Laminate
Our two-part system ensures a watertight seal and comes in a range of colours to match any decor. It’s easy to install and maintain. Not required for the Majestic Collection, which is 100% waterproof by design.
Trims
To ensure a watertight finish, trims must be used on outer edges and corners with panels from the Original, Impression, and Tile Collections. Panels from the Majestic Collection do not require trims for waterproofing, but optional finishing trims are available to neatly cover exposed edges and complete the look.
Five trims are available dependant on where you would like to fit our panels. Note: all trims measure, 2450mm in length and should be sealed using Showerwall sealant.
Internal Corner
Used on all internal 90º corners.
Joining Trim
Used to mount panels side by side.
External Corner
Used on all external 90º corners.
Finishing End Trims & Quadrant Trims
Finishing end trims for panels.
Five available trim colours:
Bright Silver
Satin Silver
Brushed Gold
White Gloss
Matt Black
You may notice small marks at one end of your Showerwall trim. These are jig marks caused by the production process, not damage, and they do not affect the trim’s performance.
The marks are confined to the last 25 mm of the 2450 mm profile. As Showerwall panels are 2430 mm high, most of this end is normally cut off when the trim is fitted.
Sureseal
At the base of the Showerwall panel, even greater sealing performance is achieved using Sureseal. Fit and forget using the only maintenance-free shower seal on the market with no future resealing required. This four point sealing system is quick and easy to install, leaving the entire base of the panel encapsulated in sealant without any unsightly lines. Sureseal measures 2450mm long.
Sureseal front capping is available in three colours:
Black
White
Satin Silver
Sealant & Adhesive
We recommend that Showerwall’s own brand of adhesive and sealants are used for the effective fitting of Laminate to wall and sealing between respectively. Our Showerwall guarantee only applies if the correct products are used when fitting Showerwall panels.
Frequently Asked Questions
A correct Laminate installation needs Panel Adhesive to fix the panel to the wall, Silicone Sealant to seal trims and joints, and Sureseal at the base where the panel meets a shower tray, bath or wet room floor. Depending on the layout, you’ll also need trims for corners, joins and finished edges, all specifically designed as laminate accessories for Showerwall’s laminate shower wall panels rather than generic building products.
Sureseal is a two-part system that creates a flexible, four-point seal at the base of a laminate panel, where it meets a shower tray, bath edge or wet room floor. It’s especially important on panels with an MDF or plywood core, since it protects the most vulnerable join in the installation, and once fitted it removes the need for ongoing resealing at that junction. As part of the range of laminate accessories, Sureseal helps provide reliable protection at the base of your shower walls.
As a general guide, Showerwall recommends two tubes of Panel Adhesive and one tube of Silicone Sealant per standard panel, though exact quantities depend on panel width and the number of trims being sealed. It’s worth checking coverage against your specific panel size before ordering, since running short partway through a shower wall panel installation is easy to avoid with the right quantities from the start.

Five trim types cover most installations: internal corner, external corner, joining trim for mounting Square Edge panels side by side, Sureseal for the base of the panels, quadrant trim or end trim for a finished edge. Trims are essential on outer edges and corners for a properly watertight result, and each length runs to 2450mm, so they’re sized to match a full panel run rather than needing to be pieced together. These trims form an important part of the laminate accessories needed to complete your shower wall panels installation. To check what trims your panels need click here.
Trims come in a wide range of finishes, including Bright Silver, Satin Silver, Brushed Gold, White Gloss and Matt Black, so hardware can be matched to taps and fittings. This is one of the easiest ways to tie a new set of shower walls into the rest of the bathroom’s existing metalwork, while giving you greater choice when selecting laminate accessories.
Most do. Trims are required for panels from the Original, Impression, Arcade and Tile Collections to guarantee a watertight finish. Majestic is the exception, since Hydrocore doesn’t require trims for waterproofing, though optional finishing trims are still available if you want a neater edge across your Showerwall panels installation.
Panel Adhesive is used to fix the panel itself to the wall, giving a strong, permanent bond across the full surface. Silicone Sealant is used separately to seal the joints, trims and edges once the panel is in place, creating a flexible, waterproof barrier that can move slightly with temperature without cracking. Both are needed for a complete, guarantee compliant installation and are key laminate accessories for installing Showerwall panels correctly.
