BATHROOM TILE ALTERNATIVE
Classic bathroom tiles break every wall into a grid — interrupted by silicone lines that turn grey after two years. Our SPC wall panels offer the architectural alternative: seamless, 100% waterproof, installed over the old wall in a single morning.

SPC — right when:
Ceramic tiles — better when:
Large format instead of a tile grid
60 × 120 cm per panel — a few joints instead of many grout lines. No silicone edges across the surface, no black lines.
A true-to-material stone look
Photorealistic printed decors with a tactile surface texture — synchronised embossing. The eye sees stone, the hand feels stone.
Approved for shower & splash zones
100% waterproof SPC core, approved by trade associations. End profiles stop water from running behind at the tub edge.
Installation without demolition
Straight onto old tiles, plasterboard or plaster — Drop-Click needs no sub-frame. A bathroom in one afternoon is realistic.
Mould prevention
No grout = no mould trap. SPC gives microorganisms no foothold — the most common failure point of bathroom tiles.
No telegraphing
The rigid mineral core (over 60% limestone) stops old tile joints from showing through — unlike soft PVC vinyl.

Basis: a 4 m² shower bathroom, 1 person, 1 day of DIY. Prices incl. delivery, with no hidden contractor costs.

STRAIGHT OVER OLD TILES
As long as the existing tiles are firmly bonded and the wall is no more than 3 mm out of true per running metre, you install straight over them. No tear-out, no contractor, no dust.
The Drop-Click system compensates for minor unevenness. Larger steps are corrected in minutes with a thin levelling compound. A bathroom renovation in a single day is realistic.

Check the substrate
Tap the tiles: firmly bonded? Out of true under 3 mm/m? Fill coarse unevenness with rapid-set cement.
Prepare
Degrease + dust off the surface. No primer needed. Pull out wall sockets.
Click & done
Measure panels, cut them (circular saw or utility knife), snap in the Drop-Click. End profile + sanitary silicone at the tub edge.
Shower & shower wall
100% waterproof SPC core, approved by trade associations as a shower wall. Large format 60 × 120 cm. No mould.

Bathroom wall panels

Bathroom wall panels
Guest WC
Small room, big effect. One accent wall in a marble look — installed in under 2 hours.
Standard shower approx. 5 m²: total time 4–6 hours
Check the substrate
~20 min.Old tiles: firm, clean, grease-free. Re-bond loose tiles with tile adhesive. Optionally sand for grip.
Acclimatisation
24 hr.Acclimatise the panels lying flat at room temperature (18–25 °C) for 24 hours. Important for dimensionally stable clicking.
Measure & cut
~40 min.Measure the area, cut the panels to size with a saw or utility knife. Mark and cut out openings for windows and fittings.
Align the first row
~20 min.Use a spirit level to set the first row of panels perfectly horizontal. This row determines the run of every row above it.
Snap in the Drop-Click
~90 min.Apply mounting adhesive to the back, set the next panel onto the profile of the previous one from above until it locks, and press it firmly. Stagger the end joints.
Seal corners & transitions
~40 min.Cover internal and external corners with matching profiles. Seal the transitions to floor and ceiling with sanitary silicone.
Fit the trim strips
~20 min.Hide the top edge with a trim strip. Mask off, apply silicone, smooth it off. Done: a seamless shower.
