When it comes to large-scale bathroom renovations, the finishing touches can make all the difference. One fantastic option for decorating a bathroom is internal cladding. This sleek, stylish, and practical option has a number of benefits, and is often a better choice that tiles. Let’s explore five key benefits of choosing internal cladding for your next bathroom renovation.

1) Excellent Design Options
While we all know what to expect from a tile, bathroom cladding offers an impressive variety of design choices. These PVC panels can mimic the look of natural materials such as marble, stone, concrete, and wood. Whether your customer is looking for a sleek and modern look, or something more rustic, we can help you find the perfect cladding for their room.
2) Easy Installation
One of the standout features of bathroom cladding is its ease of installation. Unlike tiles, cladding panels can be installed directly over unprepared walls, plaster, or even existing tiles—saving time and reducing labour costs. The panels use a tongue-and-groove system, which allows them to lock into place securely and effortlessly. Additionally, you only need a few simple tools and adhesive to apply them. For areas prone to moisture, such as shower unit or near bathtubs, a quick application of silicone around the edges adds extra protection. This installation will only take you a few hours, rather than the days it takes to complete a tiling job.
3) Low Maintenance Finish
Once installed, your customer will enjoy all of the low maintenance benefits of bathroom cladding. Unlike tiles which require regular grout cleaning to prevent damp, cladding has no grout lines. This design makes the cladding easy to clean. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and soapy water will keep these panels looking fresh. Additionally, hygienic cladding is resistant to mould, bacteria and staining, so not only does it look great, but they are also a highly functional addition to the bathroom.
Top tip: it is not advised to use neat bleach products on internal cladding. Non-bleach household cleaners are sufficient to keep these panels looking their best.
4) Budget-Friendly Option
For contractors working within tight budgets, cladding offers significant cost savings compared to tiles. It’s not just the material that’s more affordable; the simplified installation process means lower labour costs as well. These savings can be passed on to your customers, helping you to stay competitive while still delivering a high-quality result. Whether you’re working on a residential bathroom or a commercial project, cladding offers excellent value without compromising on style or durability.
5) Ideal for Larger Projects
When working on large-scale projects—such as communal bathrooms in gyms, hospitals, or changing rooms—cladding truly shines. Its durability, hygienic properties, and ease of installation make it a practical choice for high-traffic areas that need to stay looking great with minimal upkeep. Plus, by choosing large cladding panels, you can cover large expanses of wall quickly, streamlining the installation process. Wet room cladding can help you meet your deadline with ease.
