Why Choose Shower Wall Panels Over Tile?

Written by Stephen Ryan | Dec 2, 2021 11:26:55 AM

For bathroom remodeling upgrades, one of the key questions that people may ask is whether it’s ideal to get wall panels or tiles for their shower. Tiles are known to be the most common choice for projects like this, however, wall panels have proven a solid alternative since they were introduced on the market. If you’re changing a tub to a shower or planning a renovation, here is an overview of the two to determine which material actually works for you.

Choosing Tiles

For the longest time, tiles have been shown to be beneficial because of many things. They are always trendy and fully customizable, which means they can be cut and installed however you like. Tiles are also a convenient choice because they are lightweight and are easy to install with just the help of an adhesive. Moreover, experts note that they are greener than any other item. 

Choosing Wall Panels

Similar to tiling, panels also offer easy installation— they can even be fitted over existing tiles. Shower replacement teams suggest this material is low-cost and is much easier to maintain as it requires less cleaning. One thing that may convince you to choose wall panels over tiles is that they are more hygienic compared to their counterparts. They easily eliminate all problems associated with grout such as mildew and mold that normally come with tiling.
