Effortless Elegance - Exploring the Appeal of Tile Effect Bathroom Wall Panels

Tile is the traditional choice of wall covering for a bathroom. It offers myriad design options and is relatively durable and long lasting. However, what if you could have the look and feel of tile but without the costly installation and continuous cleaning. Tile effect bathroom wall panels could be the answer.

This blog will look at how tile effect wall panels differ from traditional tiles and why they are the perfect alternative for your bathroom.

How are Tile Effect Wall Panels Different from Tiles?

There are many ways in which tile effect wall panels differ from traditional tiles.

Firstly, tiles are individual pieces. Although available in varying sizes, they do take a long time to fit and require precision planning to ensure a symmetrical, consistent finish. Bathroom wall panels are larger and therefore can be installed far more quickly. They do not require any grout and can be fitted directly on top of existing tiles, making the whole installation process much simpler.

Secondly, tile effect wall panels are 100% waterproof. Traditional tiles are waterproof, but only up to a point. The use of grout, which can deteriorate over time, and numerous joins mean that water is able to get underneath and onto the bathroom wall. This can cause damage to both the tile and the wall.

Lastly, tile effect wall panels are extremely easy to install and even easier to maintain. They take half the time to fit than traditional tiles and can be installed by any competent DIYer! Once up, they need only a wipe clean with a warm cloth to keep them looking like new – and because there is no grout, there is no chance of unsightly mould developing.

Why Should I Choose Tile Effect Bathroom Wall Panels?

As mentioned above, we think there are many reasons why you should choose tile effect wall panels over traditional tiles.

100% waterproof

Being 100% waterproof, they are ideal for rooms with high levels of condensation, such as bathrooms. They help to keep your bathroom free of mould and mildew, which makes for a cleaner, more hygienic environment.

Durable

Tile effect wall panels can withstand knocks, bumps and scraps, which makes them perfect for rooms that are in constant use. They will not chip, scratch or break like traditional tiles, which means they will last much longer – and look more beautiful whilst doing it!

Cost effective

Whilst tile effect wall panels may be slightly more expensive initially, over their lifetime they will cost far less than traditional tiles. You do not need to employ the services of a professional to install them and they take far less time to fit, saving you both time and money. They do not need any expensive cleaning products to keep them looking good, and, due to their durability, they will last much longer and will not need replacing as often as traditional tiles.
