Picking the Perfect Panels for Your Home

Traditionally wet rooms are damp, clinical-looking places with horrible, bumpy grey or white titles that tend to be a breeding ground for mould and mildew. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Thanks to some clever developments in plastic panelling you no longer have to have a bland design.

Here’s how to pick the perfect panels to turn your boring old wet room into a sleek and modern area with an aesthetic beauty that could never before be imagined:

Picking Panels

There are a huge variety of designs out there aimed to give you a much nicer look to your wet room. From black granite to ivory marble, you can give yourself the luxury appeal that high end hotels and mansions have, without the extortionate cost associated with this type of material.

By using ersatz granite you can emulate a high quality build which will be greatly appreciated and let you spend your budget on big ticket items like the bath, sink and toilet. It is important to pick your panelling based on what type of theme you are going for. For example, if you want a natural look to your bathroom then mock-wood wall panelling combined with black diamond stone ceiling panels can make you feel as though you’re in a cabin under the stars.

Why Use Panels over Tiles?

One of the best reasons to use Geo-panels over tiles is that they overlap to create a water-tight seal, meaning that you don’t need to worry about cracked grouting leading to a much wider range of problems. Simple install the base seal and all the trims and slot all the panels tightly together and add a sealant and you’re done.

These panels are much quicker to install and can provide a much more secure seal for a much longer time. Due to their simplicity they are also much easier to maintain and manage, meaning that you won’t have to constantly re-grout or scrub mildew out of the gaps between tiles. There is also a much wider range of patterns available, letting you be more creative with how your wet room looks.

Use Around the Home

Panels shouldn’t just be confined to the bathroom, in fact there are uses for them all over the home! One of the most common places to see them is in the kitchen, especially around the hob as they are much easier to clean after being splashed with grease and general mess when cooking.

Installing panelling in hallways or the backs of storage cupboards is a great way to prevent scuff marks from shoes or other things bashing against the wall. Due to the easy wipe down of marks, scuffs and scrapes this can help to preserve your wall and keep your home looking lovely for as long as possible. This is also a great addition to children’s bedrooms, especially if you have mini-artists who like to colour all over the walls – plastic panelling can easily be wipes down with a wet cloth, saving you hours of hassle as your little ones grow up!
