PVC is the third most widely produced plastic. It is used in construction for pipes and profiles, as it is more durable than traditional materials like copper, iron, and wood. PVC can be made softer and more flexible through the addition of plasticizers. It has properties like durability, fire resistance, electrical insulation, oil and chemical resistance, and compatibility with additives. PVC has excellent electrical insulation and weatherproof attributes and is chemically stable and non-toxic. It is widely used in applications like pipes, flooring, cable insulation, window frames, and more due to its cost-effectiveness and durability.

When it comes to our homes, many of us love to keep up with the latest interior design trends. The bathroom and kitchen in particular are difficult spaces to redecorate; naturally, you want them to look good, but they also have to be fully functional.
Using PVC bathroom wall panels is an increasingly popular way to stay up to date whilst ensuring that your space still functions as it should. Simply put, these panels can come in a variety of patterns and designs and are becoming preferential to other wall materials, such as tiles or paint.
PVC or polyvinyl chloride is a synthetic plastic polymer commonly used in construction. It’s a versatile material that offers many possible applications, including:
Unlike tiling, which is a long and laborious process, PVC panels are extremely easy to install. This easy installation comes as a result of the panels covering a considerably larger surface area than tiles. They also don’t require grout to be used, making them a fantastic alternative for bathrooms and kitchens - our kitchen wall panels and splashbacks for kitchens are the best alternatives for tiles, helping to protect your space from splashes and mould.

In a bathroom or busy kitchen, it’s essential that the walls you have installed are waterproof and will not be damaged by condensation or splashes of water. As is often the case with painted walls, a humid environment can cause paint to break down, and flake/peel off the wall. However, PVC panels are designed with moisture in mind: they’re 100% waterproof and safe to use even as wet room wall panels.
In addition to being waterproof, these panels are also fire-resistant to give you peace of mind when installed in your home.
Tiles are a breeding ground for mould and bacteria due to the grout that finishes it – but wall panels are easy to clean. Any marks or stains on the panel can be removed instantly with a damp cloth and some dish soap, which means they’ll last much longer than other bathroom walling solutions.
PVC panels are also mildew resistant, meaning they’ll prevent the growth of bacteria. They’re low-maintenance, and a fantastic alternative for busy homeowners looking to reduce the time spent cleaning walls. Our wall panels aren't just great for home spaces either, but for various other corporate spaces like gyms too. Our gym wall panels are a great addition due to their easy clean nature meaning that no germs will spread in these types of spaces.
PVC panels aren’t limited to particular styles or aesthetics; they come in a wide range of styles, colours and effects meaning there is always a solution to complement and enhance the current interior design of your room - there are even specific bedroom wall panels and living room wall panels as great decor alternatives that are more durable and chic than paint. Given how much time most of us spend in living rooms and bedrooms, PVC wall panels can really lift these rooms up, turning them into personal sanctuaries.
