HaLite 1700mm Solid & Waterproof Bath Front Panel The Halite bath front panel is 1700mm long and can easily be cut down to fit smaller baths. Halite Bath panels are completely waterproof with no risk of water ingress and offer all the advantages of a solid wooden bath panel. In that it's strong, robust and comes with an adjustable plinth. Unlinke other solid bath panels, these are much more cost effective and constructed from a high quality, UV stable expanded vinyl material known as PVC Foam board. The panels are rigid and durable whilst being lightweight, easy to cut-to-size and install. HaLite Front Panel Specification: Front Panel Width: 1700mm Front Panel Height: 480 - 550mm Front Panel Thickness: 15mm What are the advantages over Acrylic bath panels? Unlike typical acrylic panels, the HaLite panels are completely solid with no wobble, as you find with the thinner acrylic bath panels. Due to the matierial, they're 100% waterproor while being very robust and will stand the test of time even in high traffic bathrooms. Solid Construction  Offers the strength and support you'd expect from solid bath panel (will not bow and crack in the same way as acrylic panels) Manufactured from high-quality PVC foam board Adjustable Height (will fit numerous baths) Easy-to-Cut UV Resistant What are the advantages over MDF bath panels? Unlike MDF Bath Panels, the HaLite bath panels are lightweight and constructed from a completely waterproof material. Meaning there are no issues with water ingress over time, which causes wood based panels to bow. You can install them quicker too, as there is no need to seal the edge when cutting to size. 100% Waterproof! It will not swell or bubble-like laminated MDF or Wood No need to reseal the panel if cut during installation Much lighter making it easier to install The finish is UV resistant, durable and scratch-resistant too! Also see the range of Halite Bathrom Furniture which offfers the same waterproof properties. Halite Installation Guide & FAQ's Supplied in 2 parts and can easily assembled on-site using the brackets and screws provided. Simply fix both parts together (as pictured) at your chosen height, from 480 to 550mm. When being installed alongside an end panel, you may wish to mitre the join in the corner or simply butt them alongside each other for a quick & easy installation. Depending on the bath timber battons can be installed in behind for the bath panels to butt up to, which will give the completed structure even more stability. Some baths have a gap on the underside for a bath panel to slip in to for stability. If you wish, you can cut the top of your halite bath panel to fit inside this lip or you can shorten the height of the panel slightly and again use timber battons in behind to secure before sealing in place. Can Halite Panels Be Cut? Yes Halite bath panels can be cut with hand or power tools. As the panel is waterproof you don't need to worry about sealing the cut ends as they will not blow as MDF panels do. Do Halite panels have a lip on the top? Halite panels do not have a lip on the of the main (larger) panel. Not all baths allow for a lip to tuck under the edge of the bath and these lips vary in size. By having a flat edge the Halite can be used on many more baths or cut to fit said lip using the correct tools. How do you install a Halite Panel? They are installed in the same way an MDF or solid bath panel would be installed. 4 x Brackets are supplied as standard but you may wish to use wall or floor batterns in behind to give extra stability. If you're not in the trade, you may wish to view a YouTube tutorial on how to fit a solid wood bath panel to help guide you along the way.  How is end panel fitted to the front panel? Inside both the Front and End panels we supply 4 x brackets and screws, when installing and end panel the brackets are used to screw the panels together from the rear. Are Halite Panels universal? Halite bath panels are universal and are suitable for a wide range of flat sided baths including single ended and double ended baths. They are not suitable for P shape shower baths or

The product was of good quality but the packing on the corners was inadequate. One corner had bee damaged in transit. Fortunately I needed to take a centimetre or so of that particular end to but up to a wall, so I got away with it. The panel itself could have done with a lip in the centre of the top edge in so a to hook it under the bath edge. This would prevent sag which is unavoidable on such a length.

What's not to like. We had a new bathroom 5 years ago and had a thin cracking noisy hollow panel replaced with mdf one. It looked good for 6 months and then split and looked awful. Those panel is waterproof so should be good for a few years. Also we fitted lights and sensor in to save having light on in the night

Solid piece of bath panel better than the cheap flimsy rubbish from B&Q Wickes or any other major retailer

Panel is great alternative to standard panels. Very rigid indeed and easy to cut down with a handsaw. Allows for height adjustment too. I had to cut out to fit around the bath legs where they join the top of the bath in order to get panel to sit flush. I did this with a multi tool and it was successful. Very good panel and would thoroughly recommend over the others available on the market.

Apart from a small amount of damage on one corner which didn't matter to me as it had to be cut down, the panel was spot on. Looks great and matches perfectly with the rest of the furniture in the bathroom. Easy to cut and install.
