Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

What are Wet Wall Panels?

Bathroom Wall Panels or Wet Wall Panels are a cost-effective alternative to tiles. There is no need to grout to fit panels and there is very little maintenance involved unlike tiles. They are non-porous, hygienic and mould free. They can be made from High Impact PVC, Acrylic or Plywood. At Wet Walls & Ceilings we only sell quality High Impact PVC wet wall panels that are 100% waterproof and Class 1 Fire-rated suitable for both commercial and domestic use.

Can Wet Wall Panels be used in the Shower?

Yes. Our 1m wide panels are ideal for use with showers. They can be fitted inside an existing shower cubicle or around the shower area of a bath. Check out our Shower Wall Panel Kits from £159.

How do you cut Wet Wall Panels?

Our Bathroom Wall Panels can be cut using any fine toothed bladed saw. For an accurate and neat finish use a Tenon Saw, although you can also use a handsaw. If you are cutting curved or detailed areas then a Jigsaw would be the saw of choice and for cutting circular apertures for light fittings, pipes etc. use a Hole Saw.

Can Wet Wall Panels be installed over existing tiled walls?

Yes, our bathroom wall panels can be installed over existing tiled walls by using Silicone Sealant instead of Panel Adhesive to fit them. Make sure there are no loose tiles and that there is enough clearance behind bath and basic taps to cope with the extra thickness.

Will Wet Wall Panels help with Condensation?

Yes, but it will not eliminate condensation. Bathroom panels are warm to the touch so condensation will not form helping to reduce the amount, however the only guaranteed way to eliminate condensation is proper ventilation. You can either use an extractor fan or use a dehumidifier. If some condensation does still occur, at least there is no grouting where mould growth can penetrate and cause unpleasant discolouration.

Can Wet Wall Panels be used in the Kitchen?

Yes. Many people do fit our wall panels in Kitchens, but care needs to be taken when installing the panels near sources of direct heat such as open hobs and ovens. In this area you should use tiles, a stainless steel panel or Acrylic/Glass splashback.

How do you fit Wet Wall Panels to the wall?

Using Panel Adhesive and/or Silicone Sealant on the back of the panels to fix to the surface, they join together using a tongue and groove system that provides a seamless finish with tight, almost invisible joins. You can also use the hidden lip on the tongue & groove to screw the panels to the wall.

Can I fit Wet Wall Panels to the Ceiling?

There are two ways in which you can fit the wall panels to the ceiling. First of all, you can use the hidden lip on the tongue & groove to screw or staple your panels to the upper batons. Or secondly, you can glue them using panel adhesive. Allow the first panel set and then just click and glue the next panel in. Carry on with that routine until complete.

Can I fit Wet Wall Panels myself?

Yes, if you have decent DIY skills, it is possible to fit Wetwall yourself. However, you need to be completely confident with what you are doing and the product before you start the installation.

You only need normal woodworking tools and your Wetwall order will be delivered with fixing guidelines.

Alternatively, we may be able to give you details of a number of experienced installers - however, we are not responsible for any discussions or agreements between the customer and a third party installer. Please call one of our stores for details of local tradesmen in your area.

When would you use an Edging Profile?

Edging profiles are used to finish off the end edge of a panel, i.e. a three-sided shower wall kit. Also, if the panelling along a bathroom wall ended half way along, the end edge would need finishing off with an edging profile. This profile is designed to fit over either the fixing lip detail or on to square cut board. Check out our wide range of trims.
