Refresh Your Bathroom or Kitchen with Moisture Resistant Panelling

Refresh Your Bathroom or Kitchen with Moisture Resistant Panelling

Some materials don’t fair well in with heat or humidity. Thankfully, there’s a smart, stylish way to protect walls in high humidity spaces, without compromising on design. Moisture resistant panelling comes into its own in steamy bathrooms, splashed walls behind sinks, or food prep areas that take a daily battering.

Look no further for guaranteed straightforward process and stunning results when planning some quick weekend DIY in the bathroom or a full kitchen refresh.

What is Moisture Resistant Panelling?

Moisture resistant panelling is a specially engineered MDF (short for medium density fibreboard) that’s treated to withstand humid environments.

This makes it a no-brainer for:

  • Kitchens,
  • Bathrooms,
  • Utility rooms
  • Commercial spaces like salons or bars

The thing is, standard MDF can warp or swell when exposed to moisture. On the other hand, moisture resistant panelling brings extra resilience and a smooth, easy-to-paint surface, in both classic and contemporary interiors.

Kitchen Wall Panelling

At a functional level, moisture resistant MDF panels protect busy splash zones, cooking areas and awkward corners. Whereas aesthetically, they also add character to your kitchen.

Some of the brilliant benefits of moisture resistant kitchen wall panelling include:

  • Great behind sinks and food prep counters
  • Easy to wipe clean
  • A coat of paint away from your existing or new colour scheme – and looks just as good in a soft white as it does in bold navy or pretty pastel

Bathroom Wall Panelling

In addition, moisture resistant MDF boards are equally impactful when used for bathroom wall panelling. It helps maintain a cleaner, drier environment, even in high humidity conditions. As a result, it’s a powerful asset for transforming bathrooms big or small, thanks to the handy ways it:
  • Adds both functionality and refinement behind the bath, around sinks, or on feature walls
  • Pairs beautifully with tiles or stands confidently on its own
  • Won’t warp like regular wood panels

Commercial uses for Moisture Resistant Pnelling

What’s more, kitchen and bathroom wall panelling isn’t confined to the home. It’s just as vital if you’ve got an office, shop, bar or restaurant you need to keep shipshape.

For these purposes, you’ll often see bathroom and kitchen wall panelling at work in the following ways:

  • Bar fronts and toilets in pubs or restaurants
  • Salons and spas where steam and splashes are common
  • Retail spaces where style and substance are key – preferably without constant upkeep

Easy Ways to Get the Look

The good news is it’s never been simpler to make an impact with kitchen and bathroom wall panelling,  on a DIY basis or when leaving the legwork to the professionals.
