Sometimes all you want to do when you are back home is laying back and relax. You surely don’t want to spend time cleaning your shower every morning and every weekend. Things would be totally different when you are with SPC shower wall panel. Enhanced stain resistance surface coating gives no chance for stains to stay, even soap scum and water stains.

How to clean SPC wall Panel?

1. Use a soft damp cloth
2. Use non-abrasive cleaner
3. Gently wipe it clean

Cost Effective SPC Wall Panel

1. the product itself is much more affordable than tiles, which makes it a great choice for the majority of people. If you are considering the best balance of performance and cost instead of the cheapest, SPC wall panel stands out compared to Acrylic panels, fiberglass, PVC panels, and laminate wall panels.
2. delivery cost is less. Lighter but sturdy, and only 1/5 the shipping cost of traditional tiles. A kind of wall panel that customers feel comfortable to purchase, and sellers love to sell due to a higher profit margin.

Although I have to admit that I am obsessed with the bathroom SPC wall panel system, tile still gets its place compared to other products.

In terms of the Grout Effect, Tiles Win Over Acrylic Wall Panel

People will easily get satisfied when they see something different, that’s because they haven’t found a better one and get fooled by what they’ve already had. If you are about to choose Acrylic wall panels because of their amazing looks? I suggest you’d better choose tiles. Trust me, you will regret it when you get the plasticky thing installed in your fancy bathroom.

And I really wish someone could tell you to look at the SPC wall panel as well! Featuring stunning and versatile designs, shower SPC wall panels give you endless design options with wood looks, marble designs, and tile effects, with or without grout lines for your preference.

In terms of Easy to Carry, Tiles Win Over Marble and Cultured Stone

The bathroom and shower area is a space that is neither too large nor too small. You still need to bring up the wall materials. But once the materials are too heavy, like cultured stone, it causes big trouble. No wonder, it is easy to bring up boxes of tiles compared with stones.

But when you choose SPC wall panel, it would be much easier! Not like PVC wall panels which are thin and can be flimsy and prone to damage, SPC wall cladding is resilient, sturdy, and stable due to brand-exclusive formula and technique.

In terms of around a curved wall, Tiles Wins

Although there are almost no curved walls in the shower, if it does, tiles are easier to adapt to the shape.

SPC wall panels from FastPanel collection can also do the magic to some extent.
