Shower Panels vs Tiles
Leave a CommentThe Full Guide to Panels vs Tiles In The Bathroom
When designing and installing a new bathroom, the first thought used to be ceramic tiles.
However, things are changing when it comes to bathrooms and the availability of different products, and shower panels are fast becoming the way to go.
Tiles
Ceramic tiles are the traditional way to waterproof and finish a bathroom. However, the main problem with tiled bathrooms is the leaks that are caused mainly by poor grouting. Although a leak may be apparent, they are often very difficult to locate.
Waterproof Board
One type of board on the market are laminated boards with MDF or Polyfoam backing or core. They come in standard sheet sizes, usually 2400 x 1200. They are a waterproof solution for shower areas. However, problems can happen if water penetrates the waterproof laminated surfaces and causes the backing to swell or ‘blow’ with water damage. They are also limited when it comes to sizes, with only standard sizes available and limited colour choice.
Stone Resin Shower Panels From Versital
Another type of waterproof panel that is growing in popularity across the market are stone resin shower panels from the likes of Versital. Stain resistant, easy to fit and beautiful high quality finishes.
