Are Shower Panels and Bathroom Wall Panels Different?

The short answer is yes! Although these differences are subtle, they are worth bearing in mind when choosing the best wall panel for your bathroom or shower.

Can Bathroom Wall Panels Be Used in a Shower?

Yes, they can, but we would recommend choosing specific shower wall panels. Bathroom wall panels are extremely effective, but shower panels are thicker and have been designed to withstand the amount of water they experience every day.

What are Shower Wall Panels for?

Shower wall panels are specifically designed for use inside a shower cubicle. 100% waterproof and with minimum seams, their design means they can withstand daily use and the constant stream of water from a shower, without degrading, fading, or breaking.

What are Bathroom Wall Panels for?

Bathroom wall panels are perfect for creating a beautiful, stylish wall in your bathroom. Whether you choose to cover the entire room or just those areas around the bath, sink and toilet, bathroom wall panels are 100% waterproof, helping to protect your bathroom walls and creating a clean, hygienic environment.

What are the Similarities Between Shower and Bathroom Wall Panels?

There are many similarities between shower and bathroom wall panels, from the range of colours and styles available to being 100% waterproof. Both shower and bathroom wall panels are easy to install and, as they require no grout, even easier to look after. Combined this makes them extremely hygienic – perfect for rooms with high levels of condensation, such as bathrooms.

Is There a Difference Between Shower Panels and Bathroom Wall Panels?

A key difference between shower panels and bathroom wall panels is that shower panels are specifically designed for shower cubicles to minimise seams. They are also 10mm thick – most bathroom panels are 5mm to 8mm thick – which increases durability, a key quality in such a high use area.
