Wet rooms

Bathrooms, kitchens and saunas are the toughest rooms for any wall surface — splash water, steam, temperature swings and daily cleaning all hit the surface at the same time. In this category we cover what wall panels actually have to deliver in these rooms and which construction details make the difference: seal lines at wall-to-wall junctions, sanitary silicone spec for splash zones, the link between substrate flatness and vapour diffusion, the matte-or-gloss question in wet rooms, and how to build a low-joint shower back wall without losing the warranty. We also walk through edge cases: steam showers with DIN 18534 W3-I requirements, sauna anterooms with cyclic temperature loads, outdoor zones that aren't formally permitted but are frequently asked for. Wall panels in a bathroom replace tile-joint care — but introduce other requirements. This category makes both transparent before you reach for adhesive.
