Updating your shower design can be a daunting task with all the options and features available. However, most homeowners prioritize the features they want in their new installation including walls that are easy to clean, maintain and install; but are also affordable. Shower wall panels fit all these requirements, and may be the best option for your new bathroom design.
Shower panels are known by a variety of descriptions – including shower paneling, PVC or bathroom wall panels. They are sold in individual pieces or as components of shower kits. Each purchase option has its own benefits, with individual pieces allowing for easy fit and customization for irregularly shaped shower designs, while kits include all the components required for standardized sizes – making it ideal for the beginner DIY’er.
But with the average bathroom remodeling project costing $5,000 or more, you may be asking yourself about the cost. In fact price may be the deciding factor for your choice in remodeling materials. Because of this, bathroom wall panels may be an ideal option for a number of reasons, including:
- Panels have an affordable starting cost, starting at $200 for individual panels and $500 or more for multiple panels and kits.
- Kits and individual panel pieces are easy to install, reducing labor costs and making it possible for a beginner to install.
- A range of design and color options are available. Shower wall panels are not limited to plain white, but come in a range of colors, have inserts for easy customization and have style options as faux tile for a more traditional look.
- Paneling is long lasting, durable, waterproof and watertight. This means after your remodeling project is completed; the next time you need to remodel your shower is when you are looking to update its style.
In other words, shower wall panels not only look great – but they are easy to install, extremely affordable, and durable. But there is yet another reason to choose bathroom paneling. The one piece surface and minimal number of seals make it extremely easy to clean. And for those who hate to clean the bathroom this is a definite advantage! Even the faux tile is easy to maintain because mold can not accumulate in the areas between the tiles normally consisting of grout. Because panels are most commonly made from PVC, plastic, acrylic and fiberglass, regular wiping with hot water or mild cleaner will keep them looking like new.
The description above only highlights a few of the features and benefits of adding shower wall paneling to your bathroom. If you are looking for a product that is easy to install, affordable, easy to maintain and comes in a variety of styles and options, this may be the solution for you.
