What Wall Panels Do I Use When?
Although wall panels are often multi-use, there are some types of panel that are better suited to different applications around a property.
PVC Wall Panels
As the name suggests, PVC wall panels are great when used in an environment where moisture is present, and they’re also incredibly low maintenance – can be wiped down to revert back to their stain-free original state.
They’re waterproof and available on our site in a wide variety of colours, meaning customisation is more of an option in the areas of the home you’ll spend more time in. They're far easier to fit than working with tiles and they can even be fitted on top of existing tiles, making them perfect for use as bathroom or kitchen wall panels.
Ceiling Panels
Ceiling panels are becoming an increasingly popular option nowadays. It’s a sure-fire way to add a new touch to an otherwise plain area of your home. They’re the perfect addition to cover up unsightly ceilings and are a great paring with LED lights.
They also come in a range of lengths, from 2.7 metre to long 4 and 5 metre panels, to fit onto any size ceiling.
Laminate Panels
Laminate wall panels are larger and thicker than most other types of wall panels and are commonly used as shower panels thanks to their easy-to-clean nature and the wide variety of beautiful designs available. They're also completely waterproof and are backed by a 30-year guarantee.
Acrylic Panels
Another type of wall panel that is commonly used in bathrooms and showers is acrylic wall panels, which are only 4mm thick and therefore are extremely lightweight. They provide a glassy finish to any wall and are available in a range of printed and patterned designs.
Slatwall Panels
Slatwall panels are becoming very popular in modern homes and workplaces. Acoustic wall panels that feature the slatted style can be used in offices or lounges to create a feature wall and absorb sound. Decorative wood panels are also available and can be used in bathrooms and showers due to their waterproofing properties.
Food Grade PVC Cladding
Food grade cladding sheets are stiff, 2.5mm thick UV stable sheets. These are floor-to-ceiling sheers and are ideal in medical or catering scenarios. They’re so suitable for this because they meet all of the foo grade standards, which means they can be used in such a wide range of applications.
General Use Foamed PVC
General use cladding is a foamed sheet of varying thickness – from 3mm to 10mm. This is, as the name suggests, a general-use, easy-to-clean sheet that can be used in many situations.
Antimicrobial PVC
Antimicrobial cladding utilises Silver Ion technology which is effective at inhibiting bacteria growth. It has been tested to reduce microbes by 99.9% in just two hours – it acts in just minutes and lasts a lifetime.
Due to this, it is particularly appropriate for use in education, pharmaceutical, hospitality, housing, sports & leisure and healthcare environments.
