Anyone fitted 3mm multipanel wall panels?

Specifically straight onto pre-existing tiles.

Easy enough to get looking good? Any tips?

I thought the thin ones were for ceilings only, got some about that thickness on my bathroom ceiling, caught one really lightly with the drill and chipped it.
Wouldn't have it on the walls if it's the stuff I'm thinking about - 250mm wide.

Have fitted the 3mm panels, horrible, nightmare, never again.
Hard to cut, mark really easy and they look tack imho

Same here, fitted once in 2010 and never again, I will never forget I was drilling the bottom riser rail hole (i'd done the top first) and I had to get my SDS out as it was really hard brick and as I was drilling I thought 'imagine how bad it would be if this drill bit snapped' yes you guessed it the drill bit snapped and I gouged a new hole out 1 inch to the left in the wall panel, replacing was not an option as I would have to take down the enclosure and shower.

My customer was stood behind me watching and he suggested using a chrome hook to cover the hole to hang stuff on...phew!

So the 11mm stuff is good/easy to use? Or is the whole topic fraught?

No the 11mm stuff is the canines gonads. Love the grant westfield and mermaid panels.

The only ones I avoid are with an mdf core.

Look at plastic shower panelling eurocell sell it much easier to use I have done three showers with it now and worked out great and cost half the price of multipanel . Regards kop

I looked at some lightweight panelling in eurocell and they didn`t install me with confidence as they were very flexiable. Went with the 10mm(?) heavier boards, of course I may have been shown something different to what kop uses.

These are the work of the devil.

My error, mixed up two threads there.

What condition does the wall need to be in before you fit the 10-11mm panels?
