Wall Panels

1. Do bathroom wall panels come in different styles and finishes?

We offer bathroom wall panels in a wide variety of styles, colours, and finishes, including options that mimic the look of tiles, stone, marble, or wood.

This allows for a broad range of design possibilities. When choosing a style, consider the overall aesthetic of your bathroom, as well as how the panel's texture and finish will interact with lighting and other materials in the space.

2. Are bathroom wall panels better than tiles?

Unlike traditional tiles, bathroom wall panels are grout-free, making them quicker to install and easier to clean, this eliminates common issues like mould and cracking associated with grout. Decor Wall & Zest panels are designed to be 100% waterproof*, protecting the underlying walls from moisture damage caused by splashes and condensation. The seamless installation process appeals to those seeking a quick refresh of their space without the mess and downtime of traditional tiling. They are often more cost-effective and can provide a modern aesthetic with less upkeep.

3. Which types of bathroom panels are waterproof?

Most modern bathroom wall panels are designed to be waterproof. Look for panels made from PVC or high-quality laminate, which are specifically engineered to withstand moisture, protect underlying walls from moisture damage caused by splashes and condensation, as long as they have been installed and maintained correctly.

4. How durable are bathroom wall panels?

Unlike tiles, bathroom wall panels are grout-free, making them easy to clean and maintain for ultimate longevity. All our panels feature tongue and groove joints, resulting in a trim-free installation that boasts a generous product guarantee giving any homeowner much-needed peace of mind that their investment is protected when considering a bathroom upgrade. What’s more, shower panels are far more hygienic due to their ability to minimise common maintenance problems associated with grout, such as mildew and mould.

5. How do you clean and maintain bathroom wall panels? 

Panels are low-maintenance and easy to clean using a mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could damage the surface. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive products will keep your panels looking fresh and new for longer. For tougher stains, a diluted vinegar solution can be effective without harming the panel’s surface. Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to maintain the warranty.

6. What is the average cost of bathroom panels? 

The price of bathroom panels varies depending on material, design, and size. For a complete installation, costs will also include fitting and additional supplies such as adhesive, trims, and sealants. It’s important to consider not just the material cost but also the installation time, labour, and the long-term maintenance.
