Waterproof Slat Wall

Waterproof Slat Wall for Bathrooms, Kitchens, and Wet Rooms

Unlike standard wall finishes, waterproof slat wall panels are built to perform in high-moisture environments. Steam, splashes, and condensation won’t cause swelling or peeling, making them reliable for everyday use in bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. The PVC core is fully water-resistant, while the slatted surface adds the same decorative depth seen in living room or office designs.

In bathrooms, waterproof slat panelling provides a grout-free alternative to tiles, suitable for shower enclosures, feature walls, or around sinks where constant contact with water would damage paint or wallpaper. Kitchens benefit from wipe-clean surfaces behind hobs and preparation areas, while utility rooms gain a durable wall covering that holds up against daily humidity.

The range includes 300mm premium boards, which minimise joins across larger shower walls, and slimmer Sulcado formats create finer detailing that works well around sinks, showers, or splashbacks. Finishes extend from oak, walnut, and ash for a natural effect, to modern greys, charcoal, white, and metallics for sharper contrasts or statement backdrops.

Free samples are available across the waterproof collection, so you can see how each tone, texture, and finish looks under your own bathroom or kitchen lighting before placing a full order.

Why Waterproof Slat Wall Panels Outperform Tiles and Paint

Bathrooms and kitchens are some of the toughest spaces to keep looking clean. Grout lines in tiles attract mould, painted walls bubble with condensation, and timber cladding warps when exposed to daily humidity. Waterproof slat wall panels avoid all of these issues, giving a dimensional finish that holds up in constant moisture without extra sealing or upkeep.

Each board is made with a PVC core that won’t absorb water, so there’s no risk of swelling around showers, sinks, or hobs. The wipe-clean surface keeps high-contact areas hygienic, while the slatted face provides depth and texture that flat bathroom cladding can’t match.

At the same time, slatted panelling provides a stronger design impact than flat alternatives. The profile adds visual depth, giving wet rooms, en-suites, or kitchen backsplashes the same premium look seen in living spaces, but with full resistance to moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can waterproof slat wall panels be used inside a shower enclosure?

Yes. The PVC core and watertight joints mean panels can be fitted directly in shower enclosures. Just ensure trims and sealant are applied correctly for full waterproofing.

Do waterproof panels need extra sealing or treatment?

No. Unlike timber cladding, waterproof slat panels are moisture-resistant as supplied. Edges and joins should be sealed with trims and silicone to maintain a watertight finish.

How do waterproof slat panels compare to shower panels?

Shower panels provide smooth, full-surface coverage, while waterproof slats introduce depth and texture. Many customers use shower panels in cubicles and waterproof slat panels as a feature in the same bathroom for contrast.

Are waterproof slat panels only for bathrooms?

No. They’re equally effective in kitchens, utility rooms, and boot rooms where steam, splashes, or humidity are a problem. For living rooms or bedrooms, our acoustic or standard slat wall may be more suitable.

Can I match waterproof slat walls with other finishes in my home?

Yes. Customers often combine them with cork wall panels for warmth, fabric panels in bedrooms for softness, or external slat panels to continue the effect outdoors.

How should waterproof slat walls be cleaned?

They only need wiping with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals to protect the surface finish.
