UPVC panels, compared to plywood shower panels, excel in water resistance, preventing swelling and water damage. They demand less upkeep, being easier to clean and maintain. Lighter in weight, UPVC is more straightforward to install. Consistency in appearance is another plus, compared to the variable patterns of plywood. With the added benefit of recyclability, UPVC panels emerge as a more practical and environmentally conscious choice for shower installations, particularly well-suited for the moisture-rich environments of UK bathrooms.
If you’re inclined towards more customizable options, plywood panels, which are made to order, can be provided at an additional cost, offering a broader range of choices compared to UPVC panels.
