I'm just about to start the tiling in my bathroom refit, and, having boxed all the pipework in, I want to put in a couple of access panels. I've read plenty of threads here, and using Aquapanel (which I'm using for the boxing in anyway) seems to be preferred to ply for the panel itself, and there are 2 methods of attaching the panel in place that are mentioned alot, velcro and magnetic catches (and obviously silicone around the hatch once it's in place).

So, my question. Velcro or magnetic, and, more specifically, how do you secure either to the back of the aquapanel?

Many thanks in advance.

I don't use anything on the back to hold them in.

Tile as normal and before grouting, cut out the access panel. Grout walls and access panels.

A couple of cut down tile spacers below bottom tile line and above top tile line will hold it in place whilst you silicone it into permanent position.
