Why Homeowners Choose Waterproof Bathroom Wall Panels
While it’s always been the standard, more Canadians now want a more hassle-free choice. Waterproof Bathroom Wall Panels offer a few benefits that can help mitigate some of the more common irritants:
- Grout-free walls that have significantly less surface where mold can begin growing.
- Quick installation, sometimes in two days or less
- Easily wiped down and no annual resealing required
- Could be installed over existing tile in many cases
Canadian homes are another reason. The windows are closed for longer, more extended winters, and the bathrooms still contain steam for a longer period. That steam is managed by panels without swelling, peeling, or staining.
Style matters too. Modern panels mimic marble, stone, and textured patterns for large, uninterrupted surfaces. You don’t have to deal with busy grout patterns that cut into the wall and compromise the finish, and you won’t need to pay for a high-end finish either.
Types of Waterproof Bathroom Wall Panels
There are not all panels that fit all walls. There are four types that you can use in your bathroom, which are supplied by Glossy Decors.
- PVC panels: Lightweight and inexpensive, suitable for vanity walls, guest baths, and basements.
- SPC panels: High-density stone composite panels designed for tub and shower surrounds.
- UV marble panels: Glossy, marble-look feature wall and vanity backdrops.
- WPC panels: Lightly splashed or dry walls are best for a warm wood-tone finish.
Our PVC Bathroom Wall Panels provide you with the lowest entry price without sacrificing waterproofing. Our SPC Shower Wall Panels are designed for the most active showering. First, attach the panel to the wall and then select the finish that you like.
Buying Guide: 7 Things to Check Before You Pay
This is a checklist you can use for any Waterproof Bathroom Wall Panels you’re considering. If you are looking for answers to all your bathroom-related queries, you can rely on the Bathroom Waterproof Panels.
- Core material. As a question, ask what is in the panel. PVC and SPC cores don’t absorb water. Even if it is covered by a coating, wood-based cores can swell.
- Thickness. Bigger panels are less prone to warping and will be more “rigid” on the wall.
- Surface finish. A UV-cured finish has a longer lifespan of retention against fading and lasts longer with regard to its glow.
- Joint system. The seams are tightly closed with click locks or sealed. The faces of the panels are not as important as the tightness of the joints.
- Trims and corners. Matching trims join edges and corners – where leaks most often occur.
- Spec sheet. A reliable supplier provides a spec sheet and clarifies the wet zone suitability.
- Installation and guarantee. Inquire about the installation company and the guarantee.
If a supplier responds to all seven, they have made their mark.
DIY or Professional Installation?
Small Panel Wall installation is something that a few homeowners do themselves. The least complicated case is a “flat” drywall, where light PVC sheets are installed. They’re harder to show, as every corner and joint needs to be properly sealed. A single gap will allow water to seep behind the wall.
Professional installers come with the proper tools, adhesives, and trims. They additionally provide a guarantee to back their work. If you’re using a shower or bath, it’s worth that protection.
Buying Local in Calgary vs. Ordering Online
There are lots of Waterproof Bathroom Wall Panels offered online, but there’s no way to display real color on a screen. A local supplier gives you insight into the finish in your own light. Helping you to measure, tips on installation, and even post-sale support, too.
Make sure to see the supplier’s Google Business Profile before making any commitments. Check for an actual address, regular business hours, up-to-date pictures, and reviews. Those pieces of information indicate that a business cares about its work. The address of Glossy Decors is 4016 4 St SE, Calgary.
