Bathroom with shower and basin

For many homeowners, cleaning accounts for a large chunk of home-related tasks. Whether you’re cleaning the bathroom or wiping down the surfaces after cooking a meal for your family, it’s no surprise that you want to find alternative ways to decorate your home whilst still being practical.

Wetwall panels are becoming increasingly popular for this reason. Unlike tiles, they’re easy to maintain and don’t require constant cleaning. Wetwall panels are also much easier to install than their tile counterpart, meaningt you can use them throughout many different rooms in the house.

In this article, we’ve shared three practical uses for Wetwall panels in your home and how you can incorporate them into your room's existing interior design.

What is wetwall?

Wetwall is a waterproof wall panel system designed as an alternative to traditional tiles for bathrooms, showers, and other wet areas. Made from durable materials like high-pressure laminate or PVC, wetwall panels are seamless, easy to clean, and highly resistant to moisture, mould, and stains. They come in various designs and finishes, including stone, wood, and tile effects, offering both practicality and aesthetic appeal. Ideal for quick installations, wetwall panels require minimal maintenance and provide a modern, stylish solution for creating water-resistant spaces without the need for grout.

One of the most common uses for Wetwall is in the bathroom. Wetwall panels are a great solution for bathrooms that require a material to make the room appear larger. Wetwall panels can be easily installed to have an interesting effect on your available space.

Wetwall panels can also reduce condensation in a bathroom - even those in hardwater areas. This means that there’s no danger of condensation ruining the design of your panels.

Aside from being more practical than tiles in terms of installation and maintenance, they’re also really appealing to look at and come in a wide range of different kinds. When selecting Wetwall panels, you don’t have to worry about choosing substance over style; you can choose marble panels, panels that replicate raw red brick, or even the trendy subway tile. By implementing these kinds of wetwall bathroom ideas, you can ensure your bathroom is the envy of the whole neighbourhood.

Shower panels

Because Wetwall panels are made with PVC, they make the perfect wall solution for the shower. The PVC material means that the wet wall shower panels are completely waterproof, which means you’ll never need to worry about moisture in the air or splashes from the shower leaking into other rooms.

Wetwall shower panels are also durable, and don’t worry if you accidentally get stubborn stains on the wall –  you can remove them with some soapy water and a quick rinse.

Wetwall panels can make for the ideal wall covering for wet rooms, too. Creating a wet room with our 100% waterproof panels can be a chic and practical renovation, as wet rooms are more accessible to those with limited physical abilities. What’s more, you can create as unique or plain a wet room as you want. You could create an alcove reminiscent of an outdoor shower with our stone effect wall panels. You could even use wooden printed wall panels for an effect that wouldn’t be possible with genuine, non-waterproof wood.

Kitchen panels

Another creative idea for using Wetwall within your home is to fit them to the surfaces and walls of your kitchen. Areas above the hob and kitchen walls are especially useful locations for these waterproof wall panels..

Wet wall panels are fantastic for kitchens as they’re much more hygienic than traditional tiles. Since the Wetwall material doesn’t need to be installed with grout, there’s no need to spend time excessively cleaning the area, as you can remove splashes of food with one swipe of a damp cloth.
Since wet wall panels come in a variety of colours and effects, there’s even the added bonus of being able to create a feature wall in your kitchen when using them.

Sparkle-effect wet wall panels are great for those with a small kitchen that they want to appear larger and brighter, whereas tile-effect panels help to achieve the look of traditional tiles, without the complicated installation and constant struggle to keep them clean!

As you can see, Wetwall can make a great addition to any home looking to improve its interior design whilst remaining practical. Don’t forget that we offer a variety of wet wall panels that can be used within your own home; we’d love to see how you use them!
