Default Panelling out a shower cubicle (ie not tiling)?

I have no experience of fitting anything like this, and googling has
thrown up number of possible suppliers (none of which I've ever heard of, eghttp://www.bathroommarquee.co.uk/decos-spaceline.phphttp://mermaidpanels..com/)

Costs appear to vary from about the same as tiling to substantially
more. *Anyone done this as a viable alternative to tiling? *Any tips,
experiences, sources of materials etc gratefully received.

It has the advantage that there is little surface preparation required
and quick & easy to fit. Some is removable. However it scratches and
is noisy (wnen the water hits it).
