Bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms within hotels and sports and leisure facilities need to be able to withstand the daily rigours of hospitality and leisure life. This means being durable, long lasting, and hygienic. However, they should also be stylish and evoke a safe, relaxed ambience.
When it comes to choosing wall coverings for these environments, ceramic tiles have traditionally been the first – and only – option. Although tiling can offer both style and substance at first, deterioration can occur very quickly. If not cleaned thoroughly grout can attract mould and mildew which causes tiles to look discoloured and unsightly. Tiles are also relatively easy to damage, particularly in areas of heavy usage such as changing rooms and hotel bathrooms. Chips and scratches are all to common and are obvious to the user.
The solution is wall panels, such as those from Zest Wall Panels.
The power of panels
These panels are manufactured from the highest quality PVC, which makes them strong and durable yet also lightweight. The ZX panels and 1-metre-wide shower panel collections are particularly ideal for hotel and leisure environments. They are simple to install, can be installed in less than a third of the time it takes to fit traditional tiles due to their size, and can even be fitted directly over existing tiles, all of which helps to reduce installation costs.
Hygienic, healthy, low maintenance
In terms of maintenance and hygiene, these panels are 100% waterproof and do not require any grout. This reduces the risk of mould and mildew developing, helping to keep the environment healthy. They are also exceptionally easy to maintain, requiring only a wipe with a clean cloth to keep them looking like new.
Style and substance
The benefits of Zest’s ZX range have already been recognised by a national gym chain, which is using Zest wall panels at new facilities as well as for refurbishment of existing sites. And it’s no wonder. The ZX range features PVC panels with a solid core construction, which makes them impact resistant, highly durable, and able to withstand the demands of a busy hotel or leisure environment. However, Zest also understands the need for facilities to offer its clients and stylish and inviting setting. That is why these panels are available in a range of designs and colours, which perfectly emulate real materials. The highly realistic, textured finish is also warm to the touch helping to create an appealing atmosphere.
