Welcome to Shower Wall Panels & Accessories. Our aim is to provide you with information about all types of shower wall panels for a wall covering that is stylish, practical and will stand the test of time. As you know, most showers will use a panel for each wall. Each wall panel is a separate piece and usually slotted together using a tongue and groove system. The tongue slides into the groove of the next panel and so on, thus covering the wall and ensuring a very quick and easy installation.
There are a number of different sizes of the wall panel available for your shower room including some extra long boards for use on ceilings. Some common standard sizes can include 250 millimeters wide by 2.7 meters long, 250 millimeters wide by 2.6 meters long, 333 millimeters wide by 2.7 meters long and 100 millimeters wide by 2.7 meters long. Whatever size you select, the only join line will be in the corner. A color- coordinated Click-Seal corner profile will be supplied with your kit and will ensure a neat, watertight finish. For smaller enclosures, shower wall panels can be cut to size with normal woodworking tools.
Shower wall panels come in a huge range of colors styles and effects including mosaic effect, marble effect, wood grain effect and plain colors. We are sure there will be something in the range to suit every taste – and budget. Although the cost of the panels is a little more than most tiles but the labor time is considerably less and once installed there is no grout to discolor or go moldy. Anyone with basic DIY skills can install it as it is easy to cut & fit using the specially designed corner trims, adhesive & sealant.
Installation methods are generally very simple, and while batons and stud work can be used for preparation requirements, the panels can be fixed immediately onto a plaster, block, brick, and can even be fixed over existing ceramic tiles. Most installers prefer sticking the panels directly to the wall with some form of panel adhesive, and as this adhesive is quite thick it can be used to pack out uneven areas of the wall.
Why choose shower wall panels? Most people would choose tiles for covering the shower walls. However, even though the tiles themselves are water-proof, the grout present between them can absorb water and make the shower wall become weak. The warm and moist environment can encourage the growth of mold, which can make cleaning the tiles a difficult task. Shower wall panels have the following benefits: They are water proof, easy to install, easy to clean, mold resistant, do not have grouted, and can also be installed over the existing tiles.
