Frequently Asked Questions
Fitting Compact panels correctly needs Showerwall Panel Adhesive to fix the panel to the wall, Showerwall Sealant to seal the trims, and the relevant trims for your layout, covering corners, joins and finished edges. It’s the same core approach used across Showerwall’s other laminate based shower wall panels, adapted slightly for Compact’s solid composite construction.
Compact trims should be sealed using Showerwall’s own sealant, the same product recommended across the wider panel range. Using the specified sealant rather than a generic alternative helps keep the finish consistent and protects your Showerwall guarantee.
Often, yes. Because Compact panels measure a generous 1220mm x 2440mm, a single sheet can cover more wall area than the standard 600mm width used across most of the Laminate range, which can mean fewer joins and less trim required across a single panel installation. The exact amount still depends on the size and shape of your walls.
Compact trims are available in four coordinating finishes, Chrome, Satin Silver, White and Black, so hardware can be matched to taps and fittings without needing to compromise on the overall look of the room.
Not quite. While Compact panels use the same adhesive and sealant as Laminate panels, the trims are not interchangeable between the two ranges. This comes down to the difference in panel thickness: Compact trims measure 3mm to suit the slimmer profile of Compact panels, whereas Laminate trims measure 11mm to match the greater thickness of Laminate panels. Because of this, it’s important to order the correct trims for the specific panel range you’re installing, as using the wrong size won’t fit correctly.
Yes. As with most of the Laminate range, trims are needed on the outer edges and corners of Compact panels to achieve a properly watertight, finished result. This puts Compact closer to Original, Impression and Tile in terms of installation requirements, rather than the trim free approach used for Acrylic panels across shower wall panels UK bathrooms.
