Why You Need Shower Panels

Shower wall panels offer a practical solution to modern bathroom needs. Not only do they add an aesthetically pleasing touch, but they also provide a great way to keep your shower area clean and hygienic by not giving you a wet room prone to mould and mildew.

They are also low maintenance; you can simply wipe them down with a cloth or mild detergent and water. Shower panels can also help conserve water by reducing splash-back, as well as provide a temperature-controlled shower environment.

By installing a shower panel, you can enjoy the perfect balance between style and practicality for your bathroom.

Important Factors To Consider Before Buying

Buying a shower panel requires careful consideration of a few factors before making the final purchase. There are several elements to consider, such as size, shape and material. Take a look at some of the key factors to consider before making your decision:

Size

The size of your shower panel will depend on the available space in your bathroom. Make sure to measure the area so that you can find the right fit for your shower enclosure.

When selecting the size of your new panel, it is essential to factor in any other items or furniture near the wall where you will be installing. Considering these elements beforehand can ensure that you are purchasing the correct size for your bathroom.

Glass Type

When selecting a shower panel, it is vital to consider the kind of glass that would be optimal for your restroom. Tempered and laminate panels are popular selections since they can resist shattering while still providing heightened transparency.

These types of glasses provide more protection from accidental breakage or damage than standard glass. It is also important to look for glass that has been treated with a special coating to protect against stains, scratches and fogging.

There are also completely waterproof shower panels available, which have an added layer of protection against water and moisture.

Material

The material of your shower panel will determine its durability and appearance. Some of the most popular materials used for panels include stainless steel and acrylic. Each material comes with its advantages, so you should consider which one would best suit your bathroom’s style and needs.

You may also find PVC shower panels available, which are more cost-effective and lightweight. However, they must also be treated regularly with a vinyl cleaner to keep them looking new for longer.

Positioning

Careful and precise placement of your shower panel is paramount for a successful installation. It's sensible to plan the optimal spot based on both your individual height as well as where you want the bath or shower tray situated in relation to it.

You should also take into account any existing fixtures or pipes near the area where you will be installing the panel. This will help ensure that everything is properly connected and that you have the optimum layout for your shower space and shower tiles.

Finish

The finish of bathroom wall panels can really make a difference to the overall look and feel of your bathroom. There is a wide range of finishes available, ranging from brushed metal to polished chrome, brass and more.

Choose a finish that complements your existing fixtures and is easy to clean, which will help maintain its attractive appearance for longer.

Installation

It is important to check that the installation process is straightforward and achievable. Many shower panels come with installation instructions, but if you are unsure, it may be best to hire a professional installer to help with the job.

Additionally, if you are fitting against existing tiles, you may need to buy a special fitting kit, which usually includes other items specifically designed for this type of installation. If you have ceramic tiles, you may need to purchase a specialised diamond drill bit to ensure a safe and secure fit.

Types Of Shower Wall Panels

Stylish and traditional shower panels are now available in a range of sizes, types and materials to suit any bathroom design. From sleek modern designs to traditional panels with classic detailing, there is something for everyone. Popular types include the following:

Fixed Panel

Fixed panels are an ideal choice for your small bathroom renovation as they offer a simple, stylish and space-saving solution.

They come in various sizes and materials, such as tempered glass or acrylic, and are designed to be mounted on the wall. Fixed panels can be left open or closed depending on your preferences and provide a sleek, minimalist look.

Corner Panel

Corner shower walls are an ideal option for bathrooms with limited space, allowing you to fit a panel into a corner of the room. If you have a bathroom or shower tray already in place, you can attach the corner panel directly to it, while a separate wall-mounted version is also available.

Sliding Door

Add visual interest and maximize your bathroom space with a sliding door shower panel! Enjoy the convenience of two doors that smoothly glide on an integrated track along one side.

Ideal for bathrooms lacking in square footage, its sophisticated design adds flair to any room while providing effortless access.

Folding Panel

Adding a folding shower panel to your bathroom is an ideal way to add extra privacy and coverage.

These panels are designed for easy use - simply fold them into the wall when you're done, or open them up whenever it's time for a relaxing shower. With this simple solution, you can customize your bathroom experience with ease.

Walk-In Panel

If you want something a bit more luxurious, then a walk-in shower panel could be a perfect choice. This panel type is designed to fit into an alcove or recess in your bathroom and comes with two open sides and a partition between them.

When To Consult A Professional For Installation

Installing shower panels by yourself can often be a difficult or time-consuming task. However, a DIY can be done if you have the right tools and know-how.

All you need to learn is the correct measurements for your bathroom, how to measure and fit the panels, as well as which type of fixings to use. But, when in doubt, always consult a professional installer to get the job done safely and efficiently.

If you are unsure about any aspect of installing a shower panel, it is highly recommended that you seek the help of a professional installer or tiling specialist to ensure the job is done correctly. This will help guarantee your safety, as well as the quality and longevity of your new shower panels.
