Frequently Asked Questions
What is Wetwall?
Wetwall is an innovative wall panel system for wet applications, such as tub or shower walls, wainscoting, wall cladding, backsplashes, tub skirts, and more.
What materials are Wetwall panels made of?
Our patented panel system, installed with Wilsonart Panel Adhesive (PUR (Polyurethane Reactive)) and Wilsonart Color Coordinated Sealant, consists of a decorative high-performance top layer, bonded to a solid composite core, and a non-decorative high-performance bottom layer. This makes Wetwall both waterproof and lightweight.
What tub and shower configurations can Wetwall be used for?
Single-wall, corner, and alcove baths/showers. Innovative tongue/groove and bullnose panels can extend beyond bath/shower surrounds.
What are the advantages of Wetwall over bathroom tile?
Tile is heavy and brittle. It’s porous, letting in moisture, which leads to mold and mildew. It scratches and scuffs. And, because it requires grout, it’s difficult to clean and even harder to install. Wetwall, on the other hand, is waterproof, resists mold, cleans up easily, and can be installed in a snap. And with simple prep, Wetwall can be adhered right over existing tile. Learn more about how Wetwall outperforms tile.
Is Wetwall good for commercial spaces?
Yes! Discover new bulk-order Wetwall options for larger-scale projects in commercial spaces, including apartment complexes, senior living, educational housing, and more. Cut back on labor, time, and cost without sacrificing beauty.
How long does it take to install Wetwall?
Installing a new Wetwall tub or Shower Surround system takes approximately 2.5 hours from start to finish.
What substrates do the panels go on?
Our patented tongue-and-groove panels fit and lock into existing spaces to quickly go over various substrates — gypsum (sheetrock), greenboard, fiberboard, cement or concrete board, plaster, and, of course, even tile.
Can Wetwall be used for ceilings or floors?
Wetwall cannot be used for floors. However, it can be used on the ceiling in shower and tub surround applications only.
Can I use Wetwall around window sills and niches?
Yes, Wetwall panels are easily cut to finish the look around windows and niches.
How much does a Wetwall panel weigh?
Our lightweight patented panels are approximately 1.65 lb/sq.ft. A standard 32" W x 60" L x 72" H 4-panel kit will weigh approximately 105 lbs.
What tools can I use to install Wetwall?
You’ll need a pencil, tape measure, drill, heavy-duty caulking gun, hole saw, level, circular saw with a fine tooth blade, square chalk-line, heavy-duty suction cups, router, denatured alcohol, and 1/8” wooden shims.
Does Wetwall need special sealants?
Yes, Wetwall sealant is carefully color coordinated to the panels for a seamless look. Plus, Wetwall is engineered with patented scratch-&-scuff-resistant AEON™ Technology to provide a more durable surface that stays beautiful for years. Its built-in Antimicrobial Protection guards the surface from mold and mildew.
What color sealant should I use?
Wetwall offers an array of high-quality sealants designed to carefully coordinate with the color of your panels for a seamless look. The antifungal protection provides a lasting water-resistant seal. See our color chart.
How and where should I apply the sealant?
Once all panels are securely in place and set, apply the color coordinated sealant to all corners, seams between panels, and gaps between bottom panels and tub or shower pan.
Can I attach a grab bar, storage, or accessories?
Yes, Wetwall panels are easily cut to allow for the installation of shower heads, bath spouts, handles, and grab bars. And it’s simple to complete the look with a niche or corner shelf.
Can I install Wetwall with just one person?
Yes. Wetwall panels are lightweight, making it easy for one person to handle and install them.
