BATHROOM WALL PANELS & WET-WALL

A Waterproof Wall Finish With Fewer Joints to Clean

Large bathroom wall panels cover a shower or full room with far fewer joints than tiles. They are often called wet-wall, shower-wall or PVC panelling, depending on the product.

WHAT TO THINK ABOUT

Choose the Panel Type, Not Only the Pattern

Different panels use different cores, surfaces, joint systems and trims. The right option depends on where it will be fitted, how the edges are finished and the look you want.

  • PVC, laminate and other waterproof panel systems
  • Internal corners and visible edge trims
  • Full-height shower area or wider room coverage

YOUR OPTIONS

Prepare the Background and Seal Every Opening

Panels still rely on sound walls and careful fitting. Corners, joints, tray edges and pipe openings must be sealed as part of the complete shower area.

  • Check and prepare the wall behind
  • Seal joints, trims and pipe penetrations
  • Coordinate the panel layout with the tray, bath and furniture

QUESTIONS ABOUT BATHROOM WALL PANELS

Clear Answers Before You Choose

If your room or situation is different, ask about it during a home or showroom appointment.

Ask about your bathroom
Are wet-wall and shower-wall panels the same thing?+

The names are often used for similar waterproof bathroom panel products, although the materials and joint systems differ.

Are wall panels easier to clean than tiles?+

They have fewer joints and no large areas of grout, which many people find quicker to wipe down.

Can panels be fitted over tiles?+

Some systems may allow it if the existing surface is sound and flat, but the product guidance and added thickness need to be checked.
