Shower Wall Panels vs Tiles

When it comes to designing your shower, tiles may seem like the typical choice for your home. However, the use of wall panels has continued to grow for shower installations throughout the years.

In many cases, installing wall panels may be the better choice for your property's shower. This article will cover the main benefits of choosing wall panels over individual tiles when renovating a shower. 

Easier Maintenance

If you have individual tiles in your shower, the spaces between them can gather dirt and grime if left unmaintained. With the lack of grouting, a wall panel requires less maintenance to keep its beauty. 

The maintenance of wall panels is straightforward and requires less of a time investment. If you are frustrated with the difficulty of maintaining grout, a wall panel is a great solution.

Mildew Resistance

Wall panels are a waterproof design feature that is resistant to mold and mildew growth. The wall panel is a more hygienic option that reduces the instances of smells and other issues associated with individual tiles.

Grout in between tiles can absorb moisture, which leads to mildew growth that's difficult to remove. Additionally, there are mildew-resistant coatings that can be added to wall panels for superior protection. 

Faster Installation

If you want a cost-effective and efficient shower remodel, wall panels are the better option. Wall panels are faster to install and can be completed by an experienced bathroom remodeler within one day. 

The shorter installation times help to reduce labor costs and the overall cost of the project. A wall panel installation is the preferred choice for families who want minimal disruption during a home renovation.

Customizable Designs

When installing wall panels, you don't have to give up the look of individual tiles in your shower. Wall panels come in various designs, which include options that mimic the look of ceramic tiling.

Additionally, you can choose from numerous materials, colors, and finishes for your wall panels. However, you won't have to worry about scrubbing the faux grout between the wall panels.
