ADVANTAGES OF PANELLING OVER TILES
- Bathroom or Shower panelling is easy to fit. This cuts down on labour time and cost if you hire somebody to fit for you.
- In a majority of cases, you can fit over your existing tiles or wall surface saving time and money taking away your old wall covering. We would recommend you check the installation guide for tips on your individual installation.
- There is no grout required in between panels. This means it is easier to clean and no risk of mould forming, a common problem with tile grout.
- Bathroom panelling is low maintenance yet long-lasting. Coming with a warranty of between 5 and 15 years if correctly fitted.
- The panels also provide additional insulation due to their thickness.
