What Are PVC Wall Panels?
PVC wall panels are made from polyvinyl chloride plastic, creating completely waterproof surfaces that won't warp, swell, or deteriorate from moisture exposure. Unlike wood-based panels, PVC maintains its rigidity and strength when wet, making it ideal for direct water contact.
The non-porous plastic surface prevents water penetration and resists mould and mildew growth. This makes PVC panels particularly suitable for British properties where humidity and temperature fluctuations are common.
These panels form part of our comprehensive range of wall panels designed for different environments and requirements. PVC panels excel in high-moisture areas where other materials would fail.
Most customers choose PVC panels for their durability in demanding environments and minimal maintenance requirements over time.
PVC Panel Effects and Finishes
Tile Effect Panels - Realistic tile patterns with grout lines and surface texture. White gloss options provide clean, bright appearance ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
Brick Effect Panels - Authentic brick texture and colouring without the weight and installation complexity of real brick. Available in traditional red and contemporary grey options.
Marble Effect Panels - Natural stone appearance with veining and colour variation. Provides luxury aesthetic with practical PVC performance in wet areas.
Concrete Effect Panels - Modern industrial appearance with realistic concrete texture. Lava graphite and neutral grey options suit contemporary interiors.
3D Slat Panels - Textured surfaces that create visual depth and shadow lines. Pure white options brighten spaces while adding architectural interest.
Wood Effect Panels - Natural wood grain appearance in various timber tones. Combines wood aesthetics with PVC's moisture resistance.
Where to Use PVC Panels
Bathroom Applications - Shower walls, bath surrounds, and wet room installations. The waterproof nature prevents damage from direct water exposure during showering.
Kitchen Installations - Splashbacks, backsplashes, and wall coverage in food preparation areas. Easy to clean surfaces maintain hygiene standards with simple wiping.
Commercial Spaces - High-traffic areas requiring durable, impact-resistant surfaces. Corridors, changing rooms, and public facilities benefit from PVC's resilience.
Utility Areas - Laundry rooms, pool houses, and saunas where steam and humidity are constant concerns. PVC handles these conditions without degradation.
Basement and Cellar Walls - Areas prone to condensation and occasional moisture infiltration. PVC panels provide protective barrier against damp conditions.
Installation and Maintenance
PVC panels install using tongue-and-groove interlocking systems that click together for seamless coverage. Quality adhesive secures panels to the wall, with silicone sealing at edges and corners.
Most installations require basic DIY skills and standard tools. The lightweight panels are easy to handle and cut to size using standard saws. Precise measuring ensures proper fit around fixtures and obstacles.
Maintenance involves simple wiping with damp cloth to remove dirt and soap residue. The non-porous surface prevents staining and bacterial growth, maintaining appearance with minimal effort.
PVC panels maintain their colour and finish over time without need for repainting or refinishing. This makes them cost-effective for long-term use in demanding environments.
Panel Sizing and Coverage
Standard PVC panels typically measure 250mm wide by 2600mm high, with 8-10mm thickness depending on the specific design. This sizing covers significant wall area with minimal joints.
Calculate coverage by measuring your wall area and dividing by the panel coverage area. Add 10% extra for cutting waste and future repairs or modifications.
For complex installations with multiple corners and cutouts, consider ordering additional panels to accommodate cutting requirements. PVC cuts cleanly but waste increases with complicated layouts.
Corner trims and finishing pieces are available to complete installations professionally. These accessories ensure watertight seals and neat appearance at edges and junctions.
Colour and Design Selection
Light colours like white and pale grey work best in bathrooms and kitchens, maintaining bright, clean appearance that complements most fixtures and fittings.
Darker colours including black, navy, and brick tones suit accent walls and feature installations. These create dramatic effects while maintaining PVC's practical benefits.
Textured surfaces provide slip resistance in shower areas and add visual interest to flat wall surfaces. Consider texture when selecting panels for different applications.
Gloss levels affect maintenance - higher gloss surfaces clean more easily but may show water spots more readily. Matt finishes hide minor imperfections but may require more frequent cleaning.
