This post is part of Plyco’s Guide to Wall Panelling.
Looking for wall panelling for bathrooms? You're in the right place!
Using wall panelling in your bathroom is a terrific way to add a sense of luxury and sophistication. What's more, panelling is a waterproof alternative to tiles that can be used to revamp a bathroom much easier than completely redoing it. You’ll find that the wood wall panelling available from Plyco will look fabulous in your bathroom, and they’re available in different styles too!
In general, bathroom wall panels are a breeze to install. The panels can be easily applied to most domestic walls, with bathroom walls are no exception.
However, If you’re considering wall panelling for a commercial property, you may require a different approach. Rather than applying panels directly to stud walls with no plasterboard, cladding can be fixed to batons. For commercial bathrooms, we've found the opinion of a professional helps in decide exactly how to install your chosen bathroom wall panels.
While tiling remains a favourite for many, wood panels are increasingly popular in bathrooms. There are a few reasons why that’s the case.
Panels, especially the high-quality kind you get from Plyco, will not discolour over time. You don’t have to worry about long-term maintenance, either. While tiling attracts the buildup of grime, taking care of your bathroom wall panels is easy.
Installing wall panels is uncomplicated and much quicker than tiling. The panels are bigger than tiles, so installing them goes faster too! In most cases, you don’t need a professional tradesman either. A handyman should be able to help you get the job done quickly.
Plyco has two fantastic and beautiful wall panel options that will be perfect for your bathroom regardless of the style you need.
EasyCraft is one of Plyco’s most sought-after interior bathroom wall panels. It is different from Pinoli and Shadowclad because it’s made from medium-density fibreboard instead of plywood.
MDF is a wood product made by breaking down softwood (or hardwood) residuals into wood fibres. It is combined with a resin binder and wax, which makes it an excellent choice for areas where waterproof panels are necessary.
EasyCraft is available in three distinct options - easyLINE, easyREGENCY, and easyVJ100. Each option offers different visual and technical specs, so you can easily find the perfect style for your bathroom. More than a pretty panel, they're a fraction of the price of plywood alternative and easy to install!
Plyco’s Alkorcell is a decorative polypropylene-based film pressed onto a lightweight foam core. Designed and constructed in Germany using thermoforming techniques, Alkorcell offers a beautiful wood grain appearance. With these panels, you have a nice balance between practicality and aesthetics.
Lightweight, waterproof and stain-resistant, Alkorcell is perfect for wall panelling in caravan bathrooms. Your bathroom is sure to look stylish and classy with these panels installed, and it won’t even require too much effort.
Using specialised wood options such as EasyCraft or Alkorcell boast many benefits.
Made from high quality materials, you can expect Plyco's wall panelling to last a lifetime. Expert craftsmanship goes into the manufacture of all Plyco’s wood panels, and they’re handled with plenty of love.
Using wood panels is an environmentally-friendly option when it comes to your kitting out your bathroom. Unlike many other materials used in bathroom constructions, FSC Certified products sourced sustainable plantations offer biodegradable, natural materials that won't pollute the environment.
