Pattern choices are driven by the design style you like. There are options for traditional or transitional bathrooms, for a minimalist look, shabby chic, modern farmhouse and even high gloss acrylic.

Textured Slate

Rustic Wood

Yes – these 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 have a tendency to crack or yellow).

Yes. Many wall panel lines only offer matte OR gloss finish – but not in this laminate line. For the calming feel of matte finish, you’ll want to check out the ‘Oasis Collection.’ You’ll find many gloss patterns in the ‘Transitionalist’ and ‘High Gloss’ collections.

Innovate Building Solutions is much more than a nationwide shower and tub wall supplier. We offer many bathroom remodeling products (including shower bases and glass block shower wall systems and contemporary shower accessories) at wholesale direct prices. In addition, our company is a professional installer and contractor in our local markets, so we know how these panels are installed and can guide you through the process. The materials you purchase from us are also the materials we install daily in our regional markets (we have qualified people to help with your questions!). If you don’t want to DIY the project, as about our network of professional installing shower wall panel dealers. 

This material has a lifetime warranty covering water resistance, maintaining consistent product color and stain resistance. It does not cover accidental damage or misuse through improper cleaning (i.e. don’t use abrasive chemicals to clean these wall panels).

If the wallboard products covered are found to be defective by Innovate Building Solutions (or one of our authorized representatives) we will repair, or at our option replace, the product with a similar panel or trim piece. Our option to repair or replace does not cover any labor or costs associated with the removal or installation. We will not be responsible for any other incidental or consequential damages attributed to a product defect or to the repair or exchange of a defective product.

Use clean soft cloth with warm water or non-abrasive cleaners like Fantastic, Windex, Green Works, 409, Tilex Spray, Pine Sol and Lime Away spray. Do not use abrasive or gritty cleaners (like Comet, Scotch Brite Pads, Magic Eraser etc.).

These panels are 600 mm x 2400 mm (which is 23.6” x 94.4”) and are 3/8” thick.

No – it is not recommended to use these panels in a sauna or steam room.

Since these panels literally ‘click and seal’ together (like a snap-together flooring system) they are straightforward for someone with no prior experience to install. They can be cut with standard woodworking equipment with a fine-tooth blade. There are no specialized blades you need to buy. They can be installed by one person. Also – since our company (Innovate Building Solutions) uses them on our own jobs we can guide you through any installation questions you may have.

For most of your walls the answer is no. The panels can be installed directly to horizontal furring strips attached to your studs. Where you will want a ½” thick construction plywood backing (or OSB – Oriented Strand Board) is behind the walls with your plumbing fixtures, or where there is a wall mounted sink or wall mounted toilet.

The panels should be stored flat for 3 days at room temperature prior to installation. They need to be ‘acclimated’ like laminate flooring. 

Yes – these panels can be installed over drywall or stud partitions. Make sure the screws are long enough to properly grip the studs behind the drywall.

Since it is not recommended to have more than one moisture barrier in a shower – it is recommended in a shower to remove the old tile before installing our panels. In a kitchen backsplash – it is possible to go over the old tile.

No. Old fiberglass or acrylic walls will need to be removed and brought back to the studs before installing these 3/8” thick panels.

Only use the sealant provided with the installation kit between the Aqualock ‘click-together’ wall panels or between the wall panels and the profile trim pieces. They are color matched based on the panel joints and have been tested with this system.

Yes – the standard installation kit comes with any wall panel system. It includes 2 large L profiles or 2 small L profiles, 1 tube sealant, 1 box wall panel wipes, 1 can of cleaning solution and 1 package with sealant finishing tools.
