Solid Shower Panels

Solid Shower Panels in Marble, Stone, and Concrete Finishes

Our solid shower wall panels are built for impact, with a dense core and detailed finishes that transform bathroom spaces. Marble-effect options range from soft grey veining to brighter white and bold Carrera designs, giving a classic look without the upkeep of natural stone.

Stone-effect panels include concrete, travertine, and darker graphite tones for a modern edge. These finishes replicate the texture of real materials while delivering the waterproof reliability of PVC. At 1.2 m wide, each board spans more wall space with fewer joins, creating a clean, uninterrupted surface across larger enclosures.

The added thickness makes panels sturdier during installation and less prone to flexing once in place. Scratch-resistant surfaces and solid-core construction extend their lifespan, even in busy family bathrooms. Free samples are available so you can compare colours and finishes in natural light before choosing.

Why Choose Solid Core Shower Panels?

Solid core shower panels are manufactured with a denser composition than standard hollow boards, giving them a heavier feel and a sturdier installation. This extra weight means they sit firmly against the wall, resisting flex and movement over time, a key advantage in busy family bathrooms or shared en-suites where walls are exposed to constant moisture and impact.

The 1.2 m width covers more wall area per board, which not only speeds up installation but also reduces the number of vertical joins across the enclosure. Fewer joins mean fewer potential weak points, helping to maintain a watertight seal and cleaner overall finish.

These panels can be applied directly over existing tiles using a high-strength adhesive, cutting down preparation work and avoiding the mess of full tile removal. The tongue-and-groove system allows each board to lock securely in place, giving a neat, continuous wall covering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes solid shower panels different from standard PVC boards?

Solid shower panels use a dense, rigid core that adds extra weight and strength compared to hollow PVC designs. This makes them more stable once fitted, with less chance of flexing, which is especially useful in high-use bathrooms and larger enclosures.

Are solid shower wall panels fully waterproof?

Yes. Solid core panels are made from waterproof PVC and are designed for shower enclosures, wet rooms, and other moisture-heavy areas. When sealed correctly with trims and adhesive, they provide a watertight finish that’s long-lasting and reliable.

Can solid core panels be fitted over tiles?

They can be installed directly over existing tiles, provided the surface is flat and secure. This avoids the mess and disruption of stripping old walls, making them a quicker option for renovations. Adhesives are available in our trims and accessories section to ensure panels bond securely.

How heavy are solid shower panels compared to regular ones?

They are noticeably heavier than hollow PVC panels due to the solid core. This means they require careful handling, and we recommend two people for lifting and positioning 1.2 m boards. The added weight, however, results in a more robust wall covering once installed.

How do I clean and maintain solid shower panels?

Solid shower panels are low-maintenance. A soft cloth with warm soapy water is all that’s needed to remove residue or soap marks. Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh cleaners, as they may scratch the finish. For step-by-step tips, see our guide on cleaning PVC shower panels.
