Multipanel
The modern alternative to tiles
About
Multipanel is one of the most recognised names in the UK for waterproof shower and bathroom wall panels. Designed as a modern alternative to traditional tiles, Multipanel panels offer a clean, seamless finish without the maintenance issues that usually come with grout lines.
Manufactured by Grant Westfield, a company established in 1881, the brand has built a strong reputation for combining durability, practical installation, and contemporary bathroom design. Multipanel products are commonly used in shower enclosures, bathrooms, wet rooms, utility spaces, and even kitchen walls where moisture resistance is important.
One of the main reasons homeowners and installers choose Multipanel is its fully waterproof construction. Unlike traditional tiling, these panels create a watertight surface with fewer joints, helping reduce the risk of mould, staining, and water penetration over time. The grout-free design also makes day-to-day cleaning much easier.
The brand’s HydroLock tongue-and-groove joint system is another key feature. It allows panels to connect neatly together, creating a smooth and almost seamless appearance while maintaining a waterproof seal. This helps achieve a more modern bathroom finish compared to conventional tile installations.
Installation is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Multipanel shower panels can often be fitted directly over existing tiles or prepared wall surfaces, reducing renovation time and labour costs. Panels can also be trimmed to size and installed using panel adhesive and finishing trims for a clean professional result.
Multipanel offers a range of panel sizes to suit different bathroom layouts and project requirements. Common sizes include:
- 2400 x 598mm
- 2400 x 900mm
- 2400 x 1200mm
Most panels are manufactured with an 11mm thickness, providing a balance of strength, stability, and ease of handling during installation.
In terms of style, Multipanel panels are available in a wide selection of finishes inspired by natural stone, marble, concrete, wood, and modern textured surfaces. This gives homeowners the flexibility to create both contemporary and classic bathroom designs without the upkeep associated with tiles.
Because of their waterproof performance, low-maintenance surface, and faster installation process, Multipanel bathroom wall panels have become a popular choice for both residential and commercial bathroom renovations across the UK.
