I decided the get someone to tile the bathroom instead,i could not risk it or have the guilt hanging over me.
As usual,they are geared towards folks who cannot afford tiles,but when all is counted,they are much the same price.
My partner put a light to one of the panels outside,OMG,it was like putting a light to petrol.
Just a word of warning to any folk who are thinking of getting these" DO NOT",they are cheap looking and dangerous.
