Seemless joint with Hydrolock®

Hydrolock® The Multipanel Hydrolock connection makes it possible to join two panels together with a near seamless joint. Precisely engineered, the Hydrolock edge details create a discreet and watertight joint. Hydrolock can be installed on uneven walls with a variation of 6mm.

Fit ‘grooved’ edge first, and the ‘tongued’ edge of the next panel angled in

“I had a wide range of colours to choose from, and it has made my bathroom look so much better.”

Supporting the local economy

Happy tenants

Our panels are manufactured in the UK and are distributed to our customers via 9 depots across the UK. This means we are able to support housing associations and their network of contractors, helping them to hit their business targets.

Tenants across the social housing sector love our bathroom wall panels as they provide a hygienic, easy to clean alternative to traditional tiles and our range suits all needs and tastes.

Environment

Value for money

Our Classic, Heritage, Neutrals and Linda Barker wall panels are made using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) (C128180) certified timber, which means we hold full chain of custody, ensuring that our products are made from sustainable sources.

Not only can Multipanel reduce installation costs by up to £30/m2, lifetime value is also impacted as our panels come with a 30-year warranty with little to no snagging or maintenance required during this time.

Changing the way the housing sector decorate bathrooms

How will your next project benefit from using Multipanel?

A change for the better

Our wall panels, flooring and ceilings are suitable for use across the housing sector, including;

Certified sustainability

Speed of construction is crucial in delivering housing projects and our waterproof wall panels can be fitted within 1 day (compared to 3-5 days for traditional tiles). Our wall panels can be fitted straight onto a timber framework or over existing tiles and there is no need to wait for specialist trades on-site. Our waterproof walls, ceilings and floors also come with unique tongue and groove technology offering a rapid installation solution.

High on the agenda of most procurement departments is sustainability. Our Classic, Heritage, Neutrals and Linda Barker collections are manufactured in the UK using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) (C128180) certified timber and they are also 100% recyclable. By choosing FSC products, you are supporting responsible management of the World’s forests.

Reduced maintenance costs and void time

Whether installation is in new homes or refurbishment of existing, Multipanel waterproof wall panels provide a quick, durable and modern way to decorate bathrooms and wet areas in place of traditional tiles.

Our waterproof wall panels don’t require grout so new bathrooms can be installed quickly, void properties can be turned around within 24 hours and ongoing maintenance costs are greatly reduced with the risk of mould and blackspot eliminated. With our panels, you can also be assured that sustainability credentials are catered for too as our Classic, Heritage, Neutrals and Linda Barker panels are all made using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) (C128180) certified timber and are 100% recyclable.

Increased speed of installation

One of the major challenges for bathrooms in social or rental markets is the need to refresh for incoming tenants. After a tenant moves out, significant cleaning time is often required and, in many cases, maintenance involves replacing tiles. These challenges can be overcome with the use of our wall panels as all they require is a simple wipe down with a non-abrasive detergent to maintain their pristine condition, well beyond their 30-year warranty. In the absence of grout, maintenance issues caused by daily use are removed.

“Customer satisfaction polls are of the highest value to our business, and we regularly score above 98%.

Our business model revolves around our ability to complete the fit out in just one day, and Multipanel has been a game changer. Cost is of course a consideration but so too was minimising the amount of disruption for tenants and also limiting void periods between tenancies” Andy Shearer Managing Director MCN Ltd - Contractor for Weslo Housing Association

Councillor Sandra Peak Cabinet Member for Housing at Bolsover Council

“It is a very attractive finish which has completely brightened up my bathroom. I just have to wipe it clean.”

How Bolsover Council has benefited by switching to Multipanel

• Social housing

• Student accommodation

“Multipanel is more cost effective to fit than the tiles we previously used.

Our tenants find it easier to clean and it looks better, especially in a wet room. Switching to Multipanel has also vastly reduced the number of properties we need to revisit to carry out maintenance.”
