Wall panels and tiles can both look great. The best choice depends on the style you want, the room and how much cleaning you prefer.

Where panels work well

Panels create large waterproof walls with fewer joins to clean. Stone, marble and concrete looks can make a small shower feel calmer. Panels can also be quicker to fit if the wall is ready.

Where tiles win

Tiles come in many colours, patterns and sizes. They can suit a traditional bathroom, and a damaged tile can be replaced. The grout will need more cleaning.

Ask how they will be fitted

The wall behind the finish must be prepared and protected from water. Good joins, trims and seals help both panels and tiles last longer.
