6 Benefits of Using Wet Wall Panels

There are many reasons to choose wet wall panels over other materials like tiles in wet rooms like bathrooms. Today, we cover six benefits of using wet wall panels in your renovation.

1. Cleanliness

Wet wall panels are resistant to mould, mildew, and condensation. When properly installed, they are 100% waterproof, protecting your walls from these common problems. The PVC material of our wet wall panels repels condensation, meaning your bathroom dries quicker.

Wet wall panels are also easier to clean than other surfaces like tiles. You can use a warm, damp cloth and dish soap to wipe down wall panels once a week, keeping them clean and maintaining a hygienic environment.

2. Aesthetics

The range of wall panel finishes available means you can use wall panels to make your bathroom look however you want. You can find panels with finishes replicating wood or stone, as well as the classic white finishes available.

3. Cost-Effective

Wet wall panels offer a cheaper alternative to luxury materials like marble without sacrificing the aesthetics of the finished surface. Bathroom wall panels are even more affordable than buying traditional tiles for your space. You can find an excellent wall panel design that completes your bathroom vision regardless of your budget.

Materials like marble, onyx, and granite are highly desirable for bathroom spaces but are beyond a realistic budget for most people. Wet wall panels give you the same luxurious aesthetic for a fraction of the price and far more straightforward care instructions.

4. Easy Installation

PVC wall panels save time on installation since they are single pieces with tongue and groove fastenings.
