How to Choose Your Shower Wall Panels
For many, the bathroom is one of the most important rooms of the house. It’s the place you’ll find sanctuary from the stresses of life and the room you’ll invest in self-care when you most need it. This is why getting every last detail of your bathroom design right is important - so it’s a room you love every last inch of.
As well as picking the details of your bath, shower, sink and so on, you’ll probably be trying to decide on your shower wall panels. These can be quite difficult to choose, so as specialists in luxury bathroom furniture, we’re giving you a few tips on what to look out for and how to choose your new panels.
Choose your shower wall panel material
There are a few types of material you can opt for when choosing a type of shower wall panel and PVC tends to be one of the most reliable options. PVC shower wall panels are affordable, easy to clean and non-porous. They come in a wide variety of designs and patterns to compliment your chosen bathroom theme. PVC shower wall panels are also normally lighter than other shower wall panel materials (such as MDF and acrylic counterparts).
Pick your shower wall panel supplier
When trying to choose which supplier to get your choice of shower wall panel from, it’s a good idea to do some research before landing on a decision. Not only should you be thinking about the brand, their reputation and their affordability; but also doing some research into their shower wall panels, their quality and then the overall aesthetic.
For example, at JT Spas, you can be assured that we are a well-reputed supplier of affordable luxury bathroom furniture. But as well as that, our shower wall panels are made from high quality and genuine PVC, they come in various different designs and they’re developed with practical use in mind. For example, every shower wall panel has a groove and tongue which makes for easy installation and convenient use. Each panel will also be resistant to corrosion, making for a long shelf life.
Consider shower wall panel life expectancy
Whilst your potential choice of shower wall panel may be budget-friendly, will it need replacing in three years? Considering the overall quality and longevity of your options will help you save money in the long-run. For example, as mentioned above, as PVC wall panels are high quality, budget friendly and resistant to corrosion, they have a long life shelf.
Confirm your shower wall panel budget
The research you’ve undertaken so far should have given you a good understanding of different types of shower wall panel materials, designs and how much they’ll cost. At this point, you should be able to decide on a budget to work with depending on your choice of material, design and supplier.
Entire bathroom refits/refurbs can range anywhere from £1,000 to £8,000. So you’ll need to decide where your shower wall panels fit on the budget priority list.
Picking your shower wall panel design
Now it’s time for the most exciting, but sometimes difficult part of the whole process, picking your shower wall panel design. You may be fully prepared and confident in your decision, but the more indecisive among us may take a little longer to settle on a design.
Unlike a bath mat, or decorative accessory, your shower wall panels aren’t as easily switched whenever you fancy a change, so it’s a good idea to take your time here and make sure you’re fully confident with your choice.
Decide if you’d like a feature wall
Having a feature/focal wall can bring a modern twist to your bathroom’s overall feel, adding depth and versatility with different textures and shades of colour. Whether you opt for a vibrant purple sparkle, or more of a subtle white marble, this can be a great way to add a small hint of colour to your bathroom.
Pick your shower wall panel size
Shower wall panels are available in lots of different lengths and widths. So you’ll need to carefully measure your area to make sure you’re opting for the right size when putting your order in.
Pick your professional installer
We’d always recommend using a professional installer to fit your shower wall panels. This is to make sure that they’re safely installed and fit to a high standard that matches the rest of your bathroom.
Choose matching accessories
Now for the fun part. Once you’ve committed to your designs and your order is in, you can start thinking about matching accessories to fully complete the look and feel of your new bathroom!
