INTERIORS
Recent trends have seen clients begin to be more adventurous with the aesthetics of their bathrooms
include marble – for those who are after a more opulent finish – and for those who want to bring an element of the outdoors into their bathroom, there are wood effects and other natural finishes. There are even tile-effect wall panels, which provide the look and feel of tiles, without the hassle, and with all the benefits of wall panels.
Sustainability
Beyond performance and cost-saving benefits, wall panels are a sustainable option for bathroom design. Sustainability is an important consideration for any project, and customers are likely to want assurance that their home and/or bathroom is being designed in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Many wall panels are made from sustainable materials, such as FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) assured timber, MDF or plywood. Additionally, choosing a wall panel that is made in the UK will also increase the sustainability of the product – the wall panels have had a shorter journey

to get from the manufacturing site to their final destination.
In a time of such uncertainty within the global landscape, choosing products that have been made more locally will also provide additional security in terms of supply chain issues, and will often mean that completion time is further reduced with a fast turnaround. Wall panels are designed for a long shelf-
life – standing the test of time and lasting up to 30 years whilst maintaining their high-performing attributes. By choosing wall panels, architects can assure their customers that they are choosing a long- lasting material for their bathroom. When no longer needed, most wall panels can be recycled, avoiding landfill. Many manufacturers will also recycle 99% of post-production waste into biomass fuel, contributing positively to the circular economy.
