Find practical PVC shower wall panel guides from The UFS Group, organized around the decisions you make before, during and after a bathroom renovation. Start with the question you have now, then follow the related guide when you are ready for the next step.

Covering existing tile
Assess the old tile, wall condition and finished wall depth before choosing an overlay.
Measuring and ordering
Count sheets wall by wall, compare real UFS formats and convert sheets to cartons.
Cleaning and finish care
A practical UFS care guide for PVC shower walls: gentle cleaning, water spots, joint checks, finish protection and the information to send when a mark will not lift.
Trims, joints and corners
Plan panel joins, internal corners, exposed edges and plumbing details. Use a wall sketch to prepare a UFS trim list and keep decorative finishing separate from waterproofing.
Installation preparation
Prepare your shower panel project with checks for product instructions, wall condition, finished dimensions, trims, adhesive, fixtures and handover records.
Tub-surround planning
Plan bathroom wall panels around an alcove tub: measure from the correct edge, review the tub connection, check sheet height and coordinate controls and enclosure fit.
Problems and next checks
Assess water spots, scratches, loose panels, opening joints and leaks without guessing a repair. Use a symptom checklist and prepare useful photos for UFS or your installer.
Compare the right UFS sheet before you calculate
Similar finishes do not always have the same dimensions. Golden Glacier and Light Grey Marble list 96.06 × 39.37-inch sheets at 10 mm thick. White Stone lists 94.49 × 39.37 inches, while the White Marble gloss sheet lists 94.49 × 23.62 inches.
Check the exact model, coverage, packaging and intended application. A generic “eight-foot panel” description can hide an important difference in height or width. Use the quantity guide to see how those differences affect a wall layout.
Prepare a project brief before requesting a quote
Use the following checklist as a worksheet. Keep the wall sketch, photos and product details together so your supplier and installer can review the same project.
| Information to collect | What to record |
|---|---|
| Room and layout | Shower alcove, corner enclosure or tub surround; which walls need coverage. |
| Wall measurements | Separate widths and heights, variations, and the intended lower and upper reference points. |
| Selected material | Product name, finish, dimensions, thickness and selling unit. |
| Existing conditions | Current wall finish, known moisture or movement, and repair work already identified. |
| Connections | Panel joins, internal and external corners, exposed edges and base or tub detail. |
| Fixtures | Controls, pipes, shelves, niches, windows and planned glass hardware. |
| Installation scope | Who is preparing the wall, installing the panels and coordinating plumbing or glass work. |
| Photos and records | Wide room views, close views of unusual details, and relevant product information. |
Finish the installation-readiness checklist with your installer before cutting or fixing. After installation, retain the product names, installation products and care instructions for future maintenance.
