Shower Panels have exploded in popularity in the last few years. One of the key reasons for this is the shower panel being 600mm or 1 Metre wide so they are straightforward to fit and due to their size, very quick to install.

How many shower panels do we need?

Measuring for shower wall panels is a simple task. To start you will require the following...

• Paper and Pen
• Measuring Tape
• Calculator or your phone.

Will you be panelling the whole wall or will you use your shower panels for the shower area? In the following example we will measure to fit panels around a 900mm x 900mm shower tray.

How to calculate the number of shower panels required for a 900 x 900mm shower tray

Calculating for 1000mm Shower Panels

The graphic below illustrates for a 900 x 900mm shower tray you would require two 1000mm shower panels. With a shower panel measuring 1000mm you can either cut to match the tray width or leave it long.

You could of course extend this by adding further panels to cover the whole wall.

Calculating for 600mm Shower Panels

The graphic below illustrates for a 900mm x 900mm shower tray you will require four 600mm shower panels. The panels come in a pack of two giving a width of 1200mm. You can either cut to match the size of the tray or leave long.

You could of course extend this by adding further panels to cover the wall.

How to calculate the number of shower panels when fitting over a bath.

Calculating for 1000mm Shower Panels

The graphic below illustrates for a standard bath size (1700mm x 700mm) you will require three 1000mm shower panels. You would fit these in an L configuration.

If we assume the bath height is 510 mm, you will reduce shower panel #2 by that amount (depending on trims selected)

Pro Tip - the shower panel offcuts make a great bath panel

Calculating for 600mm Shower Panels

The graphic below illustrates for a 1700 mm bath you will require five 600mm panels. You can add a sixth panel (600mm wall panels come in packs of two). Our 600mm wall panels fit together with our Super 7 250mm panels perfectly so if you want to complete the full wall you have multiple options.
