How do you measure for Wet Wall Shower Panels

Measuring for wetwall shower panels, essential for waterproof wall paneling in bathrooms and wet areas, is a critical step to ensure a precise fit and a successful installation. Here's a detailed guide on how to measure for wetwall:

Tools You'll Need:

• Tape measure
• Pencil or marker
• Paper or notebook to record measurements

Step 1: Determine the Wall Dimensions

Commence by measuring the height and width of the wall(s) intended for wetwall coverage. Measure from the floor to the ceiling for height and from one end of the wall to the other for width.

Step 2: Account for Obstacles

Identify any obstacles on the wall necessitating cutouts in the wetwall panels. These may include electrical outlets, switches, plumbing fixtures, or other features. Measure the height, width, and distance from the nearest corner or edge of the wall for each obstacle.

Step 3: Plan for Panel Layout

Decide on the layout of the wetwall panels. Choose between using full panels for the entire wall or partial panels to suit the wall's dimensions. For partial panels, measure the width and height of the space allotted for each panel.

Step 4: Add Extra for Overlaps

Factor in overlapping panels when measuring for wetwall. Allocate a small gap (typically around 3-5 mm) between panels to accommodate expansion and contraction due to temperature and humidity changes. This gap will be concealed by trim or sealing.

Step 5: Double-Check Measurements

Ensure measurement accuracy by double-checking all measurements. It's advisable to measure each section of the wall separately to detect any disparities. Record all measurements meticulously.

Step 6: Purchase Slightly Extra Material

When procuring wetwall panels, acquire a slight surplus of material to accommodate potential mistakes, future repairs, or unforeseen challenges during installation. Most suppliers recommend obtaining an additional 5-10% of material beyond the measured square footage.

Step 7: Consult with a Professional (Optional)

If uncertain about measuring or planning your wetwall installation, consider seeking advice from a professional or the supplier from whom you're acquiring the wetwall panels. They can provide expert guidance to ensure accurate measurements and appropriate materials for your project.

By following these steps and exercising diligence in measurement, you can effectively prepare for the installation of wetwall shower panels, facilitating a seamless and successful transformation of your bathroom or wet area.
