This blog will give you a concise overview of the many benefits of bathroom wall panels and hopefully help convince you that they are the best choice for you and your home.
How many panels do I need?
The amount of wall panels you will need to complete your bathroom transformation will depend on the style and size of the wall panels you choose. Calculating this may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but with our ‘Panel Calculator’ it could not be simpler.
Panel Calculator
On each product page there is a ‘Panel Calculator’ tool which enables you find out how many of your chosen wall panels you need to order. This convenient calculator is easy to use, you simply enter the width of the wall you wish to cover, in either inches or centimetres, and the calculator will do the rest. Our bathroom wall panels are all a standard height, but the widths do differ, so it is important to use the calculator on each specific product page. You will then know how many bathroom wall panels you need to complete your bathroom renovation.
How much does it cost?
The cost of your new bathroom wall panels will vary depending on the style and brand of panel you choose. However, they will be significantly less expensive than their real alternatives, allowing you to replicate the beauty of marble or the warmth of wood without the associated cost.
How to choose?
Choosing which bathroom wall panel is right for you will usually come down to the style and design of your bathroom. It may also depend on the size of your bathroom, with larger wall panels being ideal for smaller spaces, and smaller designs being perfect for bigger rooms. You may also wish to choose two different designs, but in the same colour, to create texture and interest, or you may decide to use different colours to create a real statement. With so many different designs to choose from, the world really is your oyster.
Wall panels vs traditional tiles
When choosing a wall covering for a new bathroom, traditional tiles are usually the first – and only – option people consider. Whilst a viable choice, ceramic tiles require a smooth surface on which to be laid, secured with adhesive and finished with grout. They are awkward to cut and once in place require constant cleaning to prevent mould forming. This blog looks at the differences between tiles and wall panels and will hopefully provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
