and adoption as a stylish alternative to tiles, boosted by design choice, ease of installation and simpler maintenance. In recent years, this trend has continued
at pace. According to Barbour ABI, the UK wall panels market grew by 10% in 2024 – growth which reflects not only the practical benefits of panel systems, but also significant advances in their design and finish. Advances in laminate and print
technology have transformed the aesthetic potential of shower panels. Today’s products can replicate the depth, character and tactile qualities of natural materials, while retaining the durability, hygiene and ease of maintenance that first established panels as a practical alternative to tile. Textured wall panels offer exceptional
versatility and can complement almost any design scheme, from contemporary minimalist bathrooms through to more traditional or industrial-inspired interiors. The look and feel of natural surfaces can be authentically replicated, allowing high-end finishes to be achieved without the cost and maintenance implications. Natural stone and marble textures create a luxurious spa-like feel, complete with tactile veining; timber-effect textures with woodgrain detail support the ongoing biophilic trend of bringing nature indoors; and concrete-inspired finishes work particularly well in modern industrial spaces. Laminate technology is where wall panelling sets itself apart from other materials – no other wall covering material can match laminate in terms of the sheer variety of textures and finishes available, enabling greater freedom to personalise a bathroom space without the premium price tag associated with natural materials. For architects and specifiers, the
development of textured finishes alongside the growth of wall panels in the market means wider design choices can be embraced without sacrificing practicality. This combination of design flexibility and
performance is particularly valuable across sectors such as hospitality, residential, healthcare and later living, where bathrooms are expected to be flexible and create a welcoming, sometimes premium appearance while standing up to intensive daily use. As bathroom design across all sectors
continues to evolve, textured shower panels are demonstrating that architects no longer need to choose between aesthetics and performance.
