THE TILE EXPERIENCE

The house I moved into had three off-white tiles above the family bathroom sink. They are functional but look out of place, aren’t level, and the grout probably wasn’t yellow to start with.

My first efforts tiling were a messy disaster, and I loathed the idea of re-tiling these three, so I started looking for an alternative. Bathroom Panels seemed like a simple and cost-effective solution to tile mess going on in my bathroom. I guess that’s one of the reasons why lots of people are now looking at bathroom sink splashbacks instead of tiles?

Here’s what I know so far about tiles: The prices are going up, they require a lot of messy work to put up that’s time-consuming, and the grout can make the cleanest bathroom look dirty whereas, uPVC wall panels and splashbacks can look just as good! They are cheaper to purchase and fix, easy to install and simple to clean. Add some chrome edging paired with the latest designs, plastic splashbacks a clear winner in my opinion and the only question is why stop at the splashback?

At these prices, you can bring flair to your entire bathroom quickly and easily.

WHY PANELS?

When it comes to re-creating your bathroom, conventionally, tiles have always been the first stop. Of course, they are waterproof, durable and come in a wide range of textures and patterns to choose from. But there is no denying that tiles often come with hands-on upkeep and a lengthy installation process.

So, if that doesn’t sound appealing, then bathroom panels are your perfect alternative, you can get your ideal bathroom with all the added benefits.

Bathroom panels are not only, quicker and more cost-effective but also give you a first class finish every time.

WHAT IS A BATHROOM SPLASHBACK?

Bathroom splashback is uPVC cladding, made from acrylic sheets, that come in a variety of thicknesses and sizes from, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm and can be custom cut to fit your bathroom. They also come in a variety of patterns from wood, brick, sparkle, tile effect, and marble effect. They are the perfect fix for a cost-effective polished bathroom.

These panels are surely renovating the world of bathrooms.

Essentially, splashbacks are a large sheet of uPVC material that covers an area of your bathroom, protecting it from heat and water damage (and the splashes and waves that come with bath time) whilst adding a touch of flair to your bathroom.

WHY PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING BATHROOM SPLASHBACK INSTEAD OF TILES:

Bathroom panels are not only efficient but come with a list of other benefits – making them the ideal fit for everyone!

The installation process is smooth and speedy (saving your contractors valuable time and saving you money), so they are extremely cost-effective.

One of the many problems that come with tiles is grout; grout is non-existent when it comes to splashback panels. Just apply the panels to your chosen wall with their unique tongue and groove system, and you will get that premium finish without the hassle!

They are the perfect mission for an avid DIYer. With just some adhesive, nails and screws you can give your bathroom a facelift with a flawless finish. So why not give them a go?

They are easy to upkeep, making them a necessity for families and busy households. Get that luxurious and stylish bathroom feel with fuss-free and minimum maintenance.

Using wall cladding to create the perfect splashback is functional in more ways than one. Bathroom wall cladding provides heat insulation for your bathroom. In between the acrylic sheets of the panels, there are hollow shafts ranging from 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm. These shafts trap the heat and slow the conduction process, providing lasting insulation for your home and helping to protect your walls from condensation and prevent mould developing. They are extremely practical and are widely used as a way to spruce up an ensuite or small bathroom, you can have your panels fitted comfortably and securely in just an afternoon.
