Are bathroom and shower wall panels fully waterproof?
Yes. All of our PVC and Premium Rigid panels are designed for wet areas. When fitted with the correct trims and sanitary sealant, they create a sealed, waterproof surface suitable for showers and bathrooms & wet areas.
What’s the difference between Standard PVC and Premium Rigid panels?
Standard PVC panels are lightweight, hollow-core boards available in a wide range of widths and finishes.
Premium Rigid panels (including Hardex WPC and SPC tile-style panels) are thicker, denser and offer a more substantial feel with more realistic stone and tile finishes.
Can shower panels be installed over existing tiles?
In many cases, yes. Existing tiles must be clean, secure and level. Loose tiles should be removed and uneven surfaces corrected before installation. This saves on money & time.
What sizes do bathroom wall panels come in?
Most panels are supplied in full-height boards (typically around 2.4m–2.7m).
Width options vary by range, from narrower 250mm boards to wide 1000mm panels for faster coverage. Check each products specs tab for full product sizes.
Are shower panels better than tiles?
Wall panels install faster, require no grout and are easier to clean. They provide a seamless, modern finish with fewer joints compared to traditional tiling.
Can PVC panels be cut to size?
Yes. Panels can usually be cut with standard tools and finished neatly using matching trims and profiles.
