What is Shower Panel
A Shower Panel, also known as a shower column or tower, is a vertical fixture designed to enhance the showering experience by integrating multiple water outlets in a single, sleek structure.
Quick and Easy to Install
Tiles take time to install, but shower panels are much quicker to fit. They come in large sheets that can be cut to size and don’t require grout. Stick each panel to the wall, then seal around the edges to make it watertight. Shower wall panels can usually be fitted over existing tiles, so you don’t have to remove them first. This means minimal dust and mess; plus, you won’t need to wait for adhesive or grout to dry before using your bath or shower.
Easy to Clean
Since they don’t use grout, shower panels require less maintenance than tiles. Wash them with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to remove watermarks or soap stains. Find more tips for cleaning your bathroom in our dedicated guide.
Durable and Leakproof
Mira wall panels are made from acrylic-capped resin stone. This durable and waterproof material is scratch and chip-resistant and won’t discolour over time, helping your bathroom look new for longer.
Reduced Risk of Mould
Bathrooms are often the most humid rooms in the house, so mould and mildew can appear. Grout between tiles is a hotspot for mould and mildew, but wall panels eliminate this problem.
Cost Effective
The cost of shower wall panels compared to tiles can vary, depending on the style, colour, size and finish you choose. High-quality tiles can be expensive, so shower wall panels are often more cost-effective. Tiling can also incur additional labour costs, whereas wall panels are easy to install yourself.
Versatile
Wall panels can be used in shower enclosures, baths or behind the sink, making them a versatile option. Our wall panels are easily cut to size to fit any space. Although tiles come in hundreds of colours, finishes, shapes and sizes, wall panels are increasingly available in different designs. From classic white to tiled-effect wall panels or faux wood and stone, plenty of options are available.
Types of Shower Panel
PVC Shower Panels
If you’re on a budget, PVC shower panels are an ideal pick as they allow you to experience the desired look of natural textures, at a much lower price. Often PVS Shower Panels are available in a wide range of finishes, from classic marble and stone effects to wood textures. They’re also incredibly lightweight, making them easy to install without professional help.
Acrylic Panels
Acrylic panels provide a luxury, glossy finish that is both modern and elegant. Acrylic panels are available in a variety of colors and designs, allowing for endless creative possibilities. When compared to PVC, Acrylic Shower Panels tend to be heavier and pricier because of their layered construction. Despite their weight, Acrylic panels have a sleeker design and are typically around 4 mm thick. They are designed to withstand knocks and bumps, thanks to their dense and sturdy structure; manufactured with durability in mind, ensuring they stand the test of time.
Laminated MDF Panels
Laminate shower panels are the thickest, heaviest, and typically the most expensive option available, but offer superior quality and durability. They consist of a core material that is sealed in a waterproof laminate, with a thickness ranging from 10mm to 10.5mm. These laminate shower panels have a plywood body that is high-pressure laminated on both sides, providing exceptional strength and protection against heat and moisture. Thanks to their robust construction, laminated shower wall panels offer reliable support for your walls and shower, and they can be easily installed over existing tiles, painted walls, or other surfaces.
How to Choose Shower Panel
Pick a Showerhead & How Many You Want
The first step is to pick out a showerhead like you would for a normal shower system. Shower panels come with a main overhead showerhead that's either fixed (meaning it can't be moved or adjusted) or an adjustable configuration that allows you to change the showerhead's direction while the base stays secure. An adjustable showerhead is great for households with people of different heights, or for open-concept shower enclosures since you can direct the flow of water away from the edge of the enclosure space.
Choose Your Spray Pattern
Choosing a type of shower panel is your chance to pick from a range of spray patterns and pre-set pairings to amplify your shower experience.
Think About the Number of Body Sprayers You Want
As mentioned above, body sprayers are like mini showerheads built into the center area of the panel that provide a horizontal stream of water in either a light misting or a jet stream setting, which you can turn on or off while you shower. Some body sprayers can switch between jet streams or misters by changing the setting on the control knobs, while others have set body sprayers meant for misting or jet streams. Different types of shower panels can have anywhere from one to six or more body sprayer settings – the more sprayer settings you have, the more luxury your shower experience.
Consider Flow Rate
Just like shower systems, shower panels can come with either low (less than 1.8 GPM), medium (2 GPM), or high (2.5 GPM) flow rates. Low water flow rates help lower monthly water bills and are a more eco-friendly shower setting, since they use less gallons of water per minute than higher flow rates. Soft spray patterns usually fall into this category. Medium flow rates usually fall into the standard category for water flow and water pressure (think: rain, champagne, flood, or wide spray patterns), while high flow rates are common for jet, massage, or full spray patterns.
