ONE STOP BATHROOM & CLADDING SHOP LTD

Your bathroom is definitely one of the rooms in your entire house that undergoes more changes and renovations than the rest. Most of us invest a lot of money in an effort to enhance the look and functionality of our bathrooms. However, creating a practical and contemporary bathroom style shouldn’t be difficult and expensive. One of the easiest ways of doing this is by using shower wall panels.

What Are Shower Wall Panels?

Most homeowners choose to use wall tiles in their bathrooms because they’re not aware of alternative solutions such as waterproof shower wall panels, which look more attractive, are easier to install and maintain, and provide more advantages than traditional wall tiles.

Shower wall panels are basically sheets of UPVC material that can be attached to your shower or bathroom walls. They are easier to install than the traditional ceramic bathroom tiles. The panels are normally slotted together using a tongue and groove system that makes it possible for each panel to fit tightly into the next panel, creating a waterproof flawless and attractive wall covering. They are quick and easy to install.

The joints of the shower wall panels can be further sealed with a thin silicone sealant. This is usually done in bathrooms which have high-pressure power showers.

We have a wide range of shower wall panels in different colours and styles including the following:

For the best results, we recommend that you complement the functionality of shower wall panels with PVC waterproof ceiling cladding. This is a perfect combination that will not only enhance the look of your bathroom but save you a lot of maintenance headaches and expenses as well.

We stock UPVC shower panels in a range of different sizes to match your needs. We even have extra long panels for large bathrooms. Browse through our shower wall panels to find the right size for your home or simply contact us today if you need customised lengths.

Shower Wall Panel Installation

Installing shower wall panels is quite simple. The panels can easily be fixed on plaster, brickwork, block, and even over existing ceramic tiles. You can easily stick the panels directly on the wall using a thick panel adhesive that can perfectly cover uneven areas of the bathroom wall.

You can also staple the panels if the walls are suitable for this type of installation. The staples will not be visible as each successive panel conceals the stapled fixing. This is one of the easiest and fastest ways of installing shower wall panels. It also makes it easy to remove the panels when you want to apply a new style or colour.

Due to their ease of installation and low maintenance tasks, shower wall panels have become quite popular today, especially in the DIY industry. They are also hygienic, durable, and an attractive asset to your bathroom.

Advantages of Shower Wall Panels

Shower wall panels are just the perfect option when you want to enhance the experience of your showers. They can be used on any wall in your bathroom besides the shower. Shower wall panels have several advantages compared to conventional tiles.

Some of their key benefits include the following:

UPVC shower wall panels are easily mounted on the wall. They come with all the fixtures you need for easy mounting on your bathroom wall. In most cases, all you need to do is clean the surface of the wall where you want to install the panels and you’re good to go.

Shower wall panels are also quite affordable and economical in the long run. They have low installation costs and you can always find a panel type that’s within your budget. You can even buy matching shower wall panels and bathroom ceiling cladding from our store at a pocket-friendly price. Remember, you save a lot more in maintenance expenses when you install shower wall panels. 

Bathroom wall panels work best when installed in concealed showers but they can fit in every type of shower or bathroom. You can install them in any bathroom. They come in a wide range of styles to fit your unique bathroom colours and design.

Once you have installed the shower wall tiles, you’ll no longer need to spend countless hours cleaning and maintaining the panels. They have a simple wipe-over surface. Cleaning them is quite easy and only takes as little as five minutes, especially if you have a habit of wiping the shower wall dry after showering to keep it dry and prevent the accumulation of dirt.

The panels are also hygienic thanks to their mould and mildew resistance. They don’t have grouts that promote mould and mildew growth in damp showers.

Shower wall panels are made of UPVC, which is a durable material that will ensure that the panels serve you and your family for many years to come. They will also retain their shiny gloss look for a long time, unlike ceramic tiles that start fading after a few years.

What to Look For in the Best Shower Wall Panels

Here are a few things you need to consider when buying shower wall panels:

The Issue of Price vs. Quality

Most of our buying decisions are usually based on the price of the item we intend to purchase. We have a natural tendency to try to save as much as possible from every purchase we make. If you’re planning to buy shower wall panels, start by setting aside your budget for the project so you can know which materials or styles fall within your price range.

However, staying within your budget doesn’t necessarily mean that you should compromise on quality just to save a little money. The panels you intend to buy will serve you for many years to come with little to zero maintenance costs. Avoid making the mistake of shopping for the cheapest shower wall panels to save money when you can afford better quality panels. You could easily end up buying cheap material that may not even last a year. Aim for the best quality that you can afford.

You don’t necessarily have to go for the most expensive but find one that gives you a good balance of price and performance.

Feel free to browse through our wide range of shower wall panels to find a type that suits your needs and budget.

The Functional Role of Shower Wall Panels

Our shower wall panels are not only designed for decorative purposes but for functionality and performance as well. For a start, they are made to keep your shower walls dry and prevent the growth of mould and mildew in your bathroom. In case you didn’t know, mould is one of the leading causes of respiratory diseases in homes. You need to prevent mould and mildew growth in every section of your home, especially damp places such as your bathroom’s shower.

Our shower wall panels are made to serve their functions efficiently. Each panel is fortified with an extra waterproof layer to keep it dry. Check whether the panel you buy has this extra waterproof fortification or not before you make your purchase.

Get Professional Installation

You could buy the best and most expensive type of shower wall panels but if not installed properly all your efforts and expenses will be in vain. It’s always a smart idea to let a professional handle any task more efficiently if your skills in the profession are limited. The same applies to shower wall panel installation.

Unless you’re sure of how everything is done in this type of profession, we highly recommend that you get a professional to install the panels. It will mean less work for you and you’ll get a better and more professionally done installation. Keep in mind that most materials are subject to contraction and expansion in different heat conditions. In any case, working with installation adhesive can be messy and difficult so let a professional with experience in this kind of work do it.
