Also the joins open and close a little from expansion allowing dirt to be trapped into the joints when cleaning etc. But cheap and cheerful and quick to go up but it's probably 2 days labour saved from tiling a bathroom that's going to be in place for over 20 years so not really cost effective long term if you don't stay on top of the cleaning etc."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52502088","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ashmac"},"datePublished":"2024-04-01T22:44:05.000Z","text":"I fit these when he king my brother in law who re fits bathrooms, there are two types , a solid plastic and one that’s cheaper plastic with hollow insides , do not buy that it’s extremely fragile .

Held to the wall with mastic, joints sealed with silicon, and easily carved with a sharp knife, or drilled. Goes up so easily and quickly.
The material is made for outdoor signs, so there is little damage that will occur in a safe environment with a regular temperature. You could put your vinyl decal on it to make it pretty.

Looks nice at first but soon looks grubby, unlike tiles. They are not cheap either but labour costs is less than tiles. I would only use them in showers and not the whole bathroom."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52507576","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"matthews9479"},"datePublished":"2024-04-02T19:33:24.000Z","text":"I fit the hollow panel ones quite often. Anything can be damaged by accident.
They are really easy to clean and keep mould free compared to tiles. More expensive to buy compared to some tiles but you save a couple of days labour on fitting them.
You can stick them to existing tiles given the right situation."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52503798","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Bambibambo"},"datePublished":"2024-04-02T10:00:26.000Z","text":"I'm having these fitted as I speak >> ukbathrooms.com/pro…tml
