Grey Wall Panels

Frequently Asked Questions

Experience the stylish neutrality of our grey wall panels in any room in your house. Try out our grey bathroom panels, they are great for bathrooms due to the colour’s versatility. Dark grey wall panelling is great if you have mirrors, plants, or bright pictures in your bathroom. This will balance light and dark to create a sensual ambience.

If your bathroom is on the smaller side, try out a light grey panel. Lighter colours work perfectly in smaller spaces as they ensure the room is as bright and airy as possible. Also, there is no need to worry that your lighter grey wall panels will lose colour due to general wear and tear, as our sturdy panels are a great waterproof alternative to tiling. To clean your grey wall panels, use warm, soapy water on a soft cloth to wipe them down and dry them off afterwards.

Can I paint over grey wall panels?

Our grey wall panels are designed with a high-quality, durable finish that is intended to be the final look. We do not recommend painting over them. The non-porous surface of the PVC is designed to repel water and stains, which means paint will struggle to adhere correctly and is likely to peel or chip. With so many shades of grey available in our range, you can find the perfect permanent tone for your space.

What are the best colour pairings for grey wall panels?

Grey is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with many styles:

• Modern: Pair light grey marble panels with matte black taps and trims

• Warm: Combine concrete-effect grey with natural wood furniture

• Bright: Use white sanitaryware and bright chrome fixtures to make the grey tones pop

• Bold: Add navy blue or forest green accents for a high-contrast, contemporary look.

Is it better to use grey wall panels or traditional tiles?

Wall panels offer several advantages over traditional tiles. They are cheaper and faster to install, requiring no specialist tiling skills. Unlike tiles, panels do not require grout, which means no more scrubbing mouldy grout lines. Panels provide a 100% waterproof surface that is easier to clean and offers a seamless look that tiles struggle to replicate, especially in large-format designs.

What sizes are available for grey wall panels?

Our grey wall panels come in various sizes to suit different projects. Standard wall panels are typically 250mm wide, making them easy to handle. For shower enclosures, we offer wide-panel options (up to 1m wide) to create a seamless, join-free surface. Most panels are available in lengths of 2.4m or 2.6m, ensuring they can cover most UK walls from floor to ceiling in one go.

Are grey wall panels a good idea for bathrooms?

Yes, they are an excellent choice. Grey is a timeless, neutral colour that doesn't date, helping your bathroom maintain its value. Beyond aesthetics, our grey panels are 100% waterproof and provide excellent insulation, helping to reduce condensation and keep your bathroom warmer. They are durable, easy to clean and much more hygienic than tiled surfaces due to the lack of grout.

Is it cheaper to install grey wall panels or tiles?

Installing grey wall panels is significantly more cost-effective. You save money on both materials and labour. There is no need for grout, spacers, or expensive tile adhesive. Additionally, because panels can be fitted over existing tiles or uneven walls, you save on the cost of demolition. Most homeowners find they can complete the installation themselves, eliminating professional tiling fees.

Can I get samples of the grey wall panels before purchasing?

Yes, we highly recommend ordering samples. Seeing the grey tones and textures in your own bathroom lighting is the best way to ensure the product meets your expectations. We offer a sample service across our grey range, including gloss, matte, and textured stone-effect finishes. This allows you to test the quality and match the colour against your existing fixtures before committing to a full order.

Does grey wall panelling make a room look bigger or smaller?

This will depend on the shade and finish. Light grey or silver panels with a high-gloss finish reflect light, making a small bathroom feel much larger and airier. Darker charcoal panels create a cozy, enclosed feel, which works brilliantly for larger bathrooms or for creating a dramatic feature wall. 

Which grey wall panels are best for bathrooms?

It is best to opt for 100% waterproof PVC panels when you’re looking to use grey wall panelling in bathrooms. 

Is grey wall panelling still in style?

Grey remains a popular neutral in UK interior design. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to act as a sophisticated backdrop for almost any accent colour.

Can I use grey wall panels to create a DIY slat wall?

While you could cut standard panels into strips, it is much easier and more effective to use our dedicated 3D slat wall panels in grey. These are designed specifically to give the textured, slatted look with a single installation. However, if you want a flat plank look, you can certainly use our grey tongue and groove panels to create a stunning vertical or horizontal wood-effect feature wall.
