These 100% waterproof laminate bathroom and shower wall panels not only come in high-fashion styles but also feature designs such as transitional, contemporary, modern farmhouse, and shabby chic.

The “No Tile, Tile Wall”

If you love tile but hate grout, you’re not alone. With laminate wall panels, you’ll get the benefit of the look of a tile wall without worrying about dirty grout joints. These bathtub and shower wall panels have a visible ‘faux tile joint,’ which is made of high-pressure laminate – so you won’t be scrubbing joints anymore. These waterproof bathroom wall panels can be cleaned with warm water and a clean cloth, or you can use a non-abrasive detergent. Throw away your tile scrub brush – FOREVER.

Laminate wall panels are easier to use and install than tile, making them a more cost-effective option. They provide the highest quality shower, tub, and bathroom wall surround panels available on the market. Here are essential facts you need to know:

  • It has a durable, high-pressure laminate top surface. For the ‘decorative tile’ walls, the ‘faux grout joint’ is milled out for a 1/16” or 1/8” spacing. They have the look of tile without the maintenance hassle.
  • The high-pressure laminate surface is applied on a 7-layer marine grade birch plywood backing for a durable 3/8” total thickness.
  • On the back of the laminated panels is a vapor barrier backing.
  • The wall panels are approximately 2’ x 8’ in size (actual size is 23.6” x 94.4”)
  • The bathtub and shower panels are 100% waterproof and joined with a patented Aqualock click system and sealant. There is no need for waterproof membranes behind the panels, given the nearly invisible seams between them.

Laminate wall panels (which were developed 40 years ago) are 100% waterproof and can be used in ‘wet areas’ (like showers, tubs, bathroom walls, and kitchen backsplashes). They have a high-pressure laminate top surface applied on a 7-layer marine grade, 3/8” thick plywood backing with a vapor barrier backing. They are joined together with a 100% waterproof Aqualock click system with nearly invisible seams between the panels. Bathroom wall panels eliminate maintenance – yet look exactly like tile (that’s why they’re called the ‘no tile, tile wall). They’re more durable and life-like than acrylic or fiberglass walls (which tend to crack or yellow).
