Wet room panelling recommendations

[ashtons99]

Apologies it’s not exactly tiling but it’s the nearest heading I could find.

I’m wanting to wet board 2 wall adjacent to the bath. The wall at the top end of the bath has shower mixer tap in wall and associated riser bar, also a glass screen screwed to wall top and bottom.

it’s tiled at the moment but going for a change of colour. I like the idea of the boarding but looking for product recommendations. It seems to be either the corrugated pvc board or some form of composite board.

Can anyone offer any experience. Prices per board seem to be from £30 to £300 so it’s a bit of a minefield

Done 5 bathrooms to date with paneling. Always used 'Formica' Shower paneling until the last one I did when I used 'Rearo' paneling; those panels are Marine or WBP Plywood cored.
I judge those to be a balance between cost and durability.
The very best paneling I've seen is Bush Board Nuance used with their sealer.
There is other 100% plastic panels which are cheaper but I found out those panels are UV sensitive and therefore have very limited life.

For what is it worth I used ABS sheet (1200 x 2400 ) as a quick and temporary material for the wall of my shower. That was 9 years ago and it still looks and works OK

The sheet I used is medium grey colour with silver flecks but many other colours are available from various suppliers such as

There is a bewildering array of stuff out there, I’ve been in a couple of showrooms this week where prices varied from £80 a sheet to £350 and I must say on the wall they all looked just about as good. I think I’m going to go for the cheaper end with the option of being able to change them more often !
