I quite like a spot of marble but it's more suited to houses usually. And generally rather more costly than this product.
Would have thought that the 5mm thick stuff was a bit prone to cracking specially when used on a boat.
Is it definitely marble?

From this photo I had assumed they are made of some type of plastic.

I would have thought something you can wipe the blood off easily would be handy.

I'd be tempted to use a slitting disc on an angel grinder but that's only because I have a habit of cutting myself with Stanley knife type implements.

I used similar stuff. Get the proper corner/edge strips. Try a jigsaw with fine blade.

See the tutorial videos on the website www.dbsbathrooms.co.uk/videosIt looks interesting, and so long as it’s fixed to a firm ‘wall’ I that would be ok on a boat. But that is a guess, as I have never used it. Considering the price my guess is it is two skin surfaces with a foamed core.

Tenon saw with fine teeth to cut it. Stick and seal edges and corners with PU18 poly or OB1 silicone to taste.

Maybe IKB is not too familiar with this. see below I used this type of panelling at home in the bathroom. Dead easy to use, trim with a stanley knife.You score the face and it then folds enabling you to cut the back. You need a firm surface to stick it to. If you don't have a flat surface, then battens are acceptable (pallet wood is ideal). Use their recommended sealant as being plastic, some of the grab adhesives may be too aggressive and melt the boards. If you have small children about, then their fingers may be able to push the boards in or even pierce them, but in normal use, they are fine. Mines been up 2 years now and still looks good. I trimmed around the bath with an adhesive trim www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kitchen-Bathroom-Self-Adhesive-Caulk-Strip-Sealant-Tape-Toilet-Wall-Sealing-Trim/Most building plastics stockists keep it, there are several makes. My own bathroom on the boat needs some attention this year. It's currently part tiles, but this stuff sticks to them, and also to the plywood that the rest is comprised of.
