Important Information

Please note: Our maximum panel length for our courier is 1500mm. If your wall is longer than this and therefore you enter dimensions larger than 1500mm, we will provide you with multiple pieces to make up the total length required. We will make sure that the panels are cut to equal sizes so that they can be joined in the middle.
