BATHROOM WALL FINISH GUIDE
Bathroom Tiles or Wall Panels: What Should You Choose?
Tiles offer almost endless patterns and sizes. Wall panels cover more area with fewer joints. Both can create a strong, practical bathroom when the background and joints are fitted properly.

WHAT TO THINK ABOUT
Choose Tiles When the Pattern and Material Matter Most
Tiles work well across full rooms, floors and detailed feature areas. The final look depends on the set-out, cuts and grout colour as well as the tile itself.
- Wide choice of size, texture and pattern
- Can continue from walls onto the floor
- More joints to grout and maintain
YOUR OPTIONS
Choose Panels for Broad Surfaces With Fewer Breaks
Panels can cover a shower quickly and create a large stone, marble or plain effect. Product quality, edge trims and sealed joints are important to the finished result.
- Fewer joints in the shower area
- Large continuous pattern
- Edges and corners need the correct trims or joint system
QUESTIONS ABOUT TILES OR WALL PANELS?
Clear Answers Before You Choose
If your room or situation is different, ask about it during a home or showroom appointment.
Ask about your bathroom ↗Can I mix tiles and panels?+
Yes. For example, panels can cover the shower while tiles or paint finish the rest of the room.
Which lasts longer?+
A good product fitted onto a suitable background can last well in either form. Water getting behind a poorly fitted finish causes the bigger problem.
Which is cheaper?+
There is no fixed answer. Product cost, area, preparation and fitting time all affect the total.