Select a Faucet Control Type
Shower panels offer you the ability to adjust or manipulate your water temperature or pressure through faucet controls, which can look like levers, knobs, or buttons in more high-tech models. Your shower panel can have one or multiple faucet controls to elevate your shower experience.
Choose the Number of Faucet Handles
Your shower panel will come equipped with the right number of faucet handles to match the number of showerheads and mist/jet settings, as well as the tub spout if you’re aiming for a shower/bathtub combo.
Explore Your Finish Options
Match your shower panel to other finishes in your bathroom by choosing from a variety of finish options. Achieve a clean silver look with brushed stainless steel, nickel, or chrome, or add a touch of warmth with gold, bronze, or brass shower panel finishes. Create a modern shower space with a matte black or white shower panel finish.
What Does a Shower Panel Include
Main Overhead Showerhead & Handheld Showerhead
Standard shower panels come with at least two showerheads: a main showerhead (either fixed or adjustable) and a handheld showerhead. They can also come with three showerheads: a main showerhead, handheld showerhead, and either a large body sprayer or a waterfall showerhead spout built into the front of the main showerhead that provides a single column of water for a waterfall effect. The main showerhead is typically located at the top of the panel to provide a standard rinse option for quick showers, while the handheld showerhead attaches to the panel beneath the main showerhead. Use the handheld showerhead to wash your feet, the shower walls, or your pet's paws after muddy adventures, then place it in its holder when not in use.
Tub Spout With Diverter
Some shower panels come with a tub spout and a diverter mechanism to direct the water flow from the showerhead(s) to the tub spout. This is a feature to look out for if you have a bathtub/shower combo or you like to switch up your daily shower with a bath on occasion.
Temperature Control Faucets
Shower panels either have a singular temperature faucet that provides hot or cold water depending on the direction you turn the lever, or two separate temperature control faucets: one designated for hot water and the other for cold.
Body Sprayers
Shower panels have body sprayers with either mist or jet settings situated on the middle of the shower panel above the control faucets. They provide additional water settings that make every shower feel like a day at the spa. Body sprayers have the look of a showerhead that is built into the shower panel, so water flows outward at a horizontal angle. The mist/jet spray settings on body sprayers are super helpful when you want to rinse off your body without getting your hair wet, or when you want to get a super thorough clean from an additional angle than just the main overhead showerhead.
Setting Control Faucets
Shower panels usually have a setting control feature in the form of one or more control knobs or buttons that allow you to switch between the handheld and main showerhead, spray jets, and misting sequences. Looking for an ultra-modern shower panel? Some panels come with digital setting controls.
Choose the Installation Location
Find the appropriate location for your shower panel and mark on the wall how big the panel is. Basically, hold up the panel against the wall, then mark its edges with a marker pen. Ensure your chosen location has water supply pipes running through the wall. Besides the outline of the shower panel, mark where any screws, bolts, and pipes emerge from the shower panel. You can use a spirit level to find the perfect horizontal and vertical planes at the top and sides of the shower panel before marking it.
Drill the Mounting Holes
With the drill in a horizontal position, drill the holes in the marked positions, making sure you don’t damage the wall or any parts underneath it.
Install the Mounting Bracket
Instal the mounting bracket using the screws provided and the drilled holes on the wall. The type of mounting bracket depends on the material of your wall. For most types of walls made of materials such as tiles, concrete, or glass, the provided mounting brackets will work just fine. If not, you can buy a mounting bracket at your local hardware store.
Attach Hand Water Piping
The hand shower hose of the shower panel is to be attached to the outlet from the side of the panel. This should be a slow and gradual process to avoid damaging the panel. Tighten the screws which hold the outlet.
Attach the Shower Arm (If Separate)
If a separate shower arm for the rainfall shower head is provided, you should attach it to the rest of the shower panel by inserting its end into the panel and twisting it until it’s tight enough. You should wrap a piece of cloth around it and then use a wrench to tighten it some more. The cloth is to preserve the look of the panel.
Connect the Water Feed Tubes to the Mains
The shower panel will have two feed tubes in red and blue color. These are usually the standard half-inch (½”) size used in the US and most countries around the world. The red one goes to the red or hot inlet of the mains water supply, while the blue one goes to the blue or cold water inlet.
Mount the Shower Panel
Using the markings you made at the start of this exercise, attach the shower panel to the wall, then fasten it into place using the screws provided and the mounting bracket.
