Using Waterproof Wall Panels to Make a Wonderful House

Bathroom wall panels are water proof wall panels which are generally manufactured using thermoplastics, better known as UPVC, although some panels may be manufactured from Medite exterior grade medium density fiberboard, which is more commonly known as MDF. This MDF board is then covered on the outer face with a high pressure laminate, and a balancing laminate is applied to the back to prevent distortion of the panel, this also improves the waterproof qualities of the panel.

Now most of the UPVC bathroom wall panels are manufactured with two outer walls and a honeycombed interior, which is necessary for good rigidity and keeping the panel flat. They are joined together using a tongue and groove system, depending on the style of waterproof wall panels, and this ensures each panel is locked together, thus making a more watertight and rigid joint. The joint between the panels can then be made more secure by applying a bead of silicone, and this is recommended particularly if a power shower or high pressure shower is installed.

Because the wall panels are manufactured using either UPVC or Laminated MDF, they are very easy to keep clean, and whilst they are extremely resistant to most chemical cleaners such as bleach products, it is recommended and indeed only necessary to use a wet soapy soft cloth, as this will be sufficient for most cleaning requirements.

All bathroom wall panels are totally waterproof are very hygienic and make a great alternative to the more conventional wall tiles, which are prone to certain strains of fungi particularly on the tiles grouting, which can produce a mouldy appearance.

They are available in many different styles of moisture-proof wall panels with different colors, which will suit any bathroom improvement requirements, and some of these styles can include:

• Wood grain effect
• Marble effect
• Mosaic effect
• Plain colors

Moreover, these wall panels can also be complimented with ceiling panels, and help to give that extra finished look.
