Who is missing from this summary of bathroom wall panels?


Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Is anyone obvious missing from the summary of bathroom / shower wall panels below?

 

I made it this morning but its not quite complete yet.

 

manufacturer URL guarantee materials
multipanel multipanel.co.uk/ 30 years on Neutrals, Linda Barker, Classic and Heritage  
mermaid https://mermaidpanels.co.uk/ 15 years Elite range is a 100% Wood Plastic Composite waterproof core.
Timeless Trade range is a WBP plywood
fibo https://fibo.co.uk/ 25 years plywood
IPSL interiorpanelsystems.co.uk/ 10 years Aquabord Laminate: 10mm Solid w/ Foam Core no Tongue and Groove

Aquabord PVC: 10.5mm Hollow Section Tongue and Groove

Proclad Solid Colour: 2.5mm Solid uPVC no Tongue and Groove
showerwall showerwall.co.uk 10 years HPL range
Laminate on MDF Tongue and Groove

Acrylic
4mm thick no Tongue and Groove
panelstyle panelstyle.co.uk/ 5 years Splashpanel hollowcore 10mm
starline plumbworld.co.uk/ 10 years  

 

 

I'm interesting in using panels for two new bathrooms in an our renovation because I don't like cleaning grout.

 

Which panels are good?

 

Thanks!

I'll update more prices later.

 

I suspect the panels have been more commonly used in commercial settings and are coming across to domestic markets more and more?

 

Main constructions I can see are as follows:

  • Plywood laminate: 9 mm plywood + 2 mm laminate
  • Fibre Board laminate: 9 mm MDF + 2 mm laminate
  • Plastic hollow core board: 10 mm PVC hollow core / vertical cuboid with decoration facing
  • plastic foam board: 10 mm plastic foam with decoration facing
  • Solid acrylic: 4 mm (with paint on rear face?)
  • Paper Composite: 3 mm paper fibre phenolic resin laminates with decoration facing

If there are any errors, there is an editable copy here

I like the look of these because I think I err of the side of plywood, perhaps unfairly:

Another one not to be overlooked.

https://www.recosurfaces.com/

they do a huge range and allow you to provide your own images, which surprisingly reduces the cost.

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

WOW. Red snakeskin shower anyone?

I really like the variety. They use a backing tape and silicone as a joint system:

Simon R: have you used them?

Yes, several, I installed them on top of 11mm moisture resistant MDF which I've found to be very stable even in damp conditions. see:
