Shiplap Door Panel
Shiplap's clean linear appearance makes it one of the most versatile decorative panels. Perfect for both traditional and modern homes, and an ideal choice for conservatory panels, front, rear and stable doors. If you want a durable panel that's also decorative and creates a traditional appearance, with classic shiplap styling, then this is a great choice.
The Shiplap grooves are applied to both sides, and run down the long side of the panel, which can be used any way round to present horizontal or vertical shiplap appearance.

The horizontal board-effect of Decklap presents a clean, architectural style that offers a contemporary alternative to traditional decorative panels, with low-maintenance, long-lasting performance. The perfect replacement PVC-u panel for modern homes, and an ideal choice for conservatory panels, front, rear and stable doors.
The Decklap grooves are applied to both sides, and run across the short side of the panel, which can be used any way round to present the appearance of horizontal or vertical decking or cladding.
Herringbone Door Panel
Herringbone can be arranged to emulate the herringbone pattern made popular by premium timber flooring and decorative wall panelling. It stands out from conventional door and panel styles, making it perfect for homeowners seeking a distinctive high-end finish. Herringbone is the perfect replacement PVC-u panel for conservatories and doors, that require a premium decoration with an eye-catching focal point.
The Herringbone grooves are applied to both sides, and run diagonally up the length, from bottom left to top right. Panels can be used any way round to achieve the required design, including classic herringbone.
Important: The manufacturing process of infill panels can sometimes cause edges to appear unsightly. As the panels are designed to be housed within a beaded frame, edges are not visible once installed and do not affect the product's performance. Infill panels are intended to be cut down, typically removing any perceived edge imperfections.

Fitting and Usage
Fitting the Reinforced PVC-u Infill Panel
Fitting the panels is fairly straight forward but we offer 6 useful pointers to bear in mind.
- Leave protective film in place to prevent scratches during handling. Be sure to peal off before fitting, or peel back from the edges, so that it does not get trapped by the beads.
- A decorators paint scraper or similar tool can be used to remove any beads. When removing, it is easier to start with the longer ones. When replacing beads, the longer ones should be done last. As you remove beads, mark the back of them to identify where they came from (ie. top, right, bottom, left) as they should be put back in the same position.
- When measuring and cutting to size, remember the phrase 'measure twice - cut once'. Be sure the measurement is correct as a cut can't be undone.
- Fine toothed handsaw or jigsaw blade is most suitable for cutting the panels.
- Soft headed hammers can be used to encourage reluctant beads to go back in when fitting is tight. Remember that cold temperature can make PVC-u brittle.
- Grooved panels often look their best when they are centred within their frame. So when reducing the width or length of the panel, consider making cuts to two sides, rather than just one. This can centralise the panel and help it look more balanced.
