What are Proclad shower kits and what do they include?
Proclad shower panels are designed as complete wall panelling systems for bathrooms and wet areas.
These shower wall panels are made from impermeable plastic, forming the main waterproof surface and are supported by trims and corner pieces that cover joins and edges for a clean finish.
Adhesive and sealant are used during installation to secure the panels to the wall and to ensure all joints remain fully watertight once fitted.
What colours and finishes are available?
Proclad’s shower backsplash panels are available in a range of loud and neutral solid colour finishes to match the vibe of your home or commercial space.
The gloss surface helps reflect light and creates a clean, bright appearance in shower areas. These smooth surfaces are easy to wipe clean after use.
Colour choice depends on the overall bathroom design, with lighter tones often used to create a spacious feel and darker tones used for a more contemporary look.
Are Proclad shower kits waterproof and suitable for wet areas?
These uPVC shower wall panels are designed specifically for the high moisture environments of a shower or wet room.
Combined with sealed joints and correct installation, this creates a leakproof barrier that performs reliably in constant wet conditions.
How long do Proclad shower panels last?
The rigid construction of Proclad’s uPVC shower panels helps the panels resist impact, moisture damage and general wear associated with daily shower use.
Their surface finish is also designed to remain stable and resistant to fading or discolouration over time.
Are Proclad’s shower backsplash panels better than tiles?
Proclad shower panels offer several advantages over tiles, particularly in terms of installation speed, maintenance and long-term cleanliness.
While tiles can provide more design flexibility panels are often chosen for their practicality, modernity and ease of upkeep.
How are Proclad’s uPVC shower panels installed?
Installation involves measuring, cutting and fixing the panels to the wall using adhesive, followed by sealing and fitting trims. The process is designed to be straightforward, although accuracy is important to achieve a watertight and professional finish.
However, professional fitting may be preferred for complex layouts, uneven walls or full bathroom refurbishments where precision is critical.
Can Proclad shower wall panels be fitted over existing tiles?
In many cases, Proclad’s wall panels for showers can be installed directly over existing ceramic tiles, provided the surface is stable and properly prepared. This makes them a practical option for bathroom renovations where removing tiles would be disruptive or time consuming.
Overlay installation is suitable when the existing tiles are firmly fixed, level and free from major cracks or movement. If the wall surface is uneven or damaged, it may need preparation or repair before panels can be safely fitted.
Can Proclad shower panels be cut and adjusted to size?
Wall panels for showers can be cut to size to fit specific wall dimensions, including around fixtures, corners and awkward spaces. Careful measuring and the use of appropriate cutting tools help ensure clean edges and accurate fitting.
Common tools such as a fine-toothed saw, jigsaw or sharp utility blade are typically used depending on panel thickness and material. It is important to measure carefully before cutting and to support the panel properly to avoid chipping or uneven edges.
Do Proclad shower wall panels need grout or special maintenance?
Because there are no grout lines, dirt and moisture have fewer places to accumulate, which helps maintain a cleaner surface with less effort.
The smooth surface can be cleaned easily with mild household cleaning products and does not rely on porous joints that can stain or deteriorate.
