We will cover some more common surfaces in this article, but know that you can install wall panels over most surfaces so long as they're sound and level. That includes tiles, drywall/plasterboard, timber, plywood sheeting, concrete and more.

If your walls aren't level you can re-plaster or have a batten frame built to attach the panels to. This does add to the renovation cost but it can be done!

Drywall

Drywall, a widely used building material in the USA, is commonly used for internal walls and ceilings. Applying bathroom wall panels to plasterboard walls in a bathroom can be done easily without professional assistance. Preparing the walls for your shower panels is a straightforward and fast process.

Preparing Drywall for the Installation of Wall Panels

The surface where you intend to install wall panels must be level and smooth. To prepare drywall, clean the wall to eliminate any residue, grease, or dirt that may have built up over time. Once the walls are dry, use a sandpaper block or wire brush to smooth out any loose areas of plaster.

Tiles

While tiles have long been the conventional option for bathrooms, they are expensive and require significant time for installation. Additionally, grouting is highly porous and prone to quickly harboring mildew and mold. PVC panels offer a solution by being able to be installed over existing tiles, forming a waterproof barrier that helps prevent mold growth. It is essential to properly prepare the wall before installing the panels.

Preparing Tiled Walls for the Installation of Wall Panels

Wash the tiled walls using a gentle detergent to remove built-up residue from products such as shampoo and soap, particularly in areas like showers and bathtubs. It is essential to eliminate all product residue before installing wet wall panels. Ensure the tiles are dry and even before proceeding.

Pro Tip: While cleaning, inspect for loose tiles and replace any that are not securely attached to the wall. The tiles must be able to support the weight of the wall panel to be securely mounted. After the wall is dry and any loose tiles have been addressed, you can proceed with preparing the panels.
