HPL, SMC, PVC, which material to choose?
(I promise, we'll stop there with the acronyms)
First and foremost, you need to analyze the existing shower space. Is the wall plumb, or does it have any defects? If so, it's best to use a thick, rigid wall panel to correct these defects and facilitate installation. HPL (High Pressure Laminate) panels are 11mm thick and are mainly used in the nautical sector (boat hulls), which means they'll be watertight through and through! See the New style range for more information.
SMC (sheet modling compound) is a relatively homogeneous blend of resins and fibers, guaranteeing exceptional quality and a perfect match with your SMC shower tray. The shower tray and wall panels merge into a large, homogeneous surface that makes your bathroom appear more spacious. This slate-structured panel has the same feel as natural stone and is available in white, black and gray.
For smaller budgets, PVC wall panels are the way to go, but be careful! Some PVC panels are not compatible with the installation of a safety shower. The pressure of a shower bar or seat can damage the covering. We recommend reinforced PVC panels instead.
For design lovers
Imitation wood, cement tile, marble: let your imagination run wild to design a trendy, personalized shower space!
The interior decorator's tip? Match the panel to the piece of furniture, so that all the elements in the bathroom are in perfect harmony! Don't hesitate to mix and match! A waxed concrete panel with a carbon for a chic, industrial look, or a glossy white with a flake to bring in the light!
A delighted user and an enthusiastic installer!
As you can see, the panel will delight the user with its looks and maintenance, but the installer won't be outdone either.
Panels are easily installed by gluing them to the wall. Some are equipped with a clip-on system that makes it easy to align several panels without using H-joints, for a smooth, uniform finish. Corner joints are made using special profiles.
When it comes to waterproofing the shower tray, Transeal profiles can be used to create a silicone-free seal. It is flexible enough to adapt to any deformation of the tray under weight.
Suitable for all bathrooms
Wall panels are the most practical and aesthetic solution for protecting shower walls. As there are no joints, panels are simple and easy to maintain. So no bacteria or dirt to worry about. Once used only in renovation projects, these panels are now widely used in new construction - and now you know why!
