Step by Step Guide

Measure Your Wall

Firstly, you need to measure the wall you wish to cover with your shower wall panels. The size of your wall will dictate how many wall panels you need to purchase – and maybe even which design of wall panel you choose.

Choose Your Shower Wall Panel

There are numerous different wall panel designs and styles to choose from – from classic marble and traditional tile effects to contemporary wood and sparkle designs – so you are sure to find a shower wall panel that suits you and your bathroom.

Wall panels also come in a variety of sizes, so the dimensions of your shower may have a bearing on which wall panel you choose. For example, if you have a wet room, with a lot of walls to cover, a larger wall panel will make for a faster more cost-effective option.

Use the National Plastics ‘Panel Calculator’

Once you have chosen your shower wall panel, you now need to work out how many panels you need to complete your renovation. This may sound daunting, but by using our ‘Panel Calculator’, it could not be simpler.

On each product page there is a ‘Panel Calculator’ tool which enables you find out how many wall panels you need to order. This handy tool is extremely easy to use – you simply enter the width of the wall you want to cover, in either inches or centimetres, and the calculator tool will do the rest. Our wall panels are varying widths and lengths so it is important to use the calculator on each specific product page.
