Plastic wall sheet for shower
I am having a new shower put in andrather than tile the internal walls
I wondered if its possible to get plastic sheet panels to stick to the wall to provide a waterproof covering and if so who might supply them. Thanks for any help Steve |

Plastic panels are available but I've not seen a nice one yet.
Take a look at Mermaid panels. They are 10mm thick faced plywood designed for shower walls. Eye wateringly expensive but really nice. |

Plastic wall sheet for shower
I have done 2 shower rooms in my place this way ... I used RESPATEX ...
it is not cheap, comes out about same price as good tiles+adhesive+grout. It is wasteful (or was for me) as you end up looking for pieces of the t&g joint ...and you always seem to have all of one type and none of the other. Respatex is a very high quality ply (much more plys than normal) with a laminate film on show face and a phenolic balancing flim on reverse. It is very strong ... using offcuts as shelves in the garage ! You can find Respatex on line. If you want a much cheaper solution you can buy an all plastic sheet in B&Q ... but it has no strength, can make attachment of fixings a problem ... and does not look anywhere near as good - but your choice. or do a search on Google for "waterproof bathroom panels" it returns 14,200 hits. |

Thanks for any help They are available, they always look vile. Most builder's merchants will have details, I think one make is Aquapanel. No, that's a mineral-based board which needs to be tiled onto. David |
