Our 8mm bathroom wall panels improve your bathroom due to their flexibility and strength. They’re also a quick, long-lasting, affordable, and easy alternative to traditional tiling and painting due to their smooth tongue and groove installation. To install these 8mm thick shower panels, clean your existing wall down and mount them directly on your wall using adhesive and screws, depending on the surface.

How do you clean and maintain 8mm Bathroom Wall Panels?
Cleaning and maintenance of bathroom wall panels is simple and fairly effortless compared to other materials like tiles. For routine cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to wipe down the surface. To avoid streaks and spots between cleanings, use a squeegee after showering.
With bathroom wall panels, it is important to avoid hard chemicals, abrasive cleaners, bleach and scouring pads, as these can dull their finish.
What colours and finishes are available in 8mm Bathroom Wall Panels?
Here at DBS, we have a wide range of wall panel designs to suit any aesthetic:
Effects and textures: Choose from realistic marble, stone or wood grain effects to bring a natural feel into your bathroom. Alternatively, opt for tile-effect panels for a more traditional look.
Styles: Options include sparkle finishes for a touch of glamour, high-gloss whites for a bright feel or matt finishes for a modern look.
Are 8mm Bathroom Wall Panels a good choice for bathrooms?
Yes, they are an ideal choice for both renovations and new builds. They are specifically designed to withstand high-moisture environments, making them more practical than most paint or wallpaper. It is important to double-check that the 8mm panels you’ve selected for wet-areas like showers are 100% waterproof before installation.
The 8mm thickness offers the necessary rigidity for bathroom walls while remaining lightweight enough for easy handling. They are a favourite for landlords and homeowners alike due to their long-lasting, fit and forget nature.
Are 8mm Bathroom Wall Panels waterproof?
Yes, the vast majority of our 8mm bathroom wall panels are 100% waterproof and steam resistant. Made from high-quality PVC, they feature a non-porous surface that prevents water from penetrating the wall behind. This makes them perfect for use inside shower enclosures and around baths where direct water contact is constant, effectively protecting your home from damp and structural water damage.
Can 8mm Bathroom Wall Panels be fitted over tiles?
Yes, they can. Provided that the tiles are clean and securely attached to the wall, installing wall panels over tiles is fairly straightforward. A bonus for renovators, this saves time by removing the need for messy, time-consuming tile removal.
The key with installing wall panels over tiles is to ensure the surface of the tiles is degreased so the adhesive can bond correctly. Additionally, if any tiles are loose, they should be removed or repaired before installation.
How long do 8mm Bathroom Wall Panels last?
DBS Bathrooms panels are built for longevity and often come with a 5-year guarantee for peace of mind. Because they are made from durable PVC, they do not rot, peel or warp over time. When installed correctly and cleaned with non-abrasive products, these panels can look fresh and maintain their structural integrity for many years, outlasting many traditional bathroom decorating methods.
