Wall Panels

Width and thickness

Panels come in 250mm, 400mm and 1000mm widths at 2.4m and 2.6m long. Narrow boards are easier to handle and more forgiving on an out-of-square wall; 1m boards cover the same area in fewer pieces, with fewer joints to seal. Thickness runs 5mm, 8mm and 10mm: 5mm suits a flat wall or a fit over existing tile, 8mm is the general-purpose board, and 10mm is stiff enough to go on battens or bridge an uneven wall.

Where each finish works

Marble, stone and tile effect read as a bathroom finish. Wood effect and chevron suit a bedroom or hallway feature wall. Hygienic cladding in plain white or blue is the one for a commercial kitchen or washroom. In a small room a plain colour tends to wear better over time than a strong pattern.

What else to order

Every panelled wall needs trims: internal and external corners, an edge trim where the run stops, H-section to join two boards mid-wall, and quadrant at a bath or shower tray. Add panel adhesive, or battens and pins if you are fixing to an uneven wall, plus clear silicone for anywhere wet.
