Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose wall panels instead of tiles?
Wall panels offer a modern alternative to traditional tiling. They are:
Quicker to install – Large panels cover more area with less effort.
Easier to maintain – No grout lines, so cleaning is simple.
Stylish – Available in a wide range of finishes, from marble-effect to contemporary matt.
Waterproof & durable – Designed specifically for wet areas like showers and bathrooms.
Are bathroom wall panels waterproof?
Yes. Panels are built with waterproof cores and sealed edges, making them suitable for shower enclosures, wet rooms, and around baths. Correct sealing at joints and edges is essential for long-term performance.
Can panels be installed over tiles?
In most cases, yes. As long as the existing tiles are sound, panels can be fitted directly over them, reducing preparation time and mess.
What sizes do wall panels come in?
Panels are available in a variety of sizes to suit different spaces, from full-height sheets for shower walls to smaller panels for half-height designs. Exact dimensions vary by range, but most are easy to cut to size for a tailored fit.
Do wall panels require special maintenance?
No. Simply wipe down with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scouring pads to preserve the finish.
How do wall panels compare on cost?
While individual panels may be more expensive than tiles, overall installation is often quicker and cheaper as you avoid tiling labour and grout. They also last well, making them cost-effective in the long term.
Can I install wall panels myself?
Yes, many panels are designed for straightforward installation. You’ll need adhesive, sealant, and basic cutting tools. For more complex layouts or wet room installations, a professional fitter ensures the best finish.
