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.
