FAQs
How do I attach DumaWall to my wall?
DumaWall is fixed to the substrate with an MS Polymer High Tack Adhesive. Ensure that the wall substrate is level, clean, and dry. Where necessary, sightly sand or prime glossy surfaces to remove any sheen. Check that your MS Polymer High Tack Adhesive is compatible with both the substrate (including waterproofing, if applicable) and the DumaWall.

How heavy is DumaWall?
DumaWall is only about 5kgs per square metre.
Is DumaWall suitable in a bathroom?
DumaWall tiles and panels are impervious, making them ideal for wet areas. They can be used as a wall panelling application for shower and bathroom areas. Given the large sheet size of DumaWall XL, it can provide a grout free alternative to a tiled shower recess.
Not only is it suitable for the bathroom area, it can be installed in laundry areas too. DumaWall tiles and panels can be installed directly on top of an existing tile wall for an express bathroom upgrade.
Should extra silicone be added between panels?
Extra silicone is not required between the joints of the panels. However, where DumaWall is used in a wet area, it is recommended to apply a line of silicone between the panel and the edge of the shower, bath or vanity. For further details, refer to Section 5.3 in the DumaWall Installation Guide.
Can I cut or drill DumaWall tiles and panels myself?
Yes, you can use a jig saw for rectangular holes (e.g. power sockets) and a hole saw or drill for circular holes. DumaWall can be cut using a circular saw (60-tooth or higher), a fine-toothed blade saw, or a fine-toothed jig saw. For further guidance, refer to Section 4.7 in the DumaWall Installation Guide.
How do I join DumaWall tiles and panels together?
DumaWall tiles and panels are installed using an inter-locking tongue and groove system, where there is no need to use H jointers.
What if I don’t want the exposed edge?
PSP supply aluminium finishing trims that tidy up ends to provide a flawless finish.
What is the maximum temperature for PVC panels?
DumaWall can withstand a maximum continuous temperature of 60 °C. This means that the panels cannot be used in saunas. Installation behind a kitchen cooktop, gas or electric is also not recommended.
How do I clean DumaWall?
DumaWall+ and DumaWall XL are fully washable and should be regularly cleaned. Use a sponge with warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or grime. Do not use abrasive substances or chloride-based products.
How do I store DumaWall tiles and panels?
It is important that they are stored flat and horizontally. Before installing DumaWall tiles and panels, ensure they are sitting flat for at least 48hrs.
Why is part of the tongue or groove chipped off the panels? Are my panels defective?
The panels are not defective. During manufacturing, one corner of the overlap lip is intentionally milled off. This is to provide enough space for the four corners to fit together when four panels are connected. The milled tongue or groove does not impact the product performance or finished look.
Are DumaWall panels scratch resistant?
Yes, there is a durable, UV-cured, protective polyurethane layer on the surface of the panels. This wear- and-scratch-resistant layer will prevent moderate abuse. The tiles are intended as a wall product however and can be scratched by sharp objects or dented by blunt force. DumaWall tiles have better wear and scratch resistance than most wall treatments, such as painted drywall or panelling. DumaWall panels should be cleaned with household or mild commercial cleaners that do not contain abrasives.
Can DumaWall panels be recycled?
Yes, DumaWall panels can be recycled. Please check with your local plastic recycling facility first.
Do your products emit toxic fumes? Are your products hazardous when inhaled indoors?
No. DumaWall products have been tested by Eurofins for VOC emissions and classified as A+ (very low emission of pollutants), the highest rating for indoor wall lining. You can safely use DumaWall in your home with no harmful effects on your health.
