A.B Building Products Ltd (Panelling & Flooring) - Bathroom Laminate Flooring, Shower Wall Boards, Shower Panels

AB Building Products Ltd Panelling & Flooring) was established in 1989 & later became winners of the ‘Small Business of the Year Awards for the Test Valley and the Hampshire Area’ in 2007, we have been selling Shower Wall Boards, Bathroom Laminate Flooring, Bathroom Ceiling Panels and Wet Wall type Panels throughout the UK and Ireland successfully for a great number of years. These are extremely versatile. Shower Panels can be fitted in any room - in the home or at work - and can be fitted to walls or ceilings

Unlike ceramic tiles, our Waterproof Panels are warm to the touch so condensation will not form on it, therefore mould growth is inhibited. Our Bathroom Cladding ranges are therefore very well suited to areas of the house with high humidity such as the bathroom, but they are equally effective in a shower room, kitchen, wet room or utility room. There is no grout so cleaning is simplicity itself, just a quick wipe over with soapy water. Bathroom cladding can be installed over tiles providing they are fixed securely. The structure lends a degree of heat and noise insulation to any surface to which it is attached.

You can panel a shower cubicle with our Waterproof Panels or even the whole shower room or wet room. If you have got an existing shower cubicle that needs to be brightened up the panels can be installed over your existing tiles - and running the panels down on to a shower tray will produce a better seal than running them behind the shower tray. The Wet Wall type sheets do not have to be limited to the shower cubicle alone, the whole room can be transformed - and the more you use, the greater the benefit: no grout to keep clean, rake out or maintain; nothing to paint or varnish; condensation problems reduced.

Waterproof wall panels can be used very effectively on kitchen walls and ceilings and will provide an extremely attractive easy to clean, grout free surface. Our kitchen cladding has a European M1 fire rating and will resist heat up to 60°C - the only thing to remember is that it is a UPVC cladding system and as with most plastic it is liable to melt or warp if exposed to direct heat such as kitchen hobs or central heating boilers. In these situations it is better to use ceramic tiles in these hot areas and use panelling in the rest of the room.

It is possible to make a bath panel from all of our panelling products. If you are panelling your bathroom you will probably have enough off-cuts left over to make a bath panel. This will give your bath a "built-in" look and will also provide a very sturdy panel - much more rigid than a conventional acrylic bath panel that are supplied with many bathroom suites. Sometimes a frame needs to be made to which the panels are attached, but this is not always necessary (depending on the type of bath). You can also make a corner bath panel, although this is a little more complicated - contact our sales office for details.

Our waterproof wall panels are suitable for use as a hygienic wall cladding system in food preparation areas as there is no grout to harbour germs or bacteria. Installation is quick and easy and with little or no preparation work required can prove very cost effective even in large areas.

Anyone who has painted a ceiling will appreciate the maintenance free qualities of our ceiling panels. All of the panels in our range can be used as ceiling cladding, but some work better than others on the ceiling. As a general rule light, matt or silk finishes work best but try to avoid using the same panels on the walls and ceiling - it can end up looking like a mausoleum! Gold and Silver Highlight Strips can also be used to help complement the panels. As can be seen from many of the images included here the wall panels and ceiling panels can be used to transform any room in the house
