5 Bathroom Wall Panel Myths

 5 Bathroom Wall Panel Myths

We know there are many preconceptions about bathroom wall panels which may put you off choosing them for your next bathroom renovation. We want to banish some of these myths!

Panels are More Expensive than Tiles

As a relatively new type of wall covering, you may think that bathroom wall panels are the more expensive option. However, they are actually the most cost-effective choice. Wall panels can emulate myriad finishes, from traditional tile, and marble to natural wood and contemporary mosaic, but are significantly lower in price than their real counterparts.

Wall Panels Look Cheap

We may be biased but we believe bathroom wall panels are one of the most stylish wall covering options available. Far from looking cheap, bathroom wall panels can emulate the most luxurious tile options, such as marble, but without the expense and the hassle. Even those wall panels designed to imitate traditional ceramic tile, provide a realistic, stylish finish without looking inferior.

Wall Panels are Only Available in Plain Colours

This is definitely not true! Wall panels come in a wide variety of designs and colours, from traditional tile, luxurious marble and natural wood to the more contemporary mosaic and sparkle designs. So whatever style of home you have, there will be a wall panel design for you.

Wall Panels Won’t Last Long

They will! Wall panels have been specifically designed to last. They are 100% waterproof and do not require any grout during installation, which means no water can penetrate the panel and cause lasting damage, and they do not attract mould. They only require a simple wipe with a damp cloth to keep them clean, so your wall panels will look better a lot longer than a traditional tile alternative.

Wall Panels are Difficult to Install

Wall panels are extremely easy to install. They do not require any specialist knowledge or tools and can be fitted onto a variety of surfaces – even over the top of existing tiles. You may choose to hire the skills of a professional, but they can also be installed by you. We can even provide you with an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to get you started!

This ease of installation means you can transform a room in a matter of hours rather than days and at the fraction of the cost of a traditional wall covering.
