Discover the benefits of shower panels compared to tiles and decide whether they’re suitable for your bathroom. 

Tiles take time to install, but shower panels are much quicker to fit. They come in large sheets that can be cut to size and don’t require grout. Stick each panel to the wall, then seal around the edges to make it watertight. 

Shower wall panels can usually be fitted over existing tiles, so you don’t have to remove them first. This means minimal dust and mess; plus, you won’t need to wait for adhesive or grout to dry before using your bath or shower.  

Mira wall panels are made from acrylic-capped resin stone. This durable and waterproof material is scratch and chip-resistant and won’t discolour over time, helping your bathroom look new for longer. 

Bathrooms are often the most humid rooms in the house, so mould and mildew can appear. Grout between tiles is a hotspot for mould and mildew, but wall panels eliminate this problem. In addition, Mira wall panels feature BioCote® technology, reducing bacteria and mould growth by up to 99.9%

Wall panels can be used in shower enclosures, baths or behind the sink, making them a versatile option. In addition, Mira wall panels are available in different sizes, including full-height panels for showers. Our wall panels are easily cut to size to fit any space.

Although tiles come in hundreds of colours, finishes, shapes and sizes, wall panels are increasingly available in different designs. From classic white to tiled-effect wall panels or faux wood and stone, plenty of options are available.

Overall, shower panels are often more cost-effective than tiles, require less cleaning and will look their best for longer.
