I am looking to install these panels and query the installation process in a hallway on plasterboard. Would it just be wood glue? https://www.bunnings.com.au/wall-art-2400-x-1200-x-3mm-white-marble-wet-area-wall-shower-panel_p0095...
Look forward to a response.
Have an awesome day ![]()

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @SammienBenz. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about installing WallART panels.
The installation process is as follows:
INSTALLATION ON EXISTING WALLS AND LININGS
WallART can be fitted to walls that are already lined with an approved flat substrate material determined by your local building authority for building elements in wet areas, for example cement sheeting. In high humidity or wet areas, the wall surface must be waterproofed with an impermeable coating prior to the installation of Wallart.
• All surfaces must be clean and free of grease, oil, dust and paint.
• Walls must be completely dry.
• Walls must be flat and square.
• Use joining profiles in these applications.
• Rub the back of each panel with coarse sandpaper in the areas that will contact the adhesive.
• Use a 5mm bead of adhesive (may vary with adhesive recommendations) around the edge of the sheet.
• Use a zig zag pattern of 5mm bead of adhesive making sure that the bead is within 15 - 20mm of the sheet edge and with a maximum separation at any point between the beads of 400mm.
• Press the sheet against the wall. Taking care not to scratch the surface, use a wood block wrapped in a soft cloth to work across the surface of each panel, tapping the block gently with a hammer to ensure the adhesive contacts the wall, particularly around the edges. Periodically using a spirit level at least 800mm long to ensure the sheets are flat and level.
• Ensure you follow the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions regarding application method, time required before releasing the pressure, and total curing time.
It is recommended that you use Sikaflex 11FC as the adhesive.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
