A CANADIAN’S GUIDE TO WALL PANELS

Our bathrooms are not complete without shower panels or shower tile. A well-designed shower panel not only looks great but also makes your shower experience more relaxing and enjoyable. In addition to maintaining your shower wall panels, we want to highlight the various considerations you should make before purchasing your wall panels.

OUR TYPES OF SHOWER PANELS

At Mr.Marble, we offer two types of shower panels: Our smooth and textured (2 styles) wall panels.

ONYX panels and PNK1512 Niche

Smooth: This is our classic line of wall panels which is a smooth to the touch feeling. You can get this in any colour, a matte or shiny finish and they look beautiful both in your shower or as an accent wall.

Textured: We offer two types of textured wall panels: Our Cesta and Cascata. Our cesta wall panels are a beautiful basket weave pattern, a stand-out in any space. Our Cascata has lines that mimic a beautiful waterfall and they flow seamlessly across your bathroom space. Our team recommends getting the textured wall panels in a solid colour, to enhance it’s beauty and let its design be the star of the show.

Shower panels can be placed both in and out of the shower. We offer panels up to 60 x 100”. You can use our wall panels for the ceiling, side walls, smaller panel pieces, back wall and even an accent wall outside of the bathroom.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING WALL PANELS:

1.Budget

Identify a budget you have before you decide to purchase wall panels and tiles. Depending on the price, you may want to go with 3/8” thick wall panels instead of ¾” or you may want a simpler style to meet your budget requirements.

2.Size

Wall panels can become pricey due to their large size and heavy weight. Make sure to identify the size of wall panels required when looking to purchase – so that you get the most accurate price reflection possible.

3.Colour, Texture & Finish

Think about the aesthetic and design you want your bathroom space to have. Will textured wall panels accentuate it better or is it the beautiful M815 swirl marble in a matte finish that will? Knowing what your looking for can transform your bathroom space.

4.Number of Panels Required

In a standard bathroom setting, there are 4 panels: the left side, right side, ceiling and back panel. Consider how many panels your bathroom requires before placing your order.

THE METHODS FOR SHOWER PANEL CLEANING

The beauty of shower panels is that they’re extremely easy to maintain their beauty and keep clean for a long time. There’s no mold or water build up in the grout lines and they stay looking brand new for a very long time.

Regular cleaning with warm water, ‘Bon Ami Window Cleaner’, ‘Gel Gloss Polish’, and other non-abrasive cleaners will keep your Mr.Marble Wall Panels clean. You can also use an multi-surface cleaner to get soap scum and residue off from your shower wall panels.Never use bleach cleaners as it may discolour the product. Choosing wall panels are a unique and beautiful way to elevate your bathroom. They are luxurious, high-quality, cleaner, and can really make your space pop.
