Say hello to the Slatpanel® Hydro in white - our iconic slat wall panel, reimagined for the spaces where style meets steam. Bathrooms, shower enclosures, wet rooms, kitchen backsplashes - these are the rooms that deserve beautiful panelling just as much as any other in your home, but until now, traditional wood slat panels simply weren't up to the job. The Slatpanel® Hydro range changes that. Built around the same slat profile that has made our panels one of the most sought-after wall finishes in interior design, the Hydro takes that formula and makes it water-ready. Each panel features a polystyrene (PS) core wrapped in a clear coat PVC layer, creating a surface that shrugs off splashes, steam, and humidity without breaking a sweat. That PVC coating also makes cleaning genuinely effortless - a quick wipe is all it takes to keep your panels looking as fresh as the day they went up. Despite their robust construction, Hydro panels are remarkably lightweight, making them easy to carry, cut, and position - even when working in the confines of a shower enclosure. Installation is handled via a tongue and groove system - panels click neatly together for a seamless, professional finish. For the cleanest look, panels should be fixed using a grab adhesive only; avoid screws, which would detract from the seamless finish. Sealant should be applied along the tongue and groove edge to close the small gap between panels, preventing water and moisture from getting behind the installation. The white color takes a smooth, grain-free approach - a clean, contemporary finish that works brilliantly in minimalist and monochrome bathroom schemes. To complete the installation properly, we also offer a dedicated Slatpanel® Hydro Adhesive and Sealant, available in both black and white, designed specifically to work alongside these panels. Clean, bright, and fresh - a smooth finish for minimal bathrooms. The white color takes a different direction to the rest of the Hydro range. Without a wood grain print, the smooth, clean finish reads as crisp and contemporary - ideal for bathrooms that lean into a Scandi-influenced, all-white, or monochrome aesthetic. White works effortlessly with polished chrome, white sanitaryware, and light stone-effect surfaces, creating a cohesive, airy feel throughout. It's also a strong choice for smaller bathrooms and shower rooms where a lighter palette helps the space feel larger and more open. Simple, fresh, and timeless - the white Hydro panel is a clean canvas that lets the rest of your scheme shine.
