What are Shower Wall Panels?
Shower wall panels (AKA wet wall panels & bathroom wall panels) are waterproof synthetic sheets designed for shower enclosures. They’re usually made of PVC, which makes them a robust and waterproof alternative to tiles, protecting your shower walls from splashes and humidity.
Bathroom wall panels are floor-to-ceiling wall panels that are usually used in a bathroom, but can be used in any high humidity room. Since they are fully waterproof, bathroom wall panels can be used in any area of the bathroom
If you’re doing a bathroom renovation, shower wall panelling is a cost effective and easy-to-install alternative to ceramic tiles. They are available in a range of colours and styles, from pearl white through to black sensa.

FAQs
Here are some of the questions that customers have asked us about buying, installing and maintaining shower and bathroom wall panels in Australia.
Is there a difference between shower and bathroom wall panels?
There is no difference between them! They are the same thing, just worded differently. They are also the same thing as wet wall panels.
Are bathroom wall panels cheaper than tiles?
Let's do a little math based on some estimates from Oneflare.
Tiling your bathroom walls will cost around $45/m2 for materials (on the low end of estimates for the cheapest tiles), $60/m2 for the installation and $35/m2 for waterproofing. That equals $140 per square meter to install tiles. Keep in mind that this is for the cheapest tiles and low-cost installation.
Bathroom wall panels cost $179 per panel and around $30 more per panel in accessories like adhesive and internal corners. Installation costs approximately $80 per panel (you can also install them yourself to save this cost). Each panel is 2.4m2 which means installing bathroom wall panels costs $120 per square meter.
That leads us to the conclusion that yes, bathroom wall panels are cheaper to install than tiles.
Do bathroom wall panels go over tiles?
Do you have ugly tiles that you want to cover up? Shower wall panels are the perfect solution to your problem. Tiles are a great surface to apply bathroom wall panels over and won't take much preparation.
Are PVC bathroom wall panels any good?
We may be a bit bias but we believe that PVC bathroom wall panels are the best wall solution for a bathroom. They are fully waterproof, easy to install, simple to maintain and will last a very long time.
Are PVC or acrylic wall panels better?
We believe that PVC bathroom panels are a better solution than acrylic for a few reasons: they're cheaper, they're lighter, they're more scratch resistant and they have more finishes available.
Where can I install bathroom wall panels?
As the name states you can install them all around your bathroom, including the shower. These panels are also perfect for any high moisture areas like kitchens, restaurants or home gyms. They can be installed directly over most surfaces like tiles, painted walls, and plasterboard.
Can you drill into shower panels?
Yes, you can drill into PVC shower wall panels, as this is often needed when installing accessories in your shower cubicle. However, it’s important to maintain watertightness by using a silicone sealant after drilling to seal the hole. It’s often easier to drill into waterproof shower panels than other, harder, surfaces like ceramic tiles.
Can I use wet wall panels in a small bathroom?
While wet wall panels are made of tough PVC, the material can be cut to any size relatively easily, making them ideal for small bathrooms or shower enclosures. You can often buy a sided shower panel kit, which comes complete with the panels, trim, and adhesive, and you simply cut the panels to fit. Cutting them won’t affect your watertight finish.
