What tools do I need to cut a shower panel?
To cut a shower panel, you will need a ruler, measuring tape, marking pen, a fine-toothed handsaw, or either a jigsaw or circular saw.
How to measure and mark up a shower panel
Start by positioning the shower panel on a flat, stable surface with the decorative side facing up.
Next, measure the wall where the panel will be fitted and transfer these measurements to the decorative face. Then draw a straight line using your marking pen and a straight edge to create your cut line.
How to cut a shower panel with a handsaw (recommended)
Use a fine-toothed handsaw to cut along the cut line at a shallow angle.
We recommend using a slow sawing action to avoid drifting away from the cutting line, as 1000mm shower panels are easy to cut and have little resistance.
How to cut a shower panel with a jigsaw
You can cut a shower panel with a jigsaw, though we recommend using it for more intricate and shaped cuts.
For accurate results, fix a straight guide to the panel and run the jigsaw along the cut line using a fine-toothed blade to avoid tear-out.
How to cut a shower panel with a circular saw
The process of using a circular saw is the same as using a jigsaw. You can cut freehand or run along a straight edge. We recommend using extraction and cut in a well ventilated area.
