Luxury Bathrooms are full of amazing design, quality product and high end concepts, they look stunning and spark the imagination, but the secret of marrying luxury with perfection is making sure that every incredible item is not only eye-catching but immensely practical and easy to maintain. What is the point in having the best and not being able to enjoy it? No product on the bathroom market today embodies this idea better than waterproof paneling.

Shower boarding, as it is also known, has revolutionised waterproofing in the bathroom. Originally developed with function in mind the paneling was created for use in large open areas like changing rooms and hospitals where hygiene and ease of maintenance are paramount. As with all great ideas people began wanting to use this fantastic product in their own home. So with demand came supply and manufacturers started to come up with more attractive coloured boards for use on the domestic market, the concept took off and now around 80 waterproof idea and expanded the possibilities and designs in exponential ways. The huge ranges of colours, designs and styles available means that any look is possible. Stone-effects, metal-effects, bold colours and even tile-effect boards allow the system to be used in any bathroom to complement any look. Working exceptionally well in quadrant showers, wall boards can be used in existing bathrooms to create exciting new areas; the striking Black Slate Wall Board behind a chrome and glass enclosure sends ripples of modernity through any bathroom. The versatile system can also be used to stunning effect in large amounts, providing a seamless wall covering in an entire room thanks to the interlocking edges; a full room of Milano Marble produces a warm sanctuary of stone that works perfectly in any style of home. 

Once your new shower paneling has been installed it is just the beginning of how it will improve your bathroom. The no-fuss boards mean that cleaning and upkeep is kept to a minimum, a quick wipe down after use and your shower area will remain pristine long after fitting. Unlike tiles there are no grout lines to scrub, no danger of degradation over time and a 15 year guarantee as standard. Most plumbers and bathroom fitters find these type of wall systems much easier and less time consuming to fit. Available in a variety of standard shower enclosure sizes and with fitting kits to help, adding a corner wall board system should not be out of reach of any keen DIY-er.

Perfect also for those with guest houses wishing for an easy clean, hygienic water proof wall covering to swiftly fit into an en-suite situation.

As well as saving you time, opting for wall boards can also save money as every installation is a complete investment. The easy fix system can go over almost any surface, including existing tiles, helping to reduce the labour cost of any new installation.

The very nature of wall board is to merge the dramatic with the functional, the traditional with the efficient and the bold with the hygienic.  It does everything you need whilst constantly looking sensational!
