Porcelain shower panels: the best choice for your bathroom
Are you looking for the perfect material for your shower panel?
No need to look any further, because we are about to introduce you to the best option available.
Porcelain has been gaining popularity in the U.S. lately, and there is a good reason for that.
Read on to find out everything there is to know about this material, and why it is the most suitable for your bathroom!
About full slab porcelain
Full slab porcelain is an artificial material made from the mixture of white China clay and powdered China stone.
The slabs are heated to a temperature higher than 2600 °F, after which they are covered in a pigmented glaze for a perfect, natural stone-like appearance.
This manufacturing process allows full slab porcelain to become durable and non-porous, making it an excellent material for various purposes.
Porcelain slabs have been used and loved in Europe for decades now, and finally more and more American households are incorporating them as a beautiful and versatile addition to their home.
Why is porcelain perfect for my bathroom?
Let us show you some of the qualities that make full slab porcelain especially suited for bathrooms.
First, let’s compare it to natural stones like marble or granite: those will also do the job, but there is an increased chance of stains caused by water and soap due to their porousness.
You can apply a very good sealer, yet these materials are still not going to be 100% waterproof in a bathroom.
Full slab porcelain, however, is a very good substitute thanks to its non-porous and stain-proof surface, which is also easy to clean.
It is also produced to be heat-resistant and durable, making sure that the slabs stay free of scratches and chippings for a very long time.
The best material for shower panels
If you are looking for the best material available for shower panels, you should probably go for full slab porcelain.
Full shower panels only have a few seams – this means they cover the walls of the shower almost entirely, ensuring that the whole surface is waterproof.
You can complement your shower panels with regular mosaic tile on the floor.
Both the slabs and the tiles are backed up with Durock, a special substrate that makes sure that no water escapes through the seams.
Note: at the time of the template, please have pictures of all the shower parts (shower head, etc.) taken for us – we need those so that we can drill holes into the panels accordingly.
Choose wisely!
A full slab porcelain is not only practical, but also very beautiful – this is an important factor, because shower panels are vertical, and their beauty can easily be seen by anyone entering the bathroom.
If we combine functionality and convenience with a stylish design and a great price, the result is porcelain – the perfect material for shower panels, as well as for any other part of the bathroom.
