Reasons to Purchase Bathroom Cladding | Wall & Ceiling Panels

There are fantastic alternatives to traditional tiling in the form of cladding. Here to explain why you should entertain the idea of using cladding & its many benefits, is The Cladding Store. 

Why You Should Install PVC Wall Panel Cladding In Your Bathroom

Homeowners are constantly seeking new and innovative ways in which to improve the aesthetics which are enjoyed by both them and their guests. Although it may seem like a rather trivial thing. Installing cladding is one of the best ways in which to go about achieving top-tier change. We have

Cladding is inexpensive

If your existing ceramic tiles are starting to date, PVC panels can be a lot cheaper in the long run & offer a simple way to create a tile or brick effect on walls throughout your home - or even commercial premises.

Bathroom cladding is quick to install, cheap to purchase & easy to maintain. When installing the wall & ceiling panels, there is no need to use grout as the panels overlap using a tongue and groove effect, making it a lot easier. 

Maintenance Is Easy

Anyone that has lived in a home where the bathroom wall panels consist predominantly of stone tiles will testify to how tricky it can be to ensure that they stay in pristine condition as well as ensuring that there is suitable adhesive between all of the wall tiles.

What you may not know is that there is no-need to go through these hardships - simply switch to PVC cladding for your shower walls & ceiling as it offers & easy minimal cleaning option.

Simple Installation Method

You may be unaware of how arduousness installing tiling can be.

Thankfully, there is a modern solution which is a premium alternative to tiling, and that is PVC Cladding panels. The innovative tongue and groove system means that they can be placed in an efficient & effective manner, leaving you with a professional finish.

It is not difficult to see why PVC bathrooms are slowly-but-surely becoming the option of choice for modern homeowners; easy installation, combined with a first-class appearance, means there are very few shortcomings.

Long-Lasting Benefits

One of the main arguments related to installing bathroom wall cladding is the way in which it combats such elements as moisture.

With tiling, there is always the risk that you can damage the structural integrity of the walls if there is issue with your silicone adhesive that helps create a watertight seal.

This problem is instantly negated when you use PVC wall and ceiling cladding. No longer will you have to worry about mould compromising your bathroom’s aesthetics & structural integrity.

Array Of Design Options

When you are conducting a renovation of your home, the chances are that you will be looking for a design which allows your property to stand apart from others.

Uniqueness is something that can be relatively hard to come by; however, this is not to say that it is impossible.

Making the decision to install PVC cladding in your bathroom means that you can subsequently begin to browse through the extensive range of styles available.

From the more simplistic Black Sparkle to the artistic White Marble - the possibilities are seemingly endless.

Maintains The Value Of Your Home

When the time eventually comes for you to relocate, cladding will provide you with the peace-of-mind that you will not have to start sourcing replacement solutions in the months to come, or make a lot of expensive home improvements that may be required with other wall & ceiling options. This, in turn, might be just what you need to help sell your property.

Excellent Insulator

Whilst this is not necessarily a benefit that is typically attributed to cladding, provided it is installed correctly, it can act as an excellent insulator.

Not only is this in relation to thermal energy - it also works fantastically when absorbing acoustic sounds. The knock-on effect of this is that you can save on your heating bills, whilst simultaneously blocking out the cacophony of noise that is emanating from your neighbours.

Which Bathroom Styles Best Suit You?

In all honesty, there is no one-design which appeals to everyone. Each individual in this world has their own preferences, in terms of style, and this will dictate the route that they choose to go down.

This is where The Cladding Store can provide some much-needed assistance. Below, we have taken the time to outline those which are proving to be most popular in 2021.

Black Marble

This is a design that will have an immediate impact on the overall visual appeal of your bathroom. In comparison to the other styles mentioned on this list, black marble is one that is designed to drastically alter the way that the room is perceived.

Rather than being harmonious, it makes a statement. If you enjoy being slightly different, this might be just what you have been looking for.

Cutline Flagstone Beige

Over the years, tile effects have grown increasingly popular amongst homeowners - this is particularly true when looking into bathrooms, regardless of if the property is period or modern.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise to see that the cutline flagstone beige cladding continues to fly off the shelves. The fact that this can be installed courtesy of the tongue-and-groove method also means that it is significantly more preferable than the tiled predecessor.

Calcutta Marble

Calcutta marble offers a completely different option to that of its black counterpart. In contrast to the rather ‘busy design’ that is provided by the black, this is a style which is considerably more subtle.

The reason for this is that the sweeping grey tones look to soothe people that look upon it. This, then, is ideal for those of you that want to experience tranquillity when entering into your bathroom. 

White Sparkle With Chrome

Last on this list, but by no-means least in terms of aesthetic beauty, white sparkle with chrome is certainly a highly-desirable option. When you first look at this style, it will immediately become apparent that this is meant to capture one’s attention.

It is incredibly bright, meaning that you can create the illusion of having more space than is actually there. If you are working within a small room, this could be a perfect solution.

What To Consider When Renovating Your Bathroom

Stick to your Budget

Whilst it is true that PVC wall panels have become more affordable over the years, this does not necessarily mean that you can complete the renovation project on a tight budget.

In order for you to gauge the situation that you are in, and the types of purchases that you can afford to make, a smart move would be to quickly look at your finances.

Choose a Design

Arguably the most prominent reason as to why you may be thinking about renovating your bathroom, is due to the fact that it is outdated.

The fact of the matter is that your bathroom may have been installed decades ago, and is crying out for a redesign. Perhaps your initial wall or ceiling panels that were initially installed are now so-faded in colour that they are just monotone blobs on the walls; it could be that the porcelain bathtub is past its best, and you would prefer to have a wet room instead.

For some people, this is the most exciting part of the process; for others, it is where the stress begins to rise to the fore.

The reason for the latter way of thinking is because any first-class cladding supplier should be able to present page-after-page of PVC wall panels, each with their own unique designs. If you are trying to keep things simple, the classic White Marble effect could be just what you’re after. Should you prefer to be bold, you could do a lot worse than Damask.

Take your Measurements

There is no point in purchasing cladding panels if you have not-yet assessed the space that you are working with. Whilst you would most-likely be able to sell-on excess cladding products in a short space of time, this is not a situation that you want to have to deal with.

By taking the time out of your day to accurately measure the dimensions of your bathroom, you can subsequently go to your retailer of choice and get them to work in your best interests. 

Underlying Problems

For those of you that have lived in a property for an extended period of time, general wear & tear is to be expected, particularly in areas like your bathroom & kitchen where there is a lot of water & moisture

If you are beginning to notice problems cropping up on a regular basis, it may be time to consider a room makeover.

Source a Retailer

Once you have completed all of the aforementioned steps, all that is left for you to do is source a retailer, and push forward with placing an order. With so many firms operating in this sector, you can cherry pick so to speak.

That being said, few can profess to being on the same level as The Cladding Store. We are a supplier which looks to cater to your needs, whatever they may be. Regardless of if you have a preference for period designs or contemporary styles.
