Why choose marble bathroom panels over tiles?

Marble bathroom panels offer a high-end aesthetic without the high-cost or intensive maintenance of traditional tiles. Key benefits for choosing panels include:

• Hygienic and low maintenance: Being grout-free, panels eliminate the risk of mould and mildew growth, requiring only a simple wipe-down with warm soapy water.

• Speedy installation: They are much quicker to fit than tiles and can even be installed directly over existing surfaces to save time.

• Cost-effective: Panels are generally more affordable than premium tiles and reduce labour costs as specialist tilers aren’t required.

• Better insulation: PVC panels help retain heat in the room far better than cold ceramic tiles.

How do you install marble bathroom wall panels?

Installing marble wall panels is a straightforward, DIY-friendly process. First, ensure your walls are clean and free of debris. Measure the height and width of your space, transferring these to the panels and cutting them to size with a fine-toothed saw.

Apply a generous amount of specialist adhesive to the back of the panel. Slot the first panel into your starting trim - typically an internal corner or end cap - and secure it to the wall. Continue across the wall using the tongue-and-groove system to click each subsequent panel into place. For a professional finish, ensure each joint is properly aligned and use trims to cover all exposed edges.

Are marble bathroom panels suitable for wet rooms and shower enclosures, and how waterproof are they?

Yes, our marble bathroom panels are all 100% waterproof. This makes them an ideal choice for wet rooms, walk-in showers or shower enclosures. They feature a watertight tongue-and-groove interlocking system that prevents moisture from penetrating the surface. 

For maximum waterproofing in high-moisture areas like shower cubicles, we recommend applying a small bead of silicone sealant within the tongue-and-groove joint during installation to create an absolute, airtight seal.

What adhesives, trims, and sealants are required to install marble bathroom wall panels?

To achieve a professional and durable finish, you will need the following specific accessories:

• Adhesive: A high-strength, specialist product like Clad Grip Panel & Cladding Adhesive is required to bond the panels securely to the wall.

• Trims: These include internal and external corners for tidy joins, end caps to finish exposed edges and coving trims for the ceiling-to-wall transition.

Sealant: Anti-bacterial silicone sealant is essential for waterproofing.

How do I choose the right marble bathroom panel for my space?

Choosing the right marble panel will depend on your needs, room size and desired aesthetic. If you need to panel a bathroom or wet area that has continuous flowing water, opting for 100% waterproof PVC panels is a must. If your bathroom is particularly small, opting for panels that are thinner with a gloss finish will help make it feel bigger and brighter. 

As for design, our marble wall panels come in a variety of colours and finishes. Whether you’re looking to go for the timeless spa feel or a contemporary, sophisticated atmosphere, we have the panels for you.

Are PVC marble-effect bathroom panels easy to install?

Yes, our PVC marble-effect panels are designed specifically for ease of installation. The tongue-and-groove system, lightweight design and easy-to-cut composition make them accessible even for first-time DIYers.

How long do PVC marble bathroom panels typically last?

PVC marble bathroom panels are built to be extremely hard-wearing and long-lasting. Manufactured from high-quality, durable materials, they are resistant to the daily wear and tear of a busy family home.

Unlike tiles, they do not crack, and because there is no grout to disintegrate or discolour, the panels maintain their "as-new" appearance for many years. They are also steam-resistant and Class 1 fire-rated, ensuring they remain safe and functional throughout their lifespan. With only a basic cleaning routine, your panels will provide a beautiful, hygienic wall covering that stands the test of time.

Can I order a sample of a marble bathroom panel before purchasing full-size panels?
