Product Information

If measured by the manufacturer, all measurements should be taken accurately by someone with the experience necessary to ensure they are correct Unless either of the above applies to you, the simplest and easiest method is adhesive. Regardless of which you choose, we’ll take you through each method in this guide. Now the wall is clear you will need to wipe it down with a suitable cleaner such as Sugar Soap as this will remove any remaining dust and grease. When drilling the holes for the above, make sure that you drill them on the inside of (e.g. the section that you are cutting out) and make sure that they do not spill out into the area you want to use and are as close to the outline of the area you want to cut out as possible! Once you’ve drilled four holes, slot a jigsaw into one hole at a time and cut along the straight lines to remove the rest of the rectangular outline. 9. Smooth Cut Edges

If your walls are particularly uneven, it may be worth re-plastering first. A few dips won’t cause much of a problem, but like tiling, a level base makes a big difference to the finish. 2. Clean and Seal the Walls

Splashback FAQ

With all of the above in mind, find a nice clear, flat area that you can cut your acrylic in. As stated, make sure that you take your time, measure twice and cut once, don’t let the acrylic overhead when cutting and reduce any and all vibrations as much as possible. Keeping the protective film on the acrylic, transfer your measurements onto the acrylic sheet using a pencil line and a long ruler. Apply some masking tape over the top of this line and then re-draw it onto the masking tape. The masking tape will ensure that it won’t chip or splinter when you cut the acrylic. 5. Preparation Before Cutting Make sure the wall is nice and flat. When the silicone is applied you can always apply more to lift an uneven side that’s a bit lower but you wouldn’t want to be doing this more than necessary.

Measure the total width and height of acrylic needed and then mark it on your plan (remember to leave 1mm or so top and bottom). Where it needs to cut in round any cupboards or other items, measure this also, again leaving a slight gap for movement. When cutting long straight lines with a jigsaw, it is a good idea to clamp a piece of batten along the line that you are cutting so that the base-plate of the jigsaw can follow it, ensuring that the cut is traight.If you have made any cuts you might now notice that the cut edges are a little rough so we will need to now sort these out. Hold a long spirit level against the wall and move it around to find any dips. You’ll see these dips when there’s a gap between the spirit level and the wall. Fill in any dips with a pre-mixed plaster skim and leave it to dry before sanding flat. If you need to create joins then it is important that these are done correctly. It is possible to simply glue the edges of the two sheets creating the join together, but due to the inevitable undulations is even the smoothest wall, these joins are often not straight and you always end up with high and low edges. The filing itself will remove the majority of the major burrs but it is also best to use some wet and dry paper to give it the final finish.
