Curtain £39.99
End cap £4.99
Strut bit £4.99
Hinge £7.99
Curtain clip £4.99

Gallery Revamp
We've had a large number of Outasight customers that have sent in photos for our Customer Gallery so we have had to completely revamp it to fit in all the images and tidy up the appearance.
Some of the customers have done a superb job of remodelling their bathrooms as can be seen by the following examples.
The neat, minimal appearance of many of the rooms has not been spolied by installing a shower curtain or bath shower screen - the Outasight is certainly the right choice to maintain a clean, uncluttered look.

Tinto Wall Panelling Range Extended
We have just added two more colours to the Tinto range of decorative wall panelling.
This versatile panel is suitable for use in a variety of different rooms around the house. Its matt finish means it will not look out of place in the bedroom, living room or dining room while its waterproof structure means that it is still perfectly suitable for use in bathrooms and showers.
As well as adding two more colours we have introduced a special offer across the Tinto range with the panels now available at just £9.49 per panel (plus carriage).

Cork Tiles
A customer has just asked us if it is possible to fix the panels over cork tiles - I've never tried this so I'm not exactly sure.
The panels will go up over anything - the only thing you have to be concerned about in this instance is that you are relying on the adhesive sticking to the cork tile, and the the cork tile sticking to the wall. If they are still fixed solidly then there should be no problem. Also, each panel holds the next panel in place so it's not so much of an issue as it would be with other forms of wall covering.
You could also mechanically secret-fix some of the panels (staple gun on plasterboard, screws on masonry) to back-up the adhesive. Any bathroom accessories fitted throught the panels will also act as mechanical fixings.

Clearance Line
Decos have produced two versions of their Spaceline range of panelling: a 250mm wide flush fit board and a 333mm wide v-groove board.
The smaller board has proved to be much more popular than the larger panel and so decos have taken the decision to stop producing the larger size. We have therefore started a promotion on the Spaceline 333 range which will run until the current stocks are exhausted.
The 250mm wide panels will continue to be made (which is a relief as it is our most popular panel!)
If you are unfamiliar with v-groove or flush fit joints please visit our main website as there are pages highlighting the differences. They can be seen at:

Spaceline Jade Added
We have added a fifth colour to the Spaceline range of panels - Jade.
This is a green marble effect panel and ties in niceley with the other marble Spaceline colours and will be sold at the same low price as the rest of the range.
We are expecting this to be a very popular choice, at present the only other colour in the Decos range is the Firenze Jad and Orion Lugano.

Ceiling Panelling Infill Strips Added
We have just added Silver and Gold effect infill strips for use in conjunction with our Labo ceiling panelling.
These are narrow self adhesive strips designed to fit in-between each panel and give a reflective highlight, breaking up the large expanse of plain white. Being self adhesive they are easy to fit and are available in 2.7m lengths in Silver or Gold effect finish.

More On Fixing Spotlights
Up until this week we had never had a problem with spotlights being fixed through our ceiling panels but one customer has experienced a problem with his particular installation.
He had fitted the panels to an upstairs ceiling but had not allowed any ventilation behind the spotlights. This meant that the heat generated by the spotlights had nowhere to dissipate and as a consequence was starting to degrade the panels. He is in the process of ensuring the lights have adequate ventilation behind them and we are awaiting his report on whether this has cured the problem.
Spotlights can be fitted to our panels providing they do not subject the panels to more than 60deg c. Unfortunately this is not the kind of information that spotlight manufacturers tend to provide so we can only state that apart from the case mentioned above, we have never had a problem reported to us regarding the installation of spotlights (and we have been selling this type of panelling for over 15 years).

More Gallery Photos
The first of several updates of our customer photo gallery has just been undertaken - and there are quite a few more to come...
Mr Walters of broxbourne sent in some photos of his shower cubicle. This particular installation is very typical use for our wall panels and a lot of our sales are to customers using the cladding for this purpose.
The following images show a before and after shot of Mr Walters' shower cubicle highlighting the very neat finish that you can achieve using this form of shower wall panelling.
We have just created a new shower wall panelling page with more details on this particular type of installation.

Outasight Back In Stock
The Outasight is now back in stock - although there is a bit of a delay due the amount of back orders generated while the item was out of stock, due to the shower curtain material delay from Germany.
This situation should be remedied within the next week or so (just in time for our Summer shutdown!)

Fixing Ceiling Panels
When fixing ceiling panels it is usually best to use a combination of adhesive and staples (if the sub-surface if suitable for staples). To make sure the first panel stays in place you can apply Gripfill / No More Nails etc using the "contact adhesive" method using .
Test your panel to make sure it fits, put blobs of adhesive on the back of the panel, fit the panel into place and then remove it. You will then have some adhesive on the ceiling and some on the back of the panel. Leave the adhesive go tacky and the re-fit the panel - you should get an instant "grab" from the adhesive.
Alternatively you can use laths or bamboo sprung into place to hold the panels while the adhesive sets (use a piece of scrap panel or plywood to ensure the wood doesn't mark the panel).

Wall Panelling Uses
As well as being used extensively in bathrooms and showers wall panelling can be used in other rooms - and not just in the house.
We regularly get request from people looking to fit it inside caravans, motor homes and boats. Its lightweight construction and ease of installation make it the ideal choice n small confined spaces and the fact that it is maintenance free comes as an added bonus. We shall be adding some photos from a customer who used in in the head (shower room) and galley of his boat.
We have also sold wall panelling for use around swimming pools and one customer used it for the surround of a hot tub. The hot tub was sited indoors - this was important as our panels are designed for interior use only and can suffer from UV damage if used outdoors.

This could result in orders not getting despatched until week commencing 3rd July.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused by these delays but unfortunately they are outside our control.

The Bathroom Marquee - Easter closing
The Bathroom Marquee will be shut on Good Friday and will re-open on Wednesday 19th April after th Easter Weekend.
Fixing Wall Panels Over Wallpaper
We regularly get asked if it is possible to install the panels over wallpaper. It is possible - but it depends on the underlying structure of the wall.
If you have plasterboard walls the panels can be attached using a mechanical fixing. The best way would be to use a staple gun and secret-fix the panels through the tongue:
If you stick the panels to the wall you are relying on the adhesive bonding to the paper and the paper bonding to the wall - so effectively you are relying on wallpaper paste! It would be better to try and scrape off some of the paper (you don't have to be very fussy about this) and stick directly to the wall.
