  • When I did ours I followed the video advice of the brand Lustrolite, which is the Acrylic we ended up using anyway. Rubberised sealing paint behind any joins/edges then paint over with a colour similar to the panel so any slight glimpse through an edge will be less obvious. Think I might have a pic mid panel. And don't forget to use a neutral cure silicone.

  • Ta.

    Is that plasterboard backing on yours? As we're brick internal walls, i'm wondering if i need to do anything specific to the plaster finish or just plaster, then follow the instructions above...

    How easy was the lustrolite stuff to work with? I'm thinking of going with them.

  • I dot and dabbed the wall with plasterboard then plastered. If you've got bare brick I'd imagine you'd do the same no? Can't plaster onto brick and internal rendering is a faff compared to boarding. I painted finished wall (once dry) with a mist coat and top coat of proper bathroom anti fungal paint, not that it'll ever hopefully see moisture.
    Lustrolite cut well, I bought a dedicated fine tooth blade for the Festool and did a few practise runs to find the sweet settings and speeds, you can electric plane to finish but I found it came up just as nice with a block and some 400 grit paper.
