Shower Panels
The perfect shower wall begins with the right panel. This 10mm PVC collection was made with British properties and DIY'ers in mind. Our waterproof shower panels install cleanly in hours, not days. With a new watertight interlocking joint system, each 2.4m tall aqua panel creates a smooth, continuous surface around your shower. Eliminating water ingresses with their solid, single-piece board construction for a totally waterproof barrier.
Tongue and Groove Joint System
We use a tongue-and-groove joint system to connect our shower panelling sheets. Wet wall shower panels are moulded with a tongue on one end, and a groove on the other, allowing the edges to connect precisely with following shower boards. With a thin line of adhesive, this creates joints that remain watertight without deteriorating.
Unlike traditional tiling, our plastic shower panels do not require resealing or difficult ongoing maintenance. No grout lines that inevitably darken, requiring frequent scrubbing and eventual resealing to prevent water penetration into the substrate.
These panels sit within our broader collection of wall panels, but are specifically engineered for high-moisture environments where waterproofing is critical.
Installation Process
Installing aqua panels typically requires a day. These PVC shower panels cut cleanly with standard tools, fitting precisely around fixtures and outlets. Many customers find our shower board suitable for direct application over existing wall tiles, avoiding costly and messy demolition work.
Our complete shower panel system includes all necessary fixings and trim pieces for professional installation. The lightweight construction makes handling easier than traditional ceramic tiles, while the larger panel size means fewer joints to seal.
Most DIY enthusiasts can complete a standard shower enclosure in 4-6 hours, compared to multi-day tiling projects. The panels fix directly to walls using adhesive and mechanical fixings for secure, long-term performance.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your shower walls are among the most chemically and environmentally stressed areas in your home. The constant exposure to intense moisture, heat and a concentrated mix of chemicals from personal care and cleaning products accelerates wear, promotes buildup and increases the risk of mould and residue accumulation.
Instead of absorbing all of this damage like traditional tiles with porous surfaces, our shower boards bounce it off. The surface is impermeable to moisture, mould, residue and dust. Simply wipe down with a damp cloth or use a shower blade to remove moisture and water spots.
Your shower gel, body wash and shampoo won't present any challenges for our modern shower panels. Our matte finish shower panels are particularly good at hiding mineral deposits and dry water spots, caused by residue in hard water.
Material and Construction
The composition - a dense PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) core with a stabilised finish layer and protective coating - resists impacts that would crack ceramic tiles and remains unaffected by cleaning products that gradually erode grout, making our shower panels the smart choice for British homes.
The finish maintains a consistent appearance, resisting yellowing or degradation. We are confident in the manufacturing technique, it produces remarkably authentic visual effects, from subtle veining of marble shower panels, to the geometry of tile effect shower panels - all without the potential drawbacks of the materials they reference.
The 10mm thickness provides excellent rigidity while remaining lightweight enough for straightforward installation. The solid construction eliminates the hollow sound sometimes associated with thinner plastic panels.
Panel Styles and Finishes
From budget-friendly options to premium finishes, our shower panelling range offers solutions for every project requirement whilst maintaining the waterproof integrity essential for shower walls.
Our collection includes marble effects, stone textures, tile patterns, and contemporary solid colours. Each finish is designed to provide authentic appearance while delivering the practical benefits of PVC construction.
Matte finishes work particularly well in hard water areas, while gloss surfaces create a more luxurious spa-like appearance. All finishes resist staining and maintain their appearance under normal shower conditions.
Cost-Effective Shower Solutions
Our affordable shower panels don't compromise on quality - each aqua panel undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure waterproof performance. The shower panel system provides cost-effective renovation solutions compared to traditional tiling, with installation typically completed in hours rather than days.
The combination of lower material costs, faster installation, and reduced maintenance requirements makes shower panelling an economical choice for bathroom renovations. Labour costs are significantly lower than equivalent tiling projects.
Shower panels offer a winning combination of design flexibility, durability, and affordability. Crafted from high-quality polyvinyl chloride, these panels provide a watertight seal that prevents mould and mildew growth, while their interlocking tongue-and-groove edges ensure a seamless, sleek appearance.
