Shower Cubicle PanelOne of the most common uses our waterproof wall panelling is to line the inside walls of a shower cubicle. Many people have had to put up with ceramic wall tiles in their cubicle that start to show their age after a while with the grout turning mouldy and the whole cubicle starting to look shabby. Even worse, in some cases the grout fails completely resulting in water damage to the walls, tiles falling off and even leaks appearing on lower floor ceilings. One of the main advantages of using waterproof wall panelling in your shower cubicle in place of ceramic wall tiles is that there is no grout at all - the panels simply slot together using a tongue and groove system. The following pictures show the refurbishment of a shower cubicle taken by one of our customers, Mr Walters of Broxbourne, using Decos Orion Laguna panels.
The walls around the cubicle area have been lined with plasterboard and a gap left into which the shower tray will be slid. Once in place, the wall panels are fitted to the shower cubicle walls in this case utilising Decos Corner Trims and also Decos Capping Trim to finish the cut ends that protrude slightly past the cubicle frame. There is no trim used where the panelling meets the shower tray. We recommend sealing the shower tray to the existing wall surface before the panels are fitted using silicone sealant. By smearing the silicone up the wall slightly you get a "skirt" of silicone running around the tray over which you then fit the panels. Silicone sealant is ten applied around the cubicle where the panels meet the shower tray, effectively giving you two seals. Should the front seal ever fail the water cannot cause any damage as it cannot get past the second seal behind the cladding. If yu are lloking to install panelling in your shower cubicle then we have over 50 colours to choose, including marble effects, woodgrain effects, tile effects and mosaic effects as well as quite a few white panels - suitable for use on bathroom or shower ceilings. ALL OF OUR PANELS ARE SUITABLE FOR USE IN SHOWER ROOM OR SHOWER CUBICLE
