Fix the panel to the wall

Press the panel firmly against the wall, aligning it with your guidelines. Apply even pressure across the entire surface. Use temporary supports or painter’s tape to hold panels in place while the adhesive cures (24โ€“48 hours).

Pro tip: Start from the bottom and work upward. Check alignment with a spirit level after placing each panel. Clean any adhesive that squeezes out immediately with a damp cloth.

6

Finishing touches

Once all panels are installed and adhesive has cured, apply silicone sealant along edges, corners, and around fixtures for a waterproof finish. Use a matching colour silicone for the neatest result. Clean the panel surface with a damp cloth.

Pro tip: NOVOTTI panels require minimal maintenance. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners โ€” they can damage the surface finish.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about installation

Can I install NOVOTTI panels myself?
Absolutely. NOVOTTI panels are designed for DIY installation. No specialist tools or professional training required. Our step-by-step guide and video tutorial walk you through the entire process.

Can I install panels over existing tiles?
Yes โ€” this is one of the biggest advantages of NOVOTTI panels. You can install directly over existing tiles without demolition, saving significant time and cost. Ensure existing tiles are firmly fixed and the surface is clean and flat.

Are the panels suitable for wet areas like showers?
Yes. NOVOTTI panels are 100% waterproof and specifically designed for bathrooms, showers, wet rooms, and kitchens. Use a waterproof adhesive and silicone sealant on all edges and joints for a completely watertight finish.

How do I cut the panels?
NOVOTTI panels can be cut with a sharp utility knife and straight edge (score and snap method) or with a fine-toothed jigsaw for curved cuts. The panels cut cleanly and easily โ€” no specialist equipment needed.

How do I clean and maintain the panels?
NOVOTTI panels are extremely easy to maintain. Simply wipe with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution. The anti-bacterial surface coating resists mould and staining. Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals.
