Can I use wall panels for floors or ceilings?

Can wall panels be applied directly to tiles?

Yes, provided they are sound, then Spapanel is suitable for covering old bathroom tiles.

Can Spapanel wall panels be applied to Villaboard or direct onto timber or metal studs?

Yes, Spapanel can be installed directly onto all of these and many other substrates. Installating directly onto timber or metal framework cuts down on both install time and material costs. Plus, there is no need to apply full-height waterproofing. These have all been appraised by Branz NZ
